In India, a fishing licence is an official permit required for commercial fishing activities in various water bodies across the country. The licence is issued by state fisheries departments and is mandatory for operating fishing vessels and engaging in commercial fish harvesting.
The application process involves submitting required documents, paying prescribed fees, and complying with specific regulations set by the respective state government. Different types of licences are available based on the scale of operation and fishing methods used.
Indian fishing licences help in monitoring and regulating fishing activities to ensure sustainable practices and conservation of marine resources. They also assist in maintaining records of fishing operations and preventing illegal fishing practices in Indian waters. |
