Do you need a PSARA-licensed agency to hire security guards in Tamil Nadu?
Short answer
Yes. Under the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005, only an agency holding a PSARA licence from the state Controlling Authority may supply private security guards. A general manpower or housekeeping licence does not cover guards. Ask for the licence number, check it on psara.gov.in, and confirm it covers Tamil Nadu.
How do I check a security agency's licence?
- Ask for the PSARA licence copy, with its number, validity and the state that issued it.
- Check the state-wise list of issued licences on psara.gov.in.
- Confirm that the licence covers Tamil Nadu. A licence from another state does not automatically allow deployment here.
- Ask how guards are trained and police-verified, as the Act and state rules require.
