Factory Licence & Plan Approval
A manufacturing unit needs its building plans approved by the factories authority before construction, and a factory registration and licence before production begins. Getting the plan right at the first attempt saves months of rework on site.
How the process runs
- 1
Plan approval
Site plan, building drawings, machinery layout and process flow are submitted for approval before construction or major alteration. Layout decisions on ventilation, exits, welfare facilities and hazardous areas are made at this stage.
- 2
Registration and licence
Once the building is ready, the occupier applies for registration and licence with the stability certificate, consents and other NOCs, and details of the occupier and manager.
- 3
Renewals and amendments
Licences are renewed on time and amended when the number of workers, the installed power or the manufacturing process changes.
The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 consolidates the Factories Act, 1948 and related laws. Applicability thresholds, forms and transition provisions depend on the central and Uttar Pradesh rules in force on the date of your application, so we confirm the current position at the start of every mandate rather than relying on older thresholds.
Documents typically required
- Site plan and building plans prepared by a qualified architect or engineer.
- Machinery layout, list of machinery with installed power, and a process flow chart.
- Ownership or lease documents for the premises.
- Stability certificate from a competent person, and pollution consent and fire NOC where applicable.
- Details of the occupier and factory manager.
Timelines in Uttar Pradesh
Factory plan approval and factory registration/licence are both notified Nivesh Mitra services with a 30-day timeline each, counted from a complete application. We prepare the file so that the department's single permitted query is avoided or answered quickly.
