PSARA licensing in West Bengal

Premier Shield Private Limited
PSARA licence, West Bengal
Confirmed in writing before you sign
Issuing authority
State Controlling Authority, West Bengal
Deployment
Under our own licence, or a PSARA-licensed partner agency — confirmed in writing before you sign

What is actually in Kolkata

The state capital: banking and insurance around BBD Bagh, the Burrabazar wholesale trades, courts and state offices, a cluster of private and government hospitals, and on the river the Kidderpore and Netaji Subhas docks.

  1. Places in and around Kolkata include BBD Bagh, Park Street, Burrabazar, Shyambazar, Maniktala and Bhowanipore.

What that means for a guarding contract here

Corporate and bank headquarters, courts, hospitals, hotels, malls and the Burrabazar wholesale blocks, plus dock and warehousing estates at Kidderpore and Taratala. The difficulty is density, not distance: gate and visitor control, cash movement, crowded streets with nowhere to stand.

Kolkata’s former name, Calcutta, is still in wide use.

Whose licence covers your site in Kolkata

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 West Bengal, ours or a PSARA-licensed partner agency’s, and the agency that holds it.

Security company guarding for sites in Kolkata

Due diligence

Common questions about a security company in Kolkata

Is a PSARA licence from another state valid in West Bengal?

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

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 Kolkata?

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 Kolkata?

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.
