Statutory EPF and ESIC Compliance for Mirzapur’s Carpet, Brassware & Mining Sectors
Mirzapur’s decentralized, piece-rate driven economy creates high PF & ESIC exposure for exporters, brass foundries and mining units under RO Varanasi.
Mirzapur’s Unique Compliance & PE Risks
Piece-rate wages, contractor-led production and hazardous industries drive aggressive enforcement.
Piece-Rate PF Mandate (2025)
