Dear Mr. Jimmypathak1983,

As your company falls under the Factories Act, 1948, please refer to the Factories Act and act accordingly.

You are required to provide:

Security Requirements

For security, the agency should be registered with the Home Ministry (Police Commissionerate for running the Security Agency). Please provide clear guidelines regarding the dos and don'ts to the security guards. Instruct the security agency regarding the educational and physical qualifications of the security guards required. Select the posts and areas to be guarded and communicate your requirements of Guards to your management. After proper approval, instruct the number of security personnel required by the agency. Set the salary and ensure deductions for PF, ESI, and ensure the payment to the concerned authority regularly. Ensure the regular and timely payment to the Security Personnel deployed at your premises.

Let other members also place the guidelines to fulfill your requirements.

Thank you.
