When the COVID 19 and the subsequent lockdown imposed restriction on regular office commutation, many industries resorted to the work-from-home mode of work. Even the government employees for whom the concept was not heard before were asked to work from home.
Now in the wake of "unlock" measures and the economy being opened up, the government has made it possible for companies to allow their employees to work permanently from home.
The government has announced simplification of guidelines for companies offering business process outsourcing (BPO) and IT-based services (ITeS). The requirement of periodic reporting and other commitments for companies have been eliminated.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had tweeted "Committed to furthering ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and making India a tech hub! GoI has significantly simplified Other Service Provider (OSP) guidelines of the Telecom Department. Compliance burdens of BPO industry will be greatly reduced due to this."
