Under our own licence, or a PSARA-licensed partner agency — confirmed in writing before you sign

What is actually in Kochi

The state's largest district economy: Cochin Port and the Vallarpadam transhipment terminal, a refinery, fertiliser plants, a shipyard, an IT cluster at Infopark, Kakkanad, the Perumbavoor plywood cluster, and Fort Kochi tourism.

  1. Kakkanad is the district headquarters.

  2. Places in and around Kochi include Kochi, Kakkanad, Aluva, Perumbavoor, Angamaly, Muvattupuzha and Kothamangalam.

What that means for a guarding contract here

Refinery, fertiliser and LNG sites with hazardous-area access rules, port and SEZ gates, IT campuses running night shifts with staff transport, Perumbavoor plywood yards, and island sites at Vypin and Willingdon reached by bridge or ferry.

Kochi’s former name, Cochin, is still in wide use.

Whose licence covers your site in Kochi

PSARA is the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005. Under it each state issues its own licences to private security agencies, and a licence for one state does not cover a site in another. We confirm in writing, before you sign, which licence covers your site and which agency holds it.

Before you sign, we put in front of you, in writing, the licence covering your site in Kerala, ours or a PSARA-licensed partner agency’s, and the agency that holds it.

Due diligence

Common questions about a security company in Kochi

Is a PSARA licence from another state valid in Kerala?

No. Each state issues its own PSARA licences, so an agency licensed elsewhere does not hold a licence to operate in Kerala.

How can I check that a security agency deposits PF and ESI for its guards?

Ask for the monthly PF and ESI challans for the officers on your site, not a registration certificate. Premier Shield is a registered employer under the EPF and ESI Acts and also provides the monthly challans on request; where a PSARA-licensed partner agency’s officers are on your site, you receive that agency’s challans.

How long does it take a security company to deploy guards in Kochi?

Mobilisation is 7 days from a signed contract and replacement after attrition is 48 hours. Both are company standards, to which conditions apply, and your agreement sets them for your site. However, armed posts and K9 teams take longer, and we give you a dated plan rather than a promise.

Does your security company provide armed guards in Kochi?

When the site’s risk calls for it, subject to the arms licensing that applies to each post and to the PSARA licence covering the site. We confirm in writing, before signature, what applies.
