Foreword
I am delighted to note that commensurate to our vision statement
of giving an efficient, effective, transparent and quality service to the
citizens, the Licence Department has prepared this book which has
been aptly named “Trade Licence Demystified”. Our legacy of
obfuscated procedures, mystified modalities of fixation of rates and
thereby creating an atmosphere where the common citizens faced
harassment. Our continuous endeavour is to have a paradigmatic shift
in Corporation tax-payers interface by introducing simple procedures.
It is imperative that any tax structure should be simplified and
comprehendible by a man of ordinary prudence. Mitigation
of
bureaucratic procedures would encourage citizens to be more and more
tax compliant and it has been our motto to reduce the rate and widen
the net. Keeping in conformity with the said motto, we have this year
reduced the trade licence rates and over the past few years have
simplified the procedures and has tried to put in place an objective tax
structure.
I hope this book shall pave the way to lift the veil of secrecy and
obfuscation in the entire Trade Licence Department. We always assure
the citizens of providing best of our services and we stand by our
commitments
to
give
an
effective,
efficient
and
transparent
administration.

Message
We are pleased to know that the new formatted trade licence schedul e is
being issued. Over the years there has been an increased demand for newer,
advanced and an up -to-date schedule.
In keeping with these demands and the proactive -ness of the Corporation’s
departments, we are now ready with the new schedule. The task f or bringing out
this schedule has not been an easy one. The various departments and the
personnel concerned have put in a painstaking effort to make this possible. It is
one more example of KMC’s initiative bearing the desired result.
We do hope that this schedule would provide an impetus to the trading
communit y within Kolkata. Our unstinted and never -ending support to the
citizens of the cit y drives us to reach for higher goals in all our endeavours.
Member, Mayor-in-Council (Licence)
Preface
Over the years, it has always been the endeavour of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation to provide
value-added services to the citizens of this city. We have been constantly upgrading the facilities we offer in
such a way that the common man can also comprehend the same. It is in this context that we are introducing
a number of practical and customer-friendly measures in one of the most important departments within the
Corporation - that of the Licence Department.
For the first time within the annals of the Licence Department, the process of computation of licence
for any particular trade has been simplified to a large extent. The reason for this being that even a common
man of ordinary prudence can comprehend himself the process of computation of demands for issuance of
any new C.E.S as well as for its renewal without any external assistance. It has been felt by us that any
person should be able to easily comprehend the assessed demands for new C.E.S/renewal that the whole
licensing system which includes issuance of new licences, renewals, etc. as introduced in the budget schedule
of 2004-05 should meet the aspirations and expectations of the business community as well as the small
traders of Kolkata.
There has also been a demand for the pruning of unnecessary schedules and it is keeping this in
mind that we have slashed the schedules of over 700 traders to 167. Traders having similar characteristics
have been clubbed together to simplify the whole process. Schedules have been streamlined and the past
tendency of charging different rates for a same or identical nature of trade at different offices of KMC is
avoided. New trades, which have sprung up, have also been included in the schedules for the first time.
Inherent anomalies as evident in the method of assessing charges U/S 419, 421, 435 and P.F.A on
the basis of rent have been removed with the introduction of charges being assessed on the basis of area
which is a new concept in this year's schedule. The rates for this year have been rationalized after we have
received the views of different sections of traders. We sincerely hope that all traders will enlist their trades
voluntarily to avoid prosecution U/S 580 & 620 of the KMC Act of 1980.
We do believe that these steps will go a long way in simplifying the processes involved and the
grievances of the traders will be met to a large extent. We look forward to a constant feedback from all of
you to ensure that the systems are in place for us to serve you better.

closing of business / cancellation of demands and for obtaining Certified copy of Trade
Licence
Chief Municipal Auditor’s Circular No. 1 of 2004-2005 dated 13-07-2004
For smooth running of the operations related to Renewal of Certificate of Enlistments (Trade
Licence) and for better maintenance of the Licencee Database, procedures related to the matters
mentioned below for the Licencee whose Demand has been raised from Special Cell for renewal
through Banks will be as follows:
1.
