inspection is governed by CIAW now, and they get data from multiple sources, viz ESIC,EPFO, IncomeTax, Labour department, statics
if the industry is running smooth and discharging the payment liability on regular basis , then they don't shortlist such establishments for visit.
they keep close watch on defaulters and evaders, and visit there with firm data in hand.
