Factory Licence & DISH approval for factories in Uttarakhand
If your unit is in Uttarakhand, the factory building plan is approved and the Factory Licence is granted by the Chief Inspector of Factories, Labour Department, Uttarakhand (Factories and Boilers division) — applications processed by the Assistant or Deputy Director of Factories by factory size under the Factories Act, 1948 and the state rules. Two stages, in order: plan approval before construction, then registration and the licence before operation. This page carries what is specific to Uttarakhand; the engineering of the submission — layout, exits, ventilation, welfare, the occupier’s duties — is on the complete Factory Licence & DISH guide.

What’s specific to Uttarakhand
Uttarakhand publishes its licence fee a year at a time through 2027, so the fee for a Pantnagar, Haridwar or Sitarganj unit depends on the year of application as well as on horsepower and workers — a detail worth checking before a multi-year payment. The 30-day SOP was re-issued in November 2025 with an escalation ladder, which is the mechanism to use if a complete file stalls.
