Trade involves passing products and services in exchange for cash, while manufacturing involves creating a product in a specific way. To launch a new business, a factory or trade license is required. These licenses enforce business regulations, ensure health risks, and ensure compliance with laws and safety guidelines. State governments establish rules for these licenses, and the municipal corporation issues them. Business owners must apply for a license before starting operations, which can take 15-30 days to several months depending on the state and type of industry.
The Factories Act, 1948, is the primary legislation governing factory operations in India. It regulates working conditions, safety measures, and welfare provisions for workers. Obtaining a factory license is a legal requirement for any manufacturing establishment meeting the criteria defined under the Act.
Factory License Registration is mandatory for any business involved in manufacturing, processing, or industrial operations in India.
Documents are grouped the way authorities review them — business details, premises documents, and compliance certificates.
