Required Registrations for Starting a Watchman Service in Maharashtra

You need to register under the following Acts:

1. Mumbai Shops and Establishments Act, 1948
2. Maharashtra Private Security Guards Act, 1981
3. The Bombay Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1953
4. The Professional Tax Act

The above are some of the important Acts.
