The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation has issued an important clarification regarding the New Amnesty Scheme, 2025 to help employers resolve pending disputes smoothly.

The key point is that employers do not need prior permission from the Court to settle disputes under this scheme. Instead, if any case is already pending in Court, the settlement must simply be presented before the Court for closure or withdrawal of the case.

This makes the process easier and faster, encouraging out-of-court settlements while ensuring proper legal closure. Employers opting for the scheme must also submit an undertaking that they will withdraw their pending cases after settlement.

Overall, the clarification simplifies compliance and promotes quicker dispute resolution under the scheme.
