Dear All,
I need your help to know about Pasara License. I am working with an IT company. One of our vendors has to obtain Pasara License, which they have not yet obtained. I want to know what exactly Pasara License is and the procedure to obtain it.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Prashant ji,
There is a correction to your answer. Exemption and PASARA licence are two different things.
PASARA licence is granted under the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act 2005. This is a Central Act which is enacted to provide for regulation of private security agencies. This licence is granted by Police Authorities at the district level (for one district or for five districts) or at the state level.
On the other hand, exemption is granted under Section 23 of the Maharashtra Private Security Guard (Regulation of employment & welfare) Act 1981. It is permission to employ guards through a private agency. This section provides for registration with the Security Guard Board.
In Maharashtra, both PASARA licence and exemption are mandatory. The objective of both enactments is the same, and provisions under both enactments are mandatory.

Hi Mr. Keshav,
You are absolutely correct. However, having dealt with the complete process of PASARA and exemptions under Section 23, I have the opinion that:
PASARA Act - being the central Act - emphasizes more on scrutinizing the agency and its employees for safety against antisocial/antinational elements entering into this business as an agenda of national security. While the Maharashtra Private Security Guard (Regulation of Employment & Welfare) Act 1981 emphasizes more on the fulfillment of welfare related to security guards.
Further to add my personal view - it is also viewed as a revenue-generating tool for the government. Nevertheless, both acts are mandatory to be abided by. However, over the years, I, being in this industry, find that obligations stated in these acts for principal employers are not being understood properly, and business objectives are held on priority than security.
Request your views, please.
Thanks,

Dear Bijay ji,
Thank you very much for distinguishing between both the enactments correctly.
Like many enactments, PASARA is also not being implemented in full swing. This enactment of 2005 is not known to many till now. The incident which took place at Mannat, in which a security guard was killed, brought this enactment to light for the first time in late 2006, to my knowledge.

Dear Keshav ji,
Thanks for your time.
Coming back to the subject, I have always wondered that despite having such good provisions of legislation for the welfare of private security guards, the security business, in my view, has not gained much dignity and respect. What is your opinion?

Dear Keshav Ji,
Thank you for the Mumbai board notification. However, I need the DA notification issued by the Pune District Security Guard Board. Also, I would like to know if Sangli District has a Guard Board. If it does, may I have the latest rate structure, if any.
Thanks,
Warm regards,
