What is a BBMP Trade Licence?
A BBMP Trade Licence is an official document issued by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) that permits individuals or businesses to carry out specific trade or commercial activities within the Bangalore municipal limits. It ensures that your business complies with local laws regarding safety, hygiene, and operational standards.
The BBMP requires every business operating in its jurisdiction—whether small, medium, or large—to hold a valid trade licence. Without one, your business could face legal penalties, fines, or even forced closure.
Why Do You Need a BBMP Licence?

- Legal Compliance: Operating without a BBMP licence is illegal. A valid licence ensures you’re in line with the law.
- Consumer Trust: Customers trust businesses that are authorized and licensed. It builds credibility.
- Health and Safety: The BBMP enforces rules to ensure your business maintains hygiene and safety standards.
- Avoid Penalties: Failure to secure a BBMP licence can result in fines or legal action.
