Under the EPF Act, the provisions start applying to an establishment once it has twenty or more persons who are employed. If you look at the definitions, the word person is not defined. However, the word employee is defined, and that includes contractor workers.
I want to understand if there are any SC judgements saying that the word persons in Section *(*)(a) refers to employees and thereby contract workers too
To understand whether the term "persons" in Section *(*)(a) of the Employees' Provident Funds (EPF) Act, * includes employees and thereby contract workers, it's essential to look at Supreme Court (SC) judgments interpreting this section.
Here are some key points from relevant judgments:
- **Supreme Court Judgments**: The SC has interpreted the applicability of the EPF Act in several cases, highlighting that contract workers are included in the definition of "employees."
- **Case Law**: The SC in "The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner vs. Dharamsi Morarji Chemical Co. Ltd." held that the term "employee" includes contract workers.
- **Interpretation**: SC has consistently ruled that the EPF Act's provisions apply to all employees, including contract workers, to ensure social security.
