These include employees of IT/ITeS SEZ units; employees who are temporarily incapacitated; employees who are travelling and who are working offsite, said the ministry. WFH may be extended to a maximum of 50 per cent of total employees, including contractual employees of the unit, it added.

In respect of SEZ units whose employees are already working from home, the notification has provided a transition period of 90 days to seek approval.
