The Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act mandates licensing for all security agencies in India. Learn what PSARA compliance means, why it protects your business, and what to look for when hiring a security agency in Chennai.
The Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 (PSARA) is the central legislation governing all private security agencies in India. Under PSARA, every security agency must obtain a state-level licence before deploying guards — and every guard must meet minimum training and background verification standards.
Engaging an unlicensed security agency exposes your business to serious legal risk. If an incident occurs involving an unlicensed guard, your organisation could face liability under the PSARA Act and related labour laws.
PrimeCare IFM holds valid PSARA licences in both Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. All our security personnel undergo a minimum 160-hour training programme covering physical security, fire safety, first aid, and emergency response before deployment.
When evaluating security agencies, always ask for their PSARA licence number, verify it with the state authority, and check whether guards carry valid identity cards. These are non-negotiable compliance requirements — not optional extras.
