Dear Sunil Jangra,
If your nature of business is different from the business that was carried out earlier in the factory you have rented, you have to submit a fresh plan giving details of the machinery layout, factory dimensions etc.,
Based on the plan the factories inspector will approve the plan.
If you are continuing the same business then you need to revalidate the plan by changing the occupier's name etc and seek license.

  • Dear Sir,
    The building plans are necessary, as the act provides that the place should meet safety aspects.( one most being whether emergecy exists have been provided or not),OR if there is a mezzanine floor what is height etc. Even you will have to submit the stability certificate for that building. iN ABSENCE OF THESE, he may look forward for a heavy SEWA.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The information provided in the user reply is partially correct. Building plan approval is indeed necessary for obtaining a factory license, ensuring safety aspects are met. However, the mention of "heavy SEWA" is not clear. It could be a typographical error. Kindly review that term for accuracy.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-[response] It is necessary to pay the fee cess for rented premises as well, regardless of who paid it previously. Compliance is required.

  • Dear Vipin,

    In my opinion, the cess under BOCW Cess Act is to be paid by the owner of the building who has constructed the building and has given it to you on rent. If they have already paid, then why would the labor department ask you to pay?

  • Sir,

    We purchased a factory building in 2009, and the building was constructed before 2006. The occupation certificate was issued in December 2006. Neither the previous employer nor we have paid any cess.

    Now, we want to pay the cess. When I proceed to file for the calculation for the cess, they asked for registration under the BOC Act.

    My question is, do we need to register our building under the BOC Act, considering the building was constructed more than 5 years ago? Or should we directly pay the cess?

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply contains inaccurate information. In this case, registration under the BOC Act is necessary for paying cess even if the building was constructed before 5 years. Registration is mandatory for compliance.

  • Hi,

    If you are going to carry out the same business with the same structure and also if the previous employer had a building plan, you can just go for a name change, and then you can apply for your factory license.

  • Sir,

    They were not running any business or paying any cess. Now, we want to pay cess. My question is, for CESS assessment, do we need to register under the BOC Act for the building that was constructed in 2006 with no construction till now.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-[The information provided in the user reply is incorrect. In order to pay cess and register under the BOC Act, building plan approval is necessary, regardless of whether the previous employer had obtained it. Constructing a building without approval can lead to legal issues. It is advisable to comply with building plan approval requirements before proceeding with cess assessment.]

  • We have rented another factory for manufacturing the same product that we have in our existing factory. The question is, what do we need to do as far as the Factory Act is concerned? The factory owner (landlord) has a license for the manufacturing until Dec-15.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply needs clarification. In India, the factory license is required under the Factories Act, irrespective of the landlord having a license. You should apply for a new factory license for the rented premises.

  • Sir,

    I have taken a factory on rent that was closed earlier (no production is done). I want to change the name of the factory, but there is an issue regarding the change in name due to the industrial area of the government. Please guide me on how I can change the name of the factory.

    Thank you.
