Madam/Sir,
Reference is invited to The New Amnesty Scheme, 2025, launched vide Instructions No. P-11/14/Amnesty Scheme/2023-Rev.II dated 24.07.2025. The Amnesty scheme as you are aware provides for the withdrawal of criminal cases against Insured Persons (IPs) and employers, and settlement of cases filed by employers under Sections 75 and 82 of the ESI Act, 1948.
The Scheme was initially operational from 01.10.2025 to 30.09.2026.
Several representations were subsequently received from various stakeholders seeking extension of the Scheme. This has been reviewed and the Competent Authority has approved a three-month extension, from 01.10.2026 to 31.12.2026, on the existing terms and conditions stipulated in the aforesaid instructions (copy enclosed).
All concerned stakeholders accordingly may be encouraged to avail themselves of the benefits of the Scheme during the extended period. Towards this, all field and administrative offices are instructed to ensure appropriate wide publicity similar to that done on earlier occasion beginning with press releases in local dailies.
Members of Regional Boards, Local Committees, workers' unions and employers' associations shall also be informed of the extension to ensure maximum participation.
This issues with the approval of Competent Authority.
Yours faithfully,
(Ashish Dixit)
