Subject: Monitoring of registration of employers/employees under SPREE programme
Sir,
As you are aware, ESIC has launched a Scheme to promote Registration of Employers and Employees (SPREE), effective from $1^{\text{st}}$ July 2025 to $31^{\text{st}}$ December 2025, to encourage employers to register their establishments and employees under the ESI Act.
To ensure effective implementation and to monitor the progress and outcomes of this initiative, the PR branch has already issued detailed guidelines vide letter No. 13/14/11/2025-PR dated 01.07.2025. Thus, all field offices are requested to take the following actions:
Provide full support and guidance to employers for the smooth completion of the online registration process for both factories/establishments and employees. Officers and staff of the RO/SRO and Branch Offices may be sensitized to guide the employers for online registration in case of difficulty.
Units covered during SPREE will not be marked for inspection for one year. ICT Branch Headquarters' office is being advised not to push the data of these employer for inspection. If inspection of a unit covered during SPREE, 2025 is marked to the SSO's due to the category of All New covered/Registered units as per the New Inspection Policy, 2014 and unit is making regular compliance then, record of such unit should not be verified by the SSO and a remark “No inspection required as unit is covered during the period of SPREE 2025, should be uploaded by the SSO's on the SSP Portal. No inspection for the period prior to date of registration will be made by the SSO.
No survey of the units will be conducted during SPREE unless specific directions of the Headquarters/CAIU is received. Instead the field offices should start extensive outreach program to approach such employers to apprise them about the SPREE.
This office has already supplied the list of MSME units showing 10 or more employers as per database. As advised earlier the list may be scrutinized and all the units except already covered/non implemented areas may be approached and apprised about the SPREE launched by ESIC & benefits available to Employers/Employees. All such units should be approached during the period and coverable employer may be encouraged to cover themselves using Sharm Suvidha Portal (SSP)/ESIC Portal. Similarly, the data of uncovered units received from other sources viz. EPFO, State labour department, State health department, Industries & chief inspector of factories & boiler may also be utilized for outreach activities. A fortnightly report requires to be submitted in the given proforma for further submission to the Ministry. Advertisement materials will be supplied by PR division of Hqrs' office should be distributed to the approached employers.
ROs/SROs may also approach the State labour department, Health department, Industries & chief inspector of factories & boiler & Education department to apprise about the SPREE with the request to bring it in the notice of all establishment under their jurisdiction.
All the Zonal Insurance Commissioners will closely monitor the performance of the Regions so that the target of coverage of all coverable but uncovered units and employees can be achieved during SPREE.
You are hereby advised to put in your best efforts and take all necessary measures to achieve the desired targets under the SPREE initiative. Fortnightly report in the enclosed Performa should be submitted to this office by $16^{\text{th}}$ of Month and $1^{\text{st}}$ of the following month.
