I do not think there can be any simple draft like an appointment letter since the reply has to be drafted considering factual aspects and inputs from the end of the company.

As already suggested in other threads:

Engage local Labor Law Consultant/Law firm. They can advise you compliances and handle the reply.

Dear Arun,

As suggested by other professionals it is not an easy matter. The Labour officer inspected and issued a notice related to non-compliance and the same is not going to be ended by submitting a letter hence as suggested better to enage a local labour law professional, submit a reply and comply.

Entrust the matter to a very able senior LOCAL counsel/law firm of unshakable repute and integrity and having proven successful track record and retain for handling such compliances matter and avoid non compliance errors in future..
