The Private Security Agencies Regulation Act (PSARA), 2005 is the central legislation governing all private security agencies in India. Under this Act, every security agency is mandatorily required to obtain a Psara licence from the Controlling Authority of the respective state before deploying security personnel.
A Psara licence is your assurance that the security agency you are engaging has been background-verified, meets the government's training standards, and is legally accountable for the conduct of its security guards. It protects you, your employees, and your assets.
Whether you plan to provide guards to a small office in Lajpat Nagar, a housing society in Dwarka, a shop in Karol Bagh, or a factory in Noida, understanding Psara is an important first step.
A PSARA licence is an authorisation issued by the relevant state or Union Territory authority to run a private security agency. It is issued under the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005.
The licence helps ensure that a security agency follows the rules for hiring, training, and managing security guards. It also sets standards for the way agencies provide security services to their clients.
For example, imagine you want to start a company that supplies guards to offices in South Delhi. A business registration alone does not replace the Psara licence. You must also meet the rules that apply to private security agencies in the area where you plan to operate.
The key point: If your business provides private security guards or security services covered by Psara, you generally need a Psara licence before starting operations.
King Securitas holds active, government-issued Psara licences for Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh - enabling us to legally deploy trained security personnel across the entire Delhi NCR region and beyond.
Delhi
Our Delhi Psara licence authorises King Securitas to provide Licenced security guard services across all zones of the National Capital - including Central Delhi, South Delhi, North Delhi, East Delhi, and West Delhi.
Haryana
Our Haryana Psara licence enables us to provide licensed security services across key cities including Gurugram (Gurgaon), Faridabad, Manesar, Sonipat, and surrounding industrial corridors.
Uttar Pradesh
Our Uttar Pradesh PSARA licence covers eligible security operations in major cities across the state, subject to the licence conditions, including Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Agra, Kanpur, Meerut, and other major UP cities.
A security guard may be the first person a visitor meets at an office, apartment building, hospital, or factory. Clients trust that guard to help keep people and property safe.
A valid Psara licence helps show that your agency is meeting the legal rules for this work.
For a new agency, getting the right approvals early is much easier than trying to fix compliance issues after signing a client.
Engaging an unlicensed security agency exposes your business to legal liability. A Psara licence is proof of government-approved training, background verification, and regulatory compliance.
Every guard deployed by a PSARA-Licenced agency undergoes criminal background verification by the government before being registered.
Psara mandates structured training programs covering physical fitness, legal awareness, first aid, and emergency protocols.
A Licenced agency is answerable to the state's Controlling Authority, ensuring transparent grievance redressal and service accountability.
Corporates, government offices, and MNCs are often required by procurement policy to engage only PSARA-licensed security vendors.
Licenced agencies are required to maintain adequate insurance for their personnel, protecting your organisation from third-party claims.
Psara compliance ensures security guards receive fair wages, proper working hours, and statutory benefits as per Indian labour law.
You generally need a Psara licence if you plan to run a business that provides private security guards or related private security services.
For example, a company that supplies guards to housing societies in Rohini or office buildings in Connaught Place must check the licensing rules that apply to its business.
The same applies to agencies working in Gurugram, Faridabad, Noida, and Ghaziabad. These locations fall under different state or Union Territory rules. A licence for one area does not automatically allow you to work across every state.
With Psara licences across Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, King Securitas can legally deploy security guards in the following locations and more.
Psara stands for the Private Security Agencies Regulation Act, 2005. It is a central government law that regulates all private security agencies in India. The Act makes it mandatory for every security agency to obtain a state-issued licence before deploying security guards. Operating without a Psara licence is a criminal offence.
