PSARA Licensed Holder Security Company in India
Bombay Integrated Security (India) Ltd. (BIS) is a PSARA licensed security company operating across India, with valid licenses issued under the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 in multiple states and union territories. Established in 1976 and operating through 57 branches nationwide, BIS has maintained continuous statutory compliance for decades — a record few security providers in India can match.
This page lists our current PSARA licenses, along with our other statutory registrations, so that clients, auditors, and partners can independently verify our compliance status before engaging our services.
What Is a PSARA License?
A PSARA license is the mandatory registration required under the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 for any company that wants to legally provide private security guard services in India. It is issued by the Controlling Authority of the respective state or union territory — typically a senior police official designated for this purpose — and confirms that the agency has met the Act's requirements around ownership eligibility, guard training standards, verified antecedents of personnel, and financial capacity.
Operating without a valid PSARA license is a criminal offence under the Act. For a client hiring security personnel, engaging a non-PSARA-licensed provider carries real legal and liability exposure — including exposure if an unlicensed guard is involved in an incident on the client's premises.
Why a PSARA-Licensed Security Company in India Matters
- Legal compliance: A valid PSARA license confirms the agency is authorized to deploy armed and unarmed security personnel in that state, under police-verified supervision.
- Verified personnel: PSARA licensing requires character and antecedent verification of every guard deployed, reducing the risk of hiring unvetted individuals.
- Liability protection: Clients who engage a licensed agency are shielded from the legal exposure that comes with using unregistered or informally contracted security labour.
- Operational accountability: Licensed agencies are subject to periodic renewal and inspection, which sustains service standards over time rather than at a single point of hiring.
