Home › Industries › Manufacturing & MSME
Manufacturing units face the deepest compliance stack in India — Factories Act, Pollution Control Board (Red/Orange/Green by category), BIS / ISI for products, EPF / ESI for workforce, fire NOC, electricity connection, factory licence. Plus state-specific incentives (TANSIDCO Tamil Nadu, MIDC Maharashtra, KIADB Karnataka). FilingLab handles end-to-end factory setup from the first land lease to the first product roll-off.

What\'s unique about Manufacturing & MSME
Pollution NOC tier
Industries are Red/Orange/Green by potential. Red category (high polluting — chemicals, dyeing, leather) needs both CTE + CTO with effluent treatment. Green is self-declared.
BIS hallmark / ISI mark
Mandatory for 100+ product categories — packaged water, cement, electrical appliances, toys. NABL-accredited lab testing + factory inspection.
Factory Act compliance
Required for any unit with 10+ workers (with power) or 20+ (without). State Labour Department license. Annual renewal.
PF & ESI for workforce
PF: 20+ employees. ESI: 10+ with salary ≤ ₹21,000. Both deducted monthly. Most factories cross both thresholds quickly.
CPCB classifies industries into Red (high), Orange (medium), Green (low), White (negligible). We map your specific product code to the category.
BIS is the body, ISI is the mark BIS issues. Same thing in everyday usage.
