Fire NOC renewal in 2026: how to renew a fire safety certificate in every state and UT

Updated By Flamekite Editorial DeskFacts checked against official sources on

Quick answer

To renew a fire NOC, file your state's renewal form on its fire portal before the certificate expires, with the old certificate, a declaration that nothing has changed and, in many states, an agency's maintenance or audit certificate. The fire service then inspects the building or accepts the declaration, and issues a renewed certificate.

The last date to file runs from 14 days before expiry in Tripura to 6 months in Delhi and Manipur. Renewal is free in Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand, Rs 2,500 in DNH and DD and 10% of the NOC fee in Assam. Filing late costs Rs 5 a day in Meghalaya and 25% extra in Andhra Pradesh, and an expired Assam NOC cannot be renewed at all.

How to renew a fire NOC: the seven steps every state shares

  1. Find your expiry and count back your state's lead time

    Read the issue date and term on the certificate, then count back: 30 to 14 days in Tripura, 1 month in Uttar Pradesh, Sikkim, Goa and Punjab, 45 days in Bihar and Nagaland, 2 months in Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat, 3 months in Chhattisgarh, 6 months in Delhi and Manipur.

  2. Test the systems before the fire service does

    Service the extinguishers, run the pumps and check alarms and detectors. Uttarakhand asks for the extinguishers' hydraulic pressure test certificate, and Gujarat's renewal form records 2 mock drills.

  3. Get the agency or audit papers first

    Where the state relies on agencies, their paper comes before the application: Tripura's Form B, DNH and DD's Annexure II with the AMC work order and quarterly service reports, Odisha's January and July audit certificates.

  4. File on the renewal service, not the new-NOC form

    Kerala runs a separate renewal portal; Goa uses service FES93, Odisha Form-VI, Bihar Form M, Uttar Pradesh Form A-11 and Manipur Form D1.

  5. Pay the renewal fee, if your state charges one

    Nothing in Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand, Rs 2,500 in DNH and DD and Tripura, 10% of the first fee in Assam, or the per m² rate again in Odisha and Bihar.

  6. Be ready for the inspection or the query

    Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Goa and Chhattisgarh renew after an inspection. Andhra Pradesh inspects in 5 working days and issues in 5; Kerala decides a renewal in 15 days.

  7. Download the renewed certificate and diary the next cycle

    Note the new expiry and the filings due before it: Form A-8 every January and July in Uttar Pradesh, Form A6 in Sikkim, the yearly Annexure A in Goa.

Fire NOC renewal documents, state by state

Fire NOC renewal without an inspection: audit, self-certification and auto renewal

At least 9 regimes now renew, or plan to renew, on paper from the owner or an agency instead of a fresh visit. Two offer nothing of the kind, and one has not started.

  • Audit-based

    Odisha

    Since 4 November 2025 the authorised officer may renew a certificate without a fresh application or inspection where an empanelled auditor's certificate went up every January and July. Odisha Home Dept

  • Self-certification

    Tripura

    Each yearly renewal rests on the owner's Form N or Form R, or an empanelled agency's Form B; buildings up to 10 m use the self-certified route from the first certificate. Directorate of Fire and Emergency Services, Tripura

  • Auto renewal

    Manipur

    EoDB Manipur lists Auto Renewal of Fire Safety Certificate beside the main service, with a 7-day stipulated time; the panel shows no document list and no fee. EoDB Manipur services

  • Not in force

    Tamil Nadu

    Act 37 of 2025 would let Category C buildings renew a self-certified protocol every 3 years and auto-generate a licence when officers miss the deadline, but it has no start date. Government of Tamil Nadu, Gazette Extraordinary No. 263, 6 June 2025

Odisha's 2025 rule that renews a fire NOC without a fresh application

Odisha is the clearest case of a renewal earned by audits during the term. Clause (c) of the new rule 9(14) says so in one sentence.

Word for word

(c) Where a building or premises or occupancy has been subjected to audit by an empanelled agency or auditor as per clause (b) the authorized officer may renew the Fire Safety Certificate without a fresh application for renewal and without requiring any fresh inspection.

Odisha Fire Prevention and Fire Safety (Second Amendment) Rules, 2025, new rule 9(14)(c); notification No. 45538/FS, 4 November 2025 Odisha Home Dept

Clause (b) is the condition: an audit certificate on Forms IV and IV(B), uploaded by the owner or an authorised auditor in January and July every year. Clause (d) is the fallback: premises without those audits file a fresh renewal on Form-VI with Form-III, 3 months before expiry, and pay Rs 1 or Rs 2 per m² again. The rule says "may", so the officer keeps the discretion to inspect.

