Statutory EPF and ESIC Compliance & Consultancy for Dehradun & Uttarakhand Hill Clusters

Late-2025 enforcement in Uttarakhand is driven by pharma wage-code audits, environmental compliance linkage, and subsidy-conditional EPF/ESIC certification for hill MSMEs.
Pharma & Education Hub Compliance (Dehradun – Selaqui)
50% Wage Rule – Pharma & MRs
RO Dehradun is auditing allowance-heavy salary structures for factory staff and medical representatives. Basic + DA must be at least 50% of Gross to avoid retrospective PF demands.
Hazardous Process ESIC Mandate
All pharmaceutical formulation units in Selaqui are classified as hazardous. ESIC coverage is mandatory from the first employee due to chemical exposure risks.
Foothills Logistics & Trading Gateway (Haldwani – Lalkuan)
Principal Employer Liability
Warehousing and transport-heavy units face PE liability for loading, unloading, and driver labor. Gate-entry vs PF ECR mismatch is a key 7A trigger in 2025.
EEC-2025 Amnesty Window
Trading and logistics firms can regularize casual and seasonal staff for ₹100 per employee, critical for avoiding multi-year retrospective demands.

Subsidy-Linked Compliance
Under the Hill MSME Policy 2025, state subsidies are released only after EPF/ESIC clean certification. Non-compliance directly blocks capital and interest subsidies.
Kotdwar (Sigaddi) Industrial Surveillance
Engineering and fabrication units in Kotdwar are under labor safety and ESIC scrutiny due to power-driven machinery usage.
