What is a PSARA License?
A PSARA License is a mandatory authorization under the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005. It allows private security agencies to operate legally, train security guards, and provide services such as guarding, patrolling, and surveillance.
Without this license, running a security agency in India is considered illegal and can lead to penalties.
