A Fire Department NOC, commonly known as a Fire License, is an essential safety certification issued by the Fire Department after inspecting a building or establishment. It certifies that the premises are equipped with the necessary fire safety measures and comply with the safety regulations specified in the National Building Code of India and state-specific fire safety norms. A Fire NOC is mandatory for businesses, commercial buildings, high-rise apartments, industrial units, and public spaces before starting operations.
