FAQ

What are the most common hospital compliance failures in India?

PCPNDT record gaps, BMW manifest irregularities, POSH non-compliance and delayed PF/ESI deposits are the most frequently cited violations in government inspections.

How often should a hospital do a compliance audit?

A full internal compliance audit quarterly and an external audit annually is best practice; high-risk areas like BMW and labour law should be reviewed monthly.

Can a hospital be penalised for PCPNDT violations?

Yes — penalties include licence suspension, equipment seizure and criminal prosecution under the PCPNDT Act. Regular record-keeping and display compliance are essential.
