Each licence carries the fee prescribed by the issuing authority, often linked to the size of the premises, workforce, investment or production capacity.
Key outcomes: all approvals the business needs to operate, in place before operations begin.
Forms & filings involved
Applications on the issuing authority's portal or the State single-window system, for example:
- Fire NOC from the fire department
- Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate from the State Pollution Control Board
- Contract labour registration and licence
- Factory licence and other sector permits
Documents required
- Business registration and PAN
- Premises ownership or lease documents and approved plans
- Details of activity, capacity, workforce and equipment
- Sector-specific documents as the authority requires
What we need from you
- A clear description of the business activity and premises
- State and local body where the business operates
- Existing licences and any notices received
Important conditions
Licence requirements depend on the activity, size and location, and change over time, so the licence map is confirmed with the issuing authorities before filing.
Operating before an approval is granted can lead to penalties, closure or sealing of premises.
Additional information
Many States now route business approvals through a single-window portal, which can track several applications together.
The estimated cost covers indicative professional fees only. Government fees, stamp duty and taxes are payable at actuals.
