What is a PSARA Licence in Punjab?
Across Punjab's thriving commercial hubs—including Ludhiana's industrial estates, Amritsar's hospitality sector, Mohali's IT parks, and Jalandhar's manufacturing units—demand for private security guards, bouncers, cash van escorts, and industrial supervisors is rising rapidly. However, operating a private security agency without a valid PSARA License is a punishable offense under Section 20 of the PSARA Act, 2005.
The licensing framework mandates that agency directors undergo character verification through district police and electronic databases like CCTNS/ICJS. Agencies must also sign an MoU with an approved Security Guard Training Institute to ensure guards complete mandatory physical and security training before deployment.
