The Employees' State Insurance Corporation has clarified administrative responsibilities for revenue and recovery under the Code on Social Security, 2020. In Regional or Sub-Regional Offices where a Joint Director is posted, that official is designated as the authority for revenue, recovery, and appellate matters under Section 126 of the Code, alongside the Regional Director or Joint Director in charge. Furthermore, the issuance of C-18 notices for cases involving wages or omitted wages exceeding ₹20 lakh now requires prior assessment and approval from the Joint Director (Revenue). Additionally, offices are directed to deploy multiple Recovery Officers where feasible to enhance the effectiveness of recovery proceedings.
What you must do
