Responsible authority / service scope
Maharashtra DISH: applicable factory registration and licensing service.
Eligibility & Applicability
- Units within the current factory-registration/licensing provisions, including any special activity-specific coverage.
- Establish the legal occupier, manager, premises and sanctioned particulars; check plan approval and existing permissions first.
Application / Transaction Process
- 1Assess legal coverage and hazardous classification using current notified requirements.
- 2Review the plan-approval position and create the business/unit profile on the accepted service.
- 3Submit occupier, manager, power, process and workforce particulars with the current application and conditional evidence.
- 4Address scrutiny and departmental queries; download the decision and review licence conditions before operating.
Documents & Information to Prepare
Indicative checklist; include conditional items only where applicable. The authority or transaction adviser confirms the final requirements.
- Signed current application, photograph/signature and authorised signatory details where requested.
- Ownership, lease or MIDC allotment records and approved-plan references.
- Manufacturing process, products, employment and installed-power particulars.
- Entity constitution and occupier nomination/board resolution as applicable.
- Existing approvals and hazard-related information requested for the unit.
Important Conditions
- The OSH Code commenced on 21 November 2025. Maharashtra departmental pages still contain legacy forms and draft-rule material; confirm the currently notified state requirements and live filing route. Do not apply old worker thresholds or draft rules as settled law.
- Registration does not establish that all separate operating permissions are satisfied. A conditional licence is not unconditional clearance.
Practical guidance, not an approval or eligibility determination. Requirements vary by activity, location, applicant role and current rules. Confirm the live authority checklist before filing; fees, timelines and incentives are not guaranteed.
