Getting Private Security Agency License in Delhi
Private Security Agencies are the
organizations involved in offering security services, such as security guard
training to any business or industrial undertaking or any person or property or
a company. In a private security agency, the operations are governed by “The
Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005. We will cover the procedure
to start a security agency in this article.
The Private Security Agencies Act
(PSARA), 2005 governs all the operations of private security agencies across
India. The Act is applied to the whole India, except Jammu & Kashmir.
Assigning a Controlling Authority in States
The Act designates an officer for each
of the state not below the rank of Joint Secretary in Home Department of the
State or similar officer to be Controlling Authority. He is liable to issue PSARA license for Delhi,
regulation and renewal of operation of security agencies.
Along with it, the Act empowers State
Government to make rules to conduct provisions of the Act. Hence, most of the
states have assigned the rules of Private Security Agencies to discharge the
State Government responsibilities effectively under the Act.
Getting PSARA License
According to the Act, no one can start
or operate a private security agency unless they obtain the private security
license. Along with it, getting the permission of Controlling Authority for the
State is mandatory for a private security agency to offer services out of
India. For this permission, they need to consult the Central Government. Every
person should be licensed in India to start a security agency.

association or persons can get security agency license. If agency is the
