A labour contractor having registered office in Kolkata, registered under Conntract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970, having EPF and ESI number of West Bengal circle, get some job at Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Andhra Pradesh.
(1) Whether he has to get sub code for EPF and ESI of those states to operate there ? He is sourcing all labours from West Bengal.
(2) Since the job is of contract basis, so he will be engaging labours for 3 or 4 months on contract basis. In that case, whether he has to pay the EPF/ESI also?
(3) Apart from Labours, there are Manager, Supervisor and Accountant also. So, whether he need to maintain seperate register for Wages and Salaries Or all the aforesaid categories can be included under the Form XIII as prescribed under rule 75 of Central/State Contract Labour Rules? IF seperate, in which format?
