Statutory EPF and ESIC Compliance for Ujjain’s Vikram Udyogpuri, Pharma & Food Industrial Clusters
Ujjain is one of MP’s highest-scrutiny districts due to Vikram Udyogpuri Smart City (DMIC), large MNC investments and legacy chemical/textile clusters.
Ujjain’s Smart City & Industrial Compliance Risks
High-value investments and strict contractor governance elevate Principal Employer exposure.
EEC-2025 Final Window (Vikram Udyogpuri)
Until April 30, 2026, employers can enroll workers engaged between 2017–2025 by paying only a ₹100 penalty, allowing Smart City units to formalize early-stage labour without retrospective liability.
ESIC Amnesty Scheme 2025 (Nagda & Maksi)
Operational Oct 2025–Sept 2026, enabling settlement of Sec 75/82/85 cases by paying contribution + interest, with 100% waiver of damages for compliant running units.

Construction-to-Operations Transition
Units completing construction in Vikram Udyogpuri must enroll labour under EEC-2025 before regular enforcement resumes in May 2026.
New Wage Code – 50% Rule
Allowance-heavy payrolls are flagged by AI audits at RO Ujjain if Basic + DA falls below 50% of CTC.