One fire NOC renewal traced in Uttar Pradesh, from Form A-11 to Form A-13

Uttar Pradesh publishes every step and its portal counts the files, so it shows what a renewal looks like end to end.

  1. Form A-11, at least 1 month ahead

    The owner files online to the In-charge Fire and Emergency Service of the district, with a copy of the last certificate (Rule 45). UP Rules 2024

  2. Inspection

    Rule 45 follows the application with an inspection of the building before the certificate is renewed. UP Rules 2024

  3. The decision clock

    15 days under the Public Service Guarantee Act; section 27(1) of the Act says within a month. UP Fire dashboard

  4. What it takes in practice

    Renewals averaged 12 days on the UPF&ES dashboard, against 8 for a provisional and 11 for a final certificate. UP Fire dashboard

  5. Form A-13

    The renewed certificate, which states that it does not certify land use, ownership or legal status. No fee is charged. UP Rules 2024

  6. Until the next renewal

    Frame copies in corridors and lobbies (Rule 48) and file the Form A-8 self-declaration every January and July. UP Rules 2024

Fire NOC renewal fees: what each state charges to renew

Renewal is usually cheaper than the first certificate, and in 7 jurisdictions it costs the owner nothing at the fire service. The full fee tables are on the fire NOC fees page.

As published

No renewal fee was found for Delhi, Haryana, Karnataka, Manipur, Nagaland, Sikkim, Chandigarh, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh or Andaman and Nicobar. Agency and auditor charges are on top wherever an agency signs the file.

Missing a fire NOC renewal date: late fees, surcharges and refusals

Only a few states price a late renewal; others refuse it or attach other dues to it. Running a building on a lapsed certificate is a separate offence, set out on the penalties page.

A renewal sitting pending is not a renewed certificate. The Rituraj Hotel in Kolkata, where at least 14 people died on 29 April 2025, had a fire licence pending renewal since 2022, the state's fire chief said.

Renew or start again? When a fire NOC renewal is not allowed

Renewal assumes the same building, the same use and a certificate still in date. Break any of the three and many states send you back to a fresh application.

  1. If Your Assam certificate's printed date has passed

    The portal sends an expired NOC back to apply afresh, at the full fee. File Form XII before the date. Fire NOC Assam 2026 Fire and Emergency Services, Assam

  2. If You changed the use, or added or altered a floor, in Odisha

    Order 50908 cancels the certificate and bars its renewal; apply for a fresh one before the change. Fire NOC Odisha Order 50908 of 2019

  3. If You changed the use of a Tripura building

    Rule 11 of the 2026 Rules needs a fresh NOC with the full document set, not a renewal. Fire NOC Tripura 2026 Directorate of Fire and Emergency Services, Tripura

  4. If A floor's use changed between Gujarat renewals

    The Fire Safety Officer must reject the renewal on Annexure 6 and tell the RFO or CFO; get the change approved first. Fire NOC Gujarat Gujarat Fire Safety Compliance Portal

  5. If Your Mizoram provisional NOC was already renewed once

    No second renewal: fit the installations and apply for the final NOC. Fire NOC Mizoram 2026 Mizoram Home Dept

  6. If Your Mizoram provisional NOC was issued offline

    fsonline renews only provisional NOCs issued online; ask the Directorate how to renew it. fsonline Mizoram

  7. If A Jharkhand renewal is still pending

    The Single Window blocks a second renewal until the first is decided. Fire NOC Jharkhand JFS renewal SOP

  8. If You run a restaurant, guest house or banquet hall in Delhi

    These are outside the DFS renewal portal. DFS still links the MHA eating and lodging portal, but licensing reportedly moved from the Delhi Police to the local bodies in June 2025, so ask your local body. Fire NOC Delhi DFS

  9. If Your Chandigarh certificate was issued before May 2026

    It states 3 years and no extension order was published; renew on the printed date, applying 3 months ahead. Fire NOC Chandigarh MCC certificate 2023

Once a complete renewal file is in, most states must decide within 7 to 30 days. The lead times in the state table are longer because they leave room for an inspection and a query.

The limits below come from public service guarantee laws, citizen charters and single-window listings. They run from a complete application, so a query from the fire officer usually restarts or pauses the count. Real averages are often shorter: renewals took 12 days on average in Uttar Pradesh and 16 in DNH and DD.

