A FIRM ‘X’ IS REGISTERED UNDER ESIC SCHEME AND GETTING JOB WORK (ASSEMBLY OF MATERIAL) FROM ONE OF HIS JOB WORKER ON JOB WORKER’S PREMISES. JOB WORKER IS NOT REGISTERED UNDER ESIC SCHEME, SINCE HE IS EMPLOYING ONLY SEVEN WORKERS. HE TAKES THE MATERIAL FROM THE FIRM ‘X’ AND DELIVER THE SEMI FINISHED/ FINISHED GOODS AFTER COMPLETION OF JOB WORK (ASSEMBLY OF MATERIAL) FROM HIS PREMISES. FIRM ‘X’ DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL & SUPERVISION ON HIS JOB WORKER’S EMPLOYEES & QUALITY CONTROL. JOB WOKKER IS FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE & QUALITY AND HE IS DOING JOB WORK FOR OTHER COMPANIES ALSO.
AT THE TIME OF ESI INSPECTION, ESI INSPECTOR ASKED FIRM ‘X’ TO DEPOSIT THE ESI CONTRIBUTION OF JOB WORKER’S EMPLOYEES, SINCE THEY ARE WORKING FOR THE FIRM ‘X’.
PLEASE CLARIFY, IS THERE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OF FIRM ‘X’ TO DEPOSIT ESI CONTRIBUTION OF HIS JOB WORKER’S EMPLOYEES OR NOT?.
THANKS
