How to Renew Fire NOC in Uttar Pradesh: Process & Documents

# How to Renew Fire NOC in Uttar Pradesh: Process & Documents

A Fire NOC in Uttar Pradesh is valid for one year only. Operating with an expired NOC exposes your business to fines, closure, and serious legal liability. Here is everything you need to know about renewing your Fire NOC in UP.

Why Timely Renewal Matters

Operating with an expired NOC: * Fines from fire department (₹5,000 – ₹50,000+) * Forced closure notice * FIR in case of fire incident * Insurance claim rejection * Trade license suspension * Hotel star rating suspension

Start renewal 45-60 days before expiry to allow time for servicing, documentation, and inspection.

When to Renew

Start the renewal process 45-60 days before NOC expiry. Late renewals take the same processing time — don't wait until expiry.

Documents Required

1. Renewal application form (Form-B) 2. Previous year's Fire NOC (original or certified copy) 3. Updated equipment list with current service dates 4. Annual maintenance records / AMC certificate 5. Electrical inspection certificate (renewed annually) 6. Latest trade license 7. Updated building plan (if renovated since last NOC) 8. Staff fire training records 9. Fire drill records (date, number of participants)

Renewal Process

• *Step 1:** Service all fire safety systems — current service tags on all extinguishers, fire alarm system tested, sprinkler/hydrant pressure certified.

• *Step 2:** Prepare all documentation.

• *Step 3:** Submit renewal application at UP Fire Department office, Varanasi Division, with applicable fee.

• *Step 4:** Facilitate inspection if scheduled.

• *Step 5:** Renewal NOC issued within 10-21 working days if documentation is complete.

What If NOC Expired?

Apply for renewal immediately — even for expired NOCs. The UP Fire Department typically processes renewal applications, but may impose a late fee. Do not continue operating without addressing the lapse.
