Understanding Factory and Contract Labor Licenses

If I understand the question correctly, if you have your employees working in someone’s factory as contract workers, you do not need a separate factory license. However, you will need a contract labor license.

If you have leased the place where your employees are working, and the work is independent of the main factory, then you probably need a separate license.

Factory License Requirements

A factory license is needed if you are undertaking a manufacturing activity with the aid of power and have 10 or more workers, or otherwise 20 or more workers.

In any case, the occupier of the factory premises must obtain a factory license, subject to the above preconditions.
