The licence under the Factories Act 1948 is mandatory before commencing manufacturing with the prescribed worker headcount.
Registration enforces health, safety and welfare provisions, protecting workers and limiting employer liability for accidents.
Form 1 for plan approval, Form 2 for registration and Form 4 for licence are processed comprehensively.
