Statutory EPF and ESIC Compliance & Consultancy for Ludhiana’s Industrial Powerhouse

City Snap

Late-2025 enforcement in Ludhiana is driven by textile formalization, buyer-driven social audits, and strict RO Ludhiana scrutiny on wage structures and contractor compliance.

Textile & Hosiery Compliance Enforcement (2025)

50% Wage Rule & Incentive Audits

RO Ludhiana is auditing hosiery and knitwear units to ensure production-linked incentives and attendance bonuses are included correctly under the New Labour Code 2025 wage definition.

Buyer & Export Audit Readiness

Global and domestic buyers now require clean PF/ESI records. We conduct social compliance audits to ensure Ludhiana exporters pass buyer inspections without shipment delays.

Cycle Parts & Engineering PE Liability

Vendor Gate-Pass & Digital Verification

Large factories supplying to Hero, Avon, and OEMs use digital vendor portals to verify PF/ESI payment before releasing bills. Any contractor default leads to payment blocks.

Contractor Compliance Management

We implement structured contractor compliance systems to protect MSME vendors from Principal Employer (PE) liability escalation.

EEC-2025 Amnesty for Migrant Workforce

Seasonal & Migrant Worker Regularization

The EEC-2025 scheme allows knitwear and dyeing units to regularize off-the-roll workers missed since 2017 with a nominal ₹100 penalty.

14B Damage Risk Mitigation

Using the amnesty window prevents the severe Section 14B damages that RO Ludhiana is known for enforcing in retrospective audits.
