The Board of Practical Training, Eastern Region (BOPT(ER)), on April 2026, requires establishments registered on the NATS portal to submit a Letter of Consent confirming PAN India compliance under the Apprentices (Amendment) Act, 2014. The letter serves as an undertaking by organizations that they are duly registered and will adhere to statutory apprenticeship obligations.
The format mandates that the organization declare its registration on the NATS portal, provide details of its Eastern Region office, and confirm its commitment to regularly submit compliance documents as per notified apprenticeship seats. Additionally, organizations must furnish a structured list of their presence across India, including addresses and manpower strength (regular, contractual, outsourced).
The submission is to be made to the Director, BOPT(ER), Kolkata, ensuring transparency and centralized monitoring of apprenticeship compliance across the country. This requirement strengthens regulatory oversight and promotes uniform implementation of apprenticeship provisions on a PAN India basis.
