Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our services.
Which businesses require a Factory Licence under the Factories Act 1948?
Any premises where a manufacturing process is carried out with the aid of power and employs 10 or more workers, or employs 20 or more workers without power, is classified as a ‘factory’ and must obtain a licence under the Factories Act 1948. Specific processes may have additional licensing requirements under state factory rules.
What documents are required to apply for a Factory Licence?
Typically required documents include a site plan and building layout, list of installed machinery with horsepower ratings, details of the manufacturing process, ownership or lease documents for the premises, certificate of stability from a structural engineer, and the applicant’s identity and business registration documents. Requirements vary by state and are updated periodically.
How long does it take to obtain a Factory Licence?
Processing time varies by state authority. Most states issue licences within 30 to 60 working days of a complete application submission. SNGSPL prepares a complete, error-free application to minimise the risk of rejection or resubmission, which is the most common cause of delays.
What are the penalties for operating a factory without a valid licence?
Under Section 92 of the Factories Act, operating without a licence is a criminal offence attracting a fine of up to ₹2 lakh and up to 2 years imprisonment for the occupier. The factory can also be sealed by the inspector. Renewal after expiry attracts late fees and potential prosecution.
Does SNGSPL handle Factory Licence renewals and amendments?
Yes. We manage the full licence lifecycle — initial registration, annual renewal, and amendments for changes in machinery, power load, workforce strength, or premises. We track renewal deadlines proactively and initiate the process at least 60 days in advance to ensure your licence is never in lapse.