CORRECTION: Any erroneous information, printed in the Demand Notice, will be corrected
exclusively at the Special Cell of Head Quarter so that digitized data are rectified on-line. No other
personnel at any of the Location Office will be doing this. For correcting erroneous information printed in
the Demand Notice, the Licencee will be required to bring the current year’s Demand Notice and the
previous year’s Certificate of Enlistment (Trade Licence), both in original. Corrections involving change in
Demanded Fees Payable must be done before payment of the same.
2. CHANGE: Change of any information of a Trade/Business with respect to its identification or
nature will be according to the following manner:
The Licencee will apply in a plain paper enclosing photocopies of all supporting documents and
the photocopy of the last Certificate of Enlistment (Trade Licence) at the Location Office where the Ward
of his last Licence belonged.
In case of any Change other than Address, the application receiving office will scrutinise the
application and execute spot inspection, if required. Finally, the case will be recommended to Licence
Officer (HQ) in a prescribed form enclosed, completely filled in, whether the Change can be done or not.
In case of Change of Address, three different situations may arise.
Situation-1 (New Address belongs to the Old Ward): In such situation, concerned WardInspector will confirm non-existence of the said business in the old Address and existence of the same in
the new Address. Finally the case will be recommended to Licence Officer (HQ) in the prescribed form
enclosed, completely filled in, whether the Change of Address can be incorporated.
Situation-2 (New Address belongs to another Ward within the jurisdiction of the
application receiving office): Ward-Inspector of the old Ward will pass on the application to the WardInspector of the new Ward, along with all enclosures submitted by the applicant, after confirming nonexistence of the said business in the old Address and filling in the first part of the prescribed form
completely. Ward-Inspector of the new Ward will, after making necessary inspection at the new Address,
send the application to Licence Officer (HQ) in the prescribed form, filling in the second part completely
(the first being already filled in) and appropriate remarks whether the Change of Address can be
incorporated.
Situation-3 (New Address belongs to a Ward outside the jurisdiction of the application
receiving office): Ward-Inspector of the old Ward shall send the application to Licence Officer (HQ),
along with all enclosures submitted by the applicant, after confirming non-existence of the said business
in the old Address and filling in the first part of the prescribed form completely. Licence Officer (HQ) will
then send it to the appropriate office in whose jurisdiction the new Address belongs. This office will then
execute all necessary scrutiny and spot inspection and finally send the file back to Licence Officer (HQ)
after filling in the second part of the prescribed form along with appropriate remarks and clear
recommendations.
The Licencee will have to contact Licence Officer (HQ) to know the fate of his application. If it is
recommended to make the “Change” applied for be incorporated, Licence Officer (HQ) will arrange to
collect all necessary fees* following the Schedule in effect and update the database. Otherwise, Licence
Officer (HQ) will let the Licencee know with reason that the Change applied for cannot be incorporated.
*If it is found that the assessed fees payable, after incorporating the “Change” applied for, are
more than what it was previously, the Licencee will be bound to pay the excess amount. On the contrary,
if the assessed fees, after incorporation of the “Change”, are less, no adjustment/refund will be made
as the Licencee has already enjoyed the status before the “Change” during some part of the year.
3.
CLOSING OF BUSINESS: In case any Licencee wants to close the business in the current
financial year and does not want any Demand Notice to be raised in the next financial year, application
for such must be received at the concerned Location Office latest by 15th of April of the next financial
year along with a photocopy of Certificate of Enlistment (Trade Licence) of the current year. Any
application for closing of business, received after 15th of April of the next financial year, will have to clear
the demand for that financial year. Applications for closing of business in original along with the
enclosures must reach the Special Cell latest by 20th of April of the next financial year.
4.
CANCELLATION OF DEMANDS: In case any demand raised in a financial year is found
out to be BAD for some reason or other, recommendation to cancel that demand must reach the Special
Cell well before generating the demand for next financial year. Such recommendation must have
Demand No. & Reason for Cancellation along with signature of concerned A.L.O./ D.L.O.
5.
CERTIFIED COPY OF TRADE LICENCE: Certified copy of a Certificate of Enlistment
(Trade Licence) of a particular year should be given from the concerned Location Office from where it
was originally issued. ONLY the certified copies against the Demands, renewed through Banks, will be
available from the Special Cell.
The procedures described above are to be followed from immediate effect. All the Location
Offices are requested to cooperate with the Special Cell in the matters described above and in other
matters, not mentioned here but the officials feel fit, so that the Licencee Database is maintained
properly.
