Dear Sirs, Please clarify: A company has deployed persons on consolidated fees to another company for doing work. The designation in their appointment is Marketing executive. Both the companies not deducted the EPF contribution from the fees paid to the workers thinking that the EPF contribution need not be deducted on the fees paid as they are working on consultant basis. whereas the EPF office is claiming that the EPF should have been deducted even from the fees. Hence initiated a case against the company who have deployed the manpower. Please clarify whether the manpower deploying company is under liability to deduct EPF contribution from the fees paid to the workers? Is the company who have taken the manpower not liable to deduct the contribution of EPF? MARIMUTHU.P
