Everything you need to know about municipal licensing in Delhi.
MCD (Municipal Corporation of Delhi) is the civic body governing Delhi. It issues various licenses including Health Trade License (for food and health businesses), Shop & Establishment registration, and industrial approvals. MCD covers all 12 zones of Delhi — Central, South, North, East, West, and others.
MCD license is Delhi's version of a Trade License. While other cities issue trade licenses through their respective municipal bodies, MCD handles this for Delhi. The Health Trade License under MCD is specific to food and health-related businesses operating in the national capital.
MCD has 12 zonal offices. Your zone depends on your business premises location. We identify the correct zonal office and handle all filings accordingly. Filing in the wrong zone can delay your application significantly.
Operating without MCD license can lead to sealing of premises, fines up to ₹25,000, prosecution, and business closure. MCD regularly conducts drives to identify unlicensed businesses. We strongly recommend obtaining your license before starting operations.
Yes, MCD Health Trade License typically needs annual renewal. Shop & Establishment registration may have longer validity. Renewal requires submission of compliance documents and fee payment. We provide automated renewal reminders and handle the complete renewal process.
Yes, home-based food businesses in Delhi need MCD Health Trade License along with FSSAI registration. The process is similar — we assess your kitchen setup, prepare documents, and file with the concerned MCD zonal office. We also help with FSSAI and DPCC if needed.

Shop & Establishment registration is for all commercial establishments employing 10+ people, covering working hours, wages, and employment conditions. Many businesses need both — Health Trade License for the nature of business and Shop & Establishment for employment compliance.
