Indian Government amends Special Economic Zone rules to permit employees of certain Special Economic Zone units to work from home

The new rule allows employees of Special Economic Zone (SEZ) units engaged in Information Technology (IT) or IT enabled services (ITeS) and a few other specified categories to work from home upon meeting certain conditions.

The new rule provides guidance on the procedures for seeking the necessary approvals and other compliance requirements.

IT/ITeS SEZ units will need to carefully review the impact of this Rule and take steps to obtain approvals and maintain prescribed documentation.
