PSARA Compliance for Agencies
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
In India, a private security agency works under one main law: the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005, known as PSARA. Each State makes its own rules under it, based on the Private Security Agencies Central Model Rules, 2020. An agency that gets PSARA wrong can lose its licence, and a client that hires an unlicensed agency takes on the risk too.
Guards learn the basics of PSARA in unit 2C (India Duty Basics). This module is for the people who run an agency, or who buy guarding for a client: what the licence needs, what records the regulator can inspect, how guards must be checked and trained, what changed in 2026, and how to handle information that police and clients ask for.
Focus: keep the licence valid, keep the records the law asks for, put only verified and trained people on duty, and share information only in a controlled way.
This module is general knowledge. It is not the training that PSARA requires for agency owners, guards or supervisors, and it is not a PSARA certificate. Always check your own State's rules, which can differ from the model rules described here.
