Planning to start or operate a factory, or engage in contract work within industrial premises?

At Account Wale, we assist manufacturers and contractors in getting these crucial registrations quickly and compliantly.
What is a Factory Licence?
A Factory Licence is a legal permit issued by the Department of Factories & Boilers under the Factories Act, 1948. It is mandatory for any premises where:
- 10 or more workers are employed with the use of power, or
- 20 or more workers are employed without power
The licence ensures the safety, health, and welfare of workers and that the factory adheres to prescribed standards.
What is a Contractor Registration Certificate (RC)?
If you’re a contractor supplying manpower (skilled/unskilled) to factories or industrial units, you must obtain an RC (Registration Certificate) under the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970. This RC legally permits you to operate as a registered contractor for supplying labour to principal employers.
