V. VASUDEVAN (LEGAL COUNSEL) 06 May 2011
If the Contract has obtained a separate PF registration and the principal employer exercised due diligence/audit on PF remittance by the contractor, then he cannot be held liable. More details on the instance issue would be required for proper perspective and advice.
