Can you post the inline VF and outside VF code ?– karthikselvaFeb 25, 2016 at 10:54

I can think of 4 options:
- Create a validation rule for new records.
- Use a Before Insert Trigger. Either of these two will cause the fields to become required.
You can also add code to the inline VF fields to apply the required attribute before the page can be saved.
Finally, if wrapped in a form tag, you can use the features from something like the jQuery validation plug-in that won't allow it to "submit" until those fields have been completed.
Since you've not provided code, those are the best options I can think of that would apply to the situation you've presented.

@AdrianLarson #3 would be my choice as well, but many people like smorgasbords. ;) Feb 25, 2016 at 15:10

Yes. It is absolutely possible. You can make use of required attribute on text fields which will make the fields mandatory.Please find the screenshot which shows my test implemented inline contact's VF page where I have made Home Phone mandatory.
