PF ACT - engagement of contractors.

Dear Sir

As per PF ACT, the pricpal employer is responsible for payment of PF dues by the contractor , sub contractor.

Simir, PF ACT exempt employers engagg less than 20 persons to be registered with PF Commissioner.

Is it legally correct if we engage multiple contractors with less than 20 employees under them, so the PRCIPAL EMPLOYER IS ABSOLVED OF THE RESPONSIBILITY UNDER PF ACT.

ANY CASE W ON THIS AND CAN I GET THE REFERENCE , GIST OF THE CASE W.

Regards
