Ask each contractor for the month's PF return (ECR) and challan, the ESIC contribution details, the wage register and the muster roll. Match every worker by UAN and ESIC number, not by name. For each worker, check that the PF and ESIC deducted in the wage register were deposited for the same wages, and that no worker on the muster is missing from the returns. Send any difference back to the contractor with a plain reason, and approve the month only when every difference is fixed.
With Teamnet. Teamnet does this every month: each contractor's documents are read and cross-checked worker by worker, and your HR approves.
