As per the data of the National Bureau of crime record, India&#8217;s crime rate rose steadily by 3% in 2017-2019. Despite several measures, the crime rate in India sees no obstacles and thrives seamlessly. This is a rising concern for people who resides in metropolitan areas where the crime rate is incredibly higher. At present, police authorities are struggling to cope with the prevailing crime rate; and that&#8217;s where private security firms come into the picture. Legally, in India, any firm that seeks to work as a security firm is required to avail of a <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/psara-license\"><strong>PSARA license in India<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Appointing security guards at\nyour establishments serves as an obstacle to potential delinquents, whether\nprivate or public, wholesale or retail building. Trusted security from\nPSARA-licensed agency can be very reliable. Thus, with the growing demand of\nprivate security firms in India, the license under the Private Security Agencies\nRegulation Act, 2005 is a compulsory requirement for a firm to offer\nsecurity-related services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Page Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/documentations-fees-and-process-for-psara-license-in-india\/#What_is_PSARA_and_why_it_is_Mandatory_for_Security_Agencies\" >What is\nPSARA and why it is Mandatory for Security Agencies?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/documentations-fees-and-process-for-psara-license-in-india\/#Guidelines_to_be_followed_by_Security_Agencies_under_PSARA\" >Guidelines\nto be followed by Security Agencies under PSARA<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/documentations-fees-and-process-for-psara-license-in-india\/#Tasks_to_be_Performed_for_the_Obtainment_of_PSARA_License_in_India\" >Tasks to be\nPerformed for the Obtainment of PSARA License in India<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/documentations-fees-and-process-for-psara-license-in-india\/#Cost_Pertaining_to_PSARA_license_in_India\" >Cost\nPertaining to PSARA license in India<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/documentations-fees-and-process-for-psara-license-in-india\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_PSARA_and_why_it_is_Mandatory_for_Security_Agencies\"><\/span>What is\nPSARA and why it is Mandatory for Security Agencies? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Private Security Agencies\nRegulation Act, 2005 (aka PSARA) regulates and administers the private security\nsector in India.
