What exactly is a PSARA License?

The license derives from the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 (“PSARA Act”). Under this law, any enterprise which wishes to provide private security guard services in India (these can include guarding, patrol, or surveillance) must obtain a valid PSARA license.

Not having a license in place may mean that the agency is operating illegally - with significant legal, reputational, or business sanctions.

PSARA License Registration Process – Step-By-Step Guide

Here’s a simplified view of doing the PSARA License Registration of course in India using the process we follow for our clients.

1. Check Eligibility & Business Structuring

Before applying, you should have a business structure (sole proprietor, partnership, LLP or private limited company) established. Also, check to make sure the key persons behind the company have clean background's and are eligible.

2. Gather All Documentation
Prepare all possible documentation you can provide.

• Company/firm registration (incorporation certificate, MOA or AOA if not applicable)
• Pan, GSTIN, PF/ESIC registrations where relevant
• Proof of office address, rent/electricity bill, logo/uniform details
• Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a training institute approved by the state
• Affidavit under section 7(2) of PSARA Act, police verification of directors or owners

3. Execute MoU with Training Institute

One unique requirement of PSARA is that the security agency must partner with a training institute approved by the state, for the purpose of training guards and supervisors.

4. File Application to State Control Authority

The application (usually Form-I for licence) is to be submitted along with the form of antecedent verification (Form-II) and an affidavit (Form-III), as per each states requirements.

5. Police/Background Checks 

After submission, the state authority will consult with local police to verify the background of the agency and/or its designated officers. 

6. Awarding of the License

After all verifications, documentation, and arrangements for training are confirmed, the authority will issue the PSARA license (also commonly referred to “Form IV license”). 

Typical turnaround is based on the state and it can be anywhere from ~60-120 days in most instances.

7. Post-License Compliance 

After you receive the license you must continue to maintain records, train your guards, renew your license when necessary (which is usually every 5 years), and adhere to compliance about operations.
