What is a Factory Licence?
A Factory Licence is an official certificate issued by the Chief Inspector of Factories, Bihar, under the Factories Act, 1948. It legally permits the occupier to use the premises for manufacturing activities after verification of building safety, machinery, and worker welfare measures. The licence must be displayed prominently at the factory.
Legal Framework Governing Factory
Licence
The process is governed by the Factories Act, 1948 and the Bihar Factories Rules. Applications are processed online through the Bihar Single Window Clearance System (SWCS) and the Labour Resources Department portal. Bihar has made significant improvements in Ease of Doing Business rankings through digital reforms.
Who Needs a Factory Licence?

Licence if your establishment meets the definition of a “factory”:
10 or more workers
employed with the aid of power, or
20 or more workers

This applies to manufacturing, processing, repairing, or any industrial activity.
