Diwali firecracker licence: Apply by 28 October, fee Rs 600
The Story in Brief
Those seeking a temporary licence to sell firecrackers during Diwali must apply by 28 October. Applications in Form AE-5, with three copies, must be submitted to the judicial section of the district collector's office during office hours. No applications received after the deadline will be considered.
The licence fee is Rs 600, to be paid via a challan receipt attached to the application. Required documents include three passport-size photos, Aadhaar card or voter ID, a map of the proposed shop, and a no-objection certificate from the relevant municipal body or gram panchayat for the site's use.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 28 October deadline gives applicants just six days to gather documents, including a site-use NOC from a local body, which may take time to obtain. The three-copy requirement adds a bureaucratic layer that could delay submissions. The administration has ruled out accepting late applications, making the deadline final. For small vendors, the Rs 600 fee is a modest entry cost, but the paperwork burden may deter some applicants.
