A factory license, governed by the Factories Act, 1948, is a mandatory registration obtained from the state government's labor department. It authorizes the operation of a factory that employs ten or more workers with power, or twenty or more workers without power. The license ensures worker safety, adheres to labor regulations, and promotes a safe working environment.
