What Is a Signage or Advertisement Licence?

A Signage or Advertisement Licence is a permission from your local municipal body to put up a signboard, hoarding, banner, LED screen or any other display that can be seen by the public. It is also called Advertisement Permission, Hoarding Licence or Display Licence.

The reason for this rule is public safety and city planning. A badly built board can fall, block the road view or distract drivers. The municipal body checks the size, place, design and safety of the display before it gives the permission.

CA Arpit Gupta helps shop owners, brands, advertising agencies and event organisers get advertisement permission and renew it on time.

Who Needs a Signage or Advertisement Licence?

You may need this licence if you plan to display any of the following:

Note: The rule for each type is set by the municipal body of the city. In many cities, even a shop's name board needs permission or must be reported for the advertisement tax.

Why Is Advertisement Permission Important?

• You avoid the removal of your board and penalties
• Safety checks reduce the risk of accidents from falling boards
• Landlords, neighbours and officers have no reason to object
• You can promote your brand at the right place without fear
• Advertisers prefer boards that are properly approved
• An approved board stays for the licence period without sudden removal

What Rules Do Municipal Bodies Usually Apply?

The rules differ by city. These are the common points:

• A fixed size and height limit for boards
• A minimum distance between two hoardings
• No boards that block the view at traffic junctions or roads
• No boards on heritage sites, certain public places or near some institutions, as per the city rules
• Safe distance from electric wires and poles
• Safety and strength of the structure, with periodic checks
• Rules for lighting and brightness of lit boards
• Limits on flex and temporary banners in public places
• Fee based on the size of the display and the zone of the city
