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.

Do you have any other legal questions or need further clarification?
Thanks, I've read it. My question is little more specific to where Ordain is buying drugs manufactured under loan license arrangement where it's not a party. Cipla and Glenmark have a loan license arrangement to make these drugs. Ordain is just buying it from Cipla. Are there any additional complications due to loan license arrangement only? Things like GMP, quality control, storage and transport as applicable regardless of how Cipla is manufacturing the products, whether directly or through loan license
In the scenario where Ordain is buying drugs manufactured under a loan license arrangement between Cipla and Glenmark, here are some additional considerations:
Key Points:
- **Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)**:
- Ensure that Cipla, as the manufacturing entity, complies with GMP standards as per Schedule M.
- Regular audits and quality checks should be performed on Cipla’s manufacturing processes, even if they are using Glenmark’s facilities.
- **Quality Control**:
- Proper documentation and traceability of all quality control measures taken by Cipla, regardless of the manufacturing location.
- Records of all quality tests and batch releases should be maintained and accessible.
- **Storage and Transport**:
- Compliance with storage and transport regulations to maintain drug integrity.
- Ensure that both Cipla and Glenmark follow the prescribed storage and transportation guidelines.
- **Regulatory Compliance**:
- Ensure that all necessary licenses and regulatory approvals are in place for the loan license arrangement.
- Regularly review compliance with regulatory requirements for both Cipla and Glenmark.
- **Documentation**:
- Maintain comprehensive documentation of the loan license arrangement, including agreements, quality control records, and audits.
- Ensure that any deviations or changes in the manufacturing process are properly
