What is a Factory Licence?

A Factory Licence is an official certificate issued by the Chief Inspector of Factories, Nagaland, under the Factories Act, 1948. It authorizes the occupier to operate the manufacturing unit 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 Nagaland Factories Rules. Applications are processed through the Nagaland Single Window Clearance System or the Labour & Employment Department portal. The state government offers various incentives to promote industrial development.
