Municipal Trade Licence
Local body permission to operate a trade at your premises.
Overview
A trade licence issued by the municipal corporation or council permits a specific trade to be carried on at a specific address, ensuring the activity meets local health, safety and zoning norms. It is commonly demanded for food outlets, manufacturing units, clinics, salons and warehouses, and its absence can lead to sealing of premises. Jurisync files the application with your local body, coordinates inspections and delivers the licence.

What you actually pay
Two separate components: Jurisync's professional fee (fixed, shown below) and any government or statutory charge (billed at actuals, receipt shared with you).
| Jurisync professional fee | ₹3,999 onwards |
|---|---|
| Government / statutory charges | ₹1,000 – ₹10,000 (municipality and trade dependent) |
| Indicative timeline | 10–20 working days |
| Mode of delivery | Fully online across India — documents, approvals and final certificates through your Jurisync case workspace. |
Timelines depend on government portal processing and how quickly documents are provided; statutory approval always rests with the concerned authority.

Frequently asked
Is a trade licence the same as GST registration?
No — a trade licence is a local body permission for the activity; GST registration is a tax registration.
