Private Security agencies who provide security services including training of security guards need to be registered under the Private security agencies regulation act, 2005 (PSARA).
In 2005, the Parliament took note of the growth of private security agencies and enacted the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 in an effort to regulate the functioning of the same. No person can now operate a security agency without obtaining a license for the same, and a contravention of this stipulation entails a period of imprisonment for up to a year or a fine up to 25,000 rupees, or both. Even if an individual wish to provide such services abroad, it must do so with the permission of the Controlling Authority, which would look for the Central Government's approval in such cases.
