Hi,
I plan to sell my homemade cold process soaps ( yes! I make them myself at home). I already have a consumer trading license. Do I need to have a manufacturing license as well? What other legalities/formalities do I need to complete to sell my product? Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you.
P.S. A note about cold process soaps
Just as the name suggests, the cold process method of soap making does not require heat to create soap. With this method the lye, an essential ingredient in soap making, is blended with the oils/fats called for in the recipe in order to initiate saponification - the name for the reaction that forms soap from the combination of oils/fats and lye. After saponification, the soap is allowed to cure for several weeks to reduce its moisture content and then used.

IIf you manufacture the soap frpm any locality wthin the jurisdiction of KMC then you must obtain Trade License and other necesary certificate from Pollution Control Board speciaaly if the location is n any residential area.
You should immediiately apply for registration under Trademark Act for your trade name as well.

Thanks Devajyoti,
I already have the trade license. What I am unclear about is whether I need a manufacturing license for making and selling HANDMADE/HOMEMADE. Aren't there any concessions for home based industries?

It will come under small scale industries. You have to take license in that effect.

You can avail exemption from Registration with the Central Excise Authorities if you satisfy the conditions as prescribed in Notification 36/2001-CE (As amended from time to time.)
Please see the attached Notification.

you must be got the licience for some excemptions and subsidies from the government, so, better you go to district industries centres in concern district, they will guided you for further proceedings. Because your business is treated under small scale industries or self employment. So they will give proper guidence to you. Then you will got proper licence and proceed further. Wish you all the best.
