Trade License
Municipal trade licence for shops, offices, restaurants, and warehouses
Here is the full trade license process, end to end — every step and who handles what. Knowing the sequence up front helps you keep documents ready and avoid the back-and-forth that delays most filings.
How It Works
- 1
Identify Applicable Municipality
Trade licences are issued by the local municipal body (e.g., BMC in Mumbai, BBMP in Bengaluru, NDMC in Delhi). We identify the right authority for your address.

Application Preparation
We prepare the application with the nature of trade, premises details, owner ID, and rental/ownership proof.
- 3
Online or Physical Filing
Application is filed online (where available) or physically at the municipal office with the prescribed fee.
- 4
Inspection
The municipal inspector may visit the premises to verify the business activity matches the applied licence category.
- 5
Licence Certificate
The Trade Licence Certificate is issued and must be displayed at the premises at all times.
