Statutory EPF and ESIC Compliance & Consultancy for Meghalaya’s Industrial & Resource Corridors

City Snap

Late-2025 enforcement in Meghalaya is driven by hazardous-process ESIC mandates, cement-sector PE liability, ADC regulatory overlap, and SRO Shillong inspections.

Byrnihat Hazardous Process & ESIC Enforcement (2025)

ESIC from the First Employee

Byrnihat’s sponge iron, ferroalloy, steel, and coke units are classified as hazardous processes. ESIC is mandatory from employee #1 under the Social Security Code 2025.

Contractual Labor Coverage Audits

SRO Shillong is auditing manual and contractual labor deployment to ensure no worker is left outside ESIC coverage, a common trigger for accident liability cases.

Cement Sector PE Liability & Mining Workforce Risk

Principal Employer Exposure

Large cement plants in East Jaintia Hills face joint and several liability for mining, loading, and transport contractors if PF/ESI filings are incomplete.

Vendor Compliance & Site Mapping

We implement site-wise PF code mapping and contractor reconciliation to prevent RO-triggered 7A inquiries and payment blocks.

ADC Norms, EEC-2025 & Subsidy Protection

Sixth Schedule & ADC Overlap

Umiam and Shillong MSMEs often face conflicts between State labor laws and Autonomous District Council trade licenses. Statutory misalignment invites inspections.

EEC-2025 Amnesty Window

The Employees’ Enrolment Campaign 2025 allows regularization of past workers for ₹100 per employee, ensuring eligibility for MIIPP 2024-25 and power subsidies.
