Dear Deepak,
It depends upon the nature of the change. The license issued under the Factories Act or any other similar law of regulatory nature is basically permission granted to use a particular premises for a specific purpose subject to certain norms. Therefore, when there is a cosmetic change like a change in the door/site number, the name of the street, or the name of the enterprise, amendments can be carried out accordingly. However, if the change contemplated is consequent to the shifting of the entire unit to another place/address, the existing license has to be surrendered, and a new license has to be applied for.

The applicable Factories Rules prescribe the situation wherein an amendment of a factory license is needed. Speaking with reference to Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh Factories Rules, such an amendment in the Factory license is mandated when the limit of maximum B.H.P. installed on any day or the maximum number of workers engaged is exceeded, or effects any change in the name of the factory. If the change in address contemplates a change in the name of the factory, then the application for an amendment along with prescribed fees has to be deposited for the amendment of the license.

Any changes are happening (change of occupier, manager, capacity, or address change) should be notified to the appropriate authority. Accordingly, the license needs to be amended. It is presumed that an application in Form II should be made to notify the change. If you do not notify the change, there may be consequences regarding where to send the notice and communication. This is a legal requirement, so the rules of your State Factories Act must be followed. It is, therefore, suggested to contact your factory inspector or their office to ascertain the process.

Dear Mr. Deepak,
Your question does not elaborate on the reasons for the change of address. It is presumed that you are shifting your factory from one location to another. Consequently, you have to surrender your present factory license. Thereafter, you have to apply for a license together with the factory plan to the jurisdictional authority under the Department of Factories & Boilers.
