PSARA Licence
New and renewal PSARA licensing for private security agencies. Priced by state, quoted after review.
What this service is
A PSARA licence is issued under the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 and the corresponding state rules. Any agency supplying private security guards must hold a valid licence for the states it operates in.
Why it matters
PSARA is one of the most state-specific licences in India: fees, training tie-ups, police verification and documentation differ substantially. A quote before review would be guesswork, so we assess first and then price.
