One of the many problems faced by entrepreneurs was difficulty in submission of Form-A for obtaining final fire approval and Form-B in a month of January & July in case of renewal of fire approval.
MIDC now has categorized units based on constructed area. So for low-hazard units built-up area less than 3000 meters & height less than 15 meters:
1] fire officer attached to local MIDC Fire Station should carry out inspection as per the check-list and ensure the availability of fire protection systems as per provisional fire approval and record the observations in writing reasons of non insisting the approved license agency and issue final fire approval or renewal, as the case may be.
2] At the time of renewal, Form-B should not be insisted.
