In view of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the consequent lockdown imposed, the Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce & Industry vide its Letter dated 6th May 2021 has asked the Development Commissioners to consider and approve requests from the SEZ Units for extension of Work from Home (WFH) facility, in a liberal manner, till such time the National Disaster Management Authority or the State Governments continue to issue orders governing the Covid-19 Pandemic Management.
