Is it compulsory to employ Security Guards under the Board?

Not compulsory to recruit Security Guards through Guard Board. But ensure that the agency through which you engage Guards are exempted agency under the Act & which complies all minimum requirement of Guard Board.

Dear Ashutosh ,
Under the Security Board Act you are supposed to take Guards from them only .( Guard Board ) .
a) Just see their Standard .
b) Their Salary Structure .
c) Work Discipline .
d) Once you employ them it is difficult to terminate like Private Security Agencies .
Therefore ,
Discuss with Security Agency who are exempted under the Act ,& take care of Govt. Agency .
Regards

Dear Ashutosh,
It is not compulsory to have Guard board security for the organisation but you need to go for the registered security agency only. The security agency which you are trying to close for your organisation should have a proper registration under security guard board and they must adhere to all norms and rules laid down by the guard board.
There are many security agencies you may found in Mumbai but they all are not registered or exempted security agencies. Thus you need to follow proper documentation process before going further for any contract with any security agency.
