20 July 2025 Hey! To run a 3-star hotel business in Delhi, here are the key registrations and licenses you’ll typically need:

1. Business Registration
Since you’re a partnership firm based in Mumbai with a branch in Delhi, you need to register your firm’s branch in Delhi as per the local laws.
You can register the branch under Shop and Establishment Act (Delhi).
2. Trade License
Obtain a Trade License from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) or the relevant local body.
This license permits you to carry out hotel business legally.
3. Food Safety License (FSSAI)
If your hotel has food services/restaurants, register with FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India).
It’s mandatory for all food business operators.
4. Hotel Classification Certificate
For a 3-star rating, you must get your hotel classified and graded by the Ministry of Tourism through the Hotel and Restaurant Approval and Classification Committee.
This is necessary to officially use the “3-star” status.
5. GST Registration
Since hotel services are taxable, GST registration is mandatory.
Hotels with room tariffs above Rs. 1,000 fall under the 18% GST slab; below Rs. 1,000, 12%.
6. Fire Safety Certificate
Obtain clearance from the Delhi Fire Service ensuring the hotel complies with fire safety norms.
7. Environmental Clearance
If applicable, get clearance under the Environment Protection Act depending on location and size.
8. Liquor License
If you plan to serve alcohol, you need to get a liquor license from the state excise department.
9. Music License
If you plan to play music, get a license from PPL (Phonographic Performance Limited) and IPRS (Indian Performing Right Society).
10. Employee-related Registrations
Register under ESI (Employees State Insurance) and PF (Provident Fund) if you employ more than prescribed number of employees.
