contract labour is the outsources labour wherein the contractro has seperate PF No but in case of default the principal employer is equally liable. Casual labour is the one not regularly appiointed appointed for short period (generally daily rated)employer is liable to deposit his PF.

All Employee, other than Permanent Staff.

Casual Labour are those, who had not completed 18 working days in a year, and are employed for temporary bass or extra workload, on day to day basis.

Section 2 of the EPF&MP Act relates to Definitions .There is no difference between different kinds of employees as Section 2(f) defines the "employee" which includes any person employed by or through a contractor in or in connection with the work of the estt.

no more needed.

Mr. Chandok reverted well in real term of law. this is fact that there is no difference between contractual and regulae employees. both are equally entitled for EPF benefits. EPFO desired that PF shall be deposited in the respective A/c of contractual employees, if this is not done EPFO can recover contribution either from contractor or PE.
