Overview
What is trade license?
A trade license is a document which gives one the permission to start working on a particular trade for which the license is issued. It is confined to the permission given in the license and doesn’t give one the permission to go outside the license to trade something else.
The license is issued by the license department which is used to issue the license with collaboration with the other departments such as Health, Estate, Fire Brigade, Engineering etc
Before beginning to exchange, manufacture and store goods it is very important to issue the license from the license department for the same. The license should be applied for 3 months before starting the actual manufacturing process.

Documents required for a municipal trade licence
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
Trade licence process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 7
Identify your municipal authority
Trade licences are issued by the municipal corporation or municipality covering your area.
Fill the application
Provide the business name, address, trade type, and owner details.
Upload premises and ID proofs
Attach the lease deed, owner NOC, and applicant ID proof.
Pay the fee
Fees depend on the trade type, premises area, and employee count, and vary by municipality.
Inspection if required
Certain trades and municipalities require a site visit before approval.
Licence issuance
Typically 7-15 working days. Display the licence at your premises.
Renew annually
Most municipal trade licences are valid for one financial year and must be renewed annually.
For NRI founders & foreign investors
If a founder or investor is outside India
You don't need to fly down. Most of our foreign-founder incorporations are completed without the founder ever visiting India — 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors, and the entire process happens online.
Before you start
- 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors — no Indian partner needed
- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing early
After incorporation
- Receive funds through permitted banking channels
- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting (FC-GPR, FLA) and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early
