Punjab Food Authority license fee for marriage halls – Sept 2024
The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) is the regulatory body responsible for maintaining food safety standards across Punjab. PFA has established guidelines, procedures, and enforcement systems to ensure that food businesses, including marriage halls, adhere to the highest food safety and quality standards.
One of the critical requirements set by the PFA is the mandatory licensing of marriage halls. Any individual or organization operating a marriage hall in Punjab must obtain a license from the PFA by paying a designated fee.
The authority issues this license only after thoroughly reviewing all aspects of food quality, standards, and processes within the facility.
The Punjab Food Authority has streamlined the licensing process by introducing an online registration system, simplifying business registration. Applicants can now apply for their marriage hall license using a single online form, saving both time and effort.
Additionally, the online portal allows users to calculate the license fee by providing necessary business details such as business category, investment or stock position, average daily sales, rent, number of employees, location, and utility bills.
For instance, a marriage hall with an investment of up to Rs 3,000,000 and a seating capacity of over 75 people would be required to pay a license fee of Rs 50,000. Interested applicants can easily calculate the specific license fee for their business by visiting the PFA website and using the online form.
