Factory Licence in Chhattisgarh
Chhattisgarh is
rapidly developing as an industrial state with strong presence in steel, power,
cement, mining, food processing, and agro-based industries. To set up or
operate a manufacturing unit, obtaining a Factory Licence is mandatory under
the Factories Act. This ensures safety, health, and welfare of workers.
My Online Vakeel provides expert legal and compliance services across Chhattisgarh (Raipur, Bhilai, Bilaspur, Durg, Korba, Raigarh, etc.). We offer complete end-to-end support for Factory Plan Approval, Registration, Renewal, and Amendments.
What is a Factory Licence?
A Factory Licence is an official certificate issued by the Chief Inspector of Factories, Chhattisgarh, under the Factories Act, 1948. It authorizes the occupier to operate the factory after verification of building safety, machinery installation, and worker welfare measures. The licence must be displayed prominently at the factory premises.
Legal Framework Governing Factory
Licence
The process is governed by the Factories Act, 1948 and the Chhattisgarh Factories Rules. Applications are processed online through the Chhattisgarh Single Window Clearance System (SWCS) and the Labour Department portal. The state has implemented several Ease of Doing Business reforms for faster approvals.

Factory Licence if your establishment qualifies as a “factory”:
