Complete Labour Law & Regulatory Compliance for Hospitals, Pharma & Healthcare Chains

City Snap

From EPF/ESIC for Doctors to Drug Licensing & Factories Act Compliance—We Safeguard Your Entire Healthcare Workforce and Operations

Healthcare and pharmaceutical institutions operate in one of India’s most heavily regulated environments. HR and compliance teams must simultaneously manage EPF/ESIC for doctors, consultants, nurses, and support staff, maintain Factories Act and OHS Code compliance for pharma manufacturing.

Zero-Risk Healthcare Compliance. From Drug Licenses to Factories Act, Secure Your Operations.

In the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry, compliance is the difference between an operational license and an immediate closure notice. Your regulatory burden is dual-layered: specific licensing (CDSCO/State Drug Authorities) and general labour law (EPF/ESIC/Factories Act).

The Critical Threat

An incorrect calculation of EPF for a resident doctor or a lapse in maintaining the mandatory registers under the Factories Act can trigger an inspection that leads to scrutiny of your primary licenses.

The EPFDesk Healthcare Shield

We specialize in this dual compliance universe. We manage the core labour laws that impact your payroll (EPF/ESIC/Gratuity) while providing the documentation rigor needed to sail through specialized audits (NABH, GMP, and Drug Inspector inspections).

Compliance Across the Healthcare Value Chain

Our services are segmented to address the unique statutory needs of each business type in the medical sector.

Hospitals/Nursing Homes

Hospitals and nursing homes often struggle with correctly classifying doctors, consultants, nurses, and administrative staff for EPF and ESIC purposes. Misclassifying professional fee recipients as non-employees can trigger heavy retrospective PF/ESI demands during audits. We provide precise EPF/ESI liability consulting, helping you distinguish employees from consultants and ensuring accurate contributions—protecting your institution from major financial and legal exposure.

Pharma Manufacturing Units

Pharmaceutical manufacturing units operate under strict Factories Act, OSHWC Code, and environmental (ETP/PCB) requirements. Non-compliance with safety norms, hazardous waste handling, working-hour rules, or factory documentation can lead to severe penalties and operational shutdowns. We provide integrated factory and labour audits, covering Form 7/8 annual return filings, mandatory safety committee compliance, and full coordination with the Pollution Control Board (PCB) to keep your plant fully compliant, audit-ready, and risk-free.

Pharmacy Chains (Retail/Wholesale)

Pharmacy chains must strictly comply with the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, including timely license renewals, maintaining approved storage conditions, and ensuring certified Registered Pharmacists are employed at every outlet. Any lapse can lead to license suspension and business disruption. We offer complete license life-cycle management, including renewal tracking and assistance for Wholesale (Form 20B/21B) and Retail Drug Licenses (Form 20/21), fully aligned with state-specific labour law requirements—ensuring uninterrupted, compliant operations across all pharmacy locations.

Key Statutory Risk Mitigation Services

We turn your high-risk areas into audit-ready operations

Social Security for Healthcare

We manage the complex contribution cycles for high-volume staff (nurses, paramedics, support staff) and handle the sensitive classification of specialist doctors and visiting faculty to minimize tax and liability exposure.

Occupational Safety, Health, and Working Conditions (OSHWC) Code Readiness

For manufacturing, we assist with the required risk assessments, health monitoring, and safety committee documentation under the new code, replacing the archaic Factories Act provisions.

Contract Labour Management

We ensure full principal employer compliance for outsourced services (security, housekeeping, mess staff) as mandated by the Contract Labour (R&A) Act by auditing vendor EPF/ESIC remittances and license status.