Telangana's Citizen Charter promises a renewal in 14 days even though its own documents disagree on whether renewal is yearly or 5-yearly. Stage-by-stage timings for new applications are on the processing time page.

Six fire NOC renewals worked through, with dates and fees

Flamekite’s working from the official rules; no government publishes this figure.

Each case applies a state's published renewal rule to one building. The dates and sums are Flamekite's arithmetic from those rules.

  1. Case 1

    A Patna apartment block whose NOC ends on 31 March 2027

    Residential, 4,000 m² over all floors

    What applies Form M is due by 14 February 2027, 45 days ahead. At Rs 1 per m² the renewal costs Rs 4,000, and it issues on Form N after an inspection for another 5 years. BFS fee PDF

  2. Case 2

    A 22 m private hospital in Thiruvananthapuram

    Hospital below 24 m, non-hazardous

    What applies Renewal on the nocrnwl portal at Rs 12,000 a year. Taking the 5-year term costs 5 x Rs 12,000 = Rs 60,000 at once; a decision is due in 15 days. Home Department, Kerala

  3. Case 3

    A West Tripura college certificate expiring 17 January 2027

    Educational, issued after a Recommendation

    What applies File Form Q with Form R or an agency's Form B between 18 December 2026 and 3 January 2027, pay Rs 2,500, and the renewal on Form S runs 1 year. Certificate 2023/00064

  4. Case 4

    A Manipur hotel certified on 1 October 2026

    Non-residential, 3-year certificate

    What applies The term runs to 1 October 2029, and section 25(2) wants Form D1 in by 1 April 2029. Form D2 still prints 1 year, so read the term on the certificate first. Government of Manipur

  5. Case 5

    A 3-star hotel in Shillong renewing 20 days late

    Category A5 hotel, renewal fee Rs 2,000

Questions about fire NOC renewal

How do I renew my fire NOC?

File your state's renewal form on its fire portal before the certificate expires: Form A-11 in Uttar Pradesh, Form M in Bihar, Form I in Delhi, Form R on Goa Online. Attach the old certificate and any declaration or agency certificate the state asks for, pay the renewal fee where there is one, and pass the inspection if your state still inspects.

What documents are needed for fire NOC renewal?

Usually the old certificate, a declaration that nothing has changed, and proof that the systems were serviced. Punjab asks for only 3 papers: ownership proof, ID and the old NOC. Uttarakhand adds the extinguishers' hydraulic test certificate and a treasury challan; DNH and DD the AMC work order and quarterly service reports.

What is the last date to apply for fire NOC renewal?

It is set by your state, counted back from the expiry: 6 months in Delhi and Manipur, 3 months in Chhattisgarh, 2 months in Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat, 45 days in Bihar and Nagaland, 1 month in Uttar Pradesh, Sikkim and Goa, and between 30 and 14 days in Tripura. The renewal date calculator works it out for your certificate.

How much does fire NOC renewal cost?

Nothing in Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh. Elsewhere it ranges from Rs 200 for a Mizoram provisional NOC and Rs 2,500 in DNH and DD and Tripura to a per m² rate in Bihar and Odisha, 10% of the first fee in Assam and Rs 2,500 to Rs 12,000 a year in Kerala.

Can an expired fire NOC be renewed?

Sometimes, at a price. Meghalaya renews with a late fee after 7 free days and Andhra Pradesh with 25% extra. Assam does not renew an expired certificate at all: you apply afresh at the full fee. Meanwhile the building has no valid certificate.

Can fire NOC renewal be done online?

Yes in most states. Kerala has a separate renewal portal, Odisha and Bihar run renewal services on their fire portals, Delhi opened an online renewal portal in November 2025, and Manipur lists an Auto Renewal service on EoDB. Himachal Pradesh accepts renewals only online.

Is an inspection needed to renew a fire NOC?

In Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Goa, Chhattisgarh and Lakshadweep, yes. Odisha renews audited premises without one, Tripura renews on self-certification or an agency's Form B, and Gujarat's private Fire Safety Officer inspects instead of the fire service.

How long does a fire NOC renewal take?

Most states must decide within 7 to 30 days of a complete file: 15 days in Kerala and Uttar Pradesh, 10 working days in Andhra Pradesh, 30 days in Uttarakhand. Uttar Pradesh renewals actually averaged 12 days.
