Dear ,

I appreciate your participation. Factory license and factory permit are statutory obligations. Whereas registration under SSI or MSSI is, according to me, not statutory. The main purpose of registration under SSI or MSSI is to maintain statistics and a roll of such units for the purposes of providing incentives and support services.

There is another enactment called The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006. The object of this enactment is to facilitate the promotion, development, and enhancing the competitiveness of micro, small, and medium enterprises and for matters connected therewith or incidental. Under this Act, a micro or small enterprise or a medium enterprise engaged in providing or rendering services may file the memorandum to the authority at discretion.

I am not an expert in this area, but I tried to share the knowledge that I have.

If it is clear that you employ 10 or more workers in a day (24 hours) and use power for any manufacturing activity, you need to register under the Factories Act. There are certain judgments from the High Court and Supreme Court. If needed, I can share them with you.

For registration under the Factories Act, it is immaterial whether it is an SSI unit or not. The latter depends on investment, whereas the former depends on the number of employees employed. Therefore, you should get Factory Registration.

In some industries, like chemical, paints, etc., the number of employees to make it obligatory to get a Factory license is even less than 10.
