Sir, I think, the employees of contractor can raise the issue of wrong ESI contribution deductions with the nearest ESIC Office. I think, it may be Director, Sub Regional Office, Vadodara (Gujarat), or as you may find locally. The workers of the contractor can also raise the issue of wrong deduction of ESI contributions from their wages with the principal employer as well as with the State Govt. authorities appointed under relevant rules of Payment of Wages Act. If (as confirmed by you in your remarks in the thread) the area has not been implemented u/s 1(3) of ESI Act, 1948 and there are no medical/ESIC Branch Office facilities available in Daman, hence, in my opinion, it is not proper to make any deductions under said Act from the wages of employees.
