PSARA License

Private security (PSARA) license is required for private security agencies who provide security services under the PSARA  Act, 2005.

Private Security agencies who provide security services including training of security guards need to be registered under the Private security agencies regulation act, 2005 (PSARA).

In 2005, the Parliament took note of the growth of private security agencies and enacted the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 in an effort to regulate the functioning of the same. No person can now operate a security agency without obtaining a license for the same, and a contravention of this stipulation entails a period of imprisonment for up to a year or a fine up to 25,000 rupees, or both. Even if an individual wishes to provide such services abroad, it must do so with the permission of the Controlling Authority, which would look for the Central Government's approval in such cases.

While the Parliament expressed appreciation of such businesses, it also highlighted the issues in their governance – faulty background checks, use of uniforms closely relating to the military, naval, air force or police uniforms, etc., Furthermore, the existence of Multinational security agencies, in the opinion of the Legislature, would need safeguards, which it put in the PSARA.

eStartIndia is the best legal and business services platform for services relating to PSARA license registration in India, offering a variety of registration services like Trade License registration, ISO certification, MSME registration, etc.

Compulsions:

Section 4 of the PSARA Act, 2005 explicitly states that no persons shall engage in the private security agency sector without obtaining a license for the same.

Section 20(1) describes the penalties for violation of Section 4, which are –

  • Period of imprisonment up to 1 year.

  • Fine up to Rupees 25,000/-.
