On September 4, 2023, the EPFO released guidelines aimed at optimising the inspection procedure and enhancing its efficacy. According to the guidelines, establishments will be periodically nudged by SMS, emails, or letters for a period of three months. Reactions will be recorded in an electronic file, and if an establishment's response is deemed inadequate, a physical inspection will be requested. Guidelines for establishments that have been reported for closure include updating employee contributions and departure dates, confirming documentation of closure, and conducting an optional physical inspection.
When a matter needs immediate processing or resolution, physical inspections without coercion are permitted. Physical inspections classified as urgent or emergency are done without authorization or prodding in situations that call for quick action. The recommendations also address general physical inspections and place a strong emphasis on the calibre of inspection reports and the effective use of IT resources and capabilities.
