Under the OSH Code, 2020 (in force from 21 November 2025), premises where 20 or more workers work with power, or 40 or more without power, on any day of the last 12 months are a factory and need a licence; hotels and restaurants are excluded. A factory with 10 or more workers must also register as an establishment within 60 days.
Who is the 'Occupier' under the Act?
The 'Occupier' is the person who has ultimate control over the affairs of the factory (usually the Managing Director, Partner, or Proprietor). They hold the legal responsibility for compliance.
How is the license fee calculated?
The license fee is calculated based on two main factors: The number of workers employed and The total installed Horsepower (HP) of the machinery. Fees vary significantly by state.
