Security Services FAQ

Everything clients ask us before, during and after hiring. If your question is not here, the control room answers 24x7.

Hiring & Pricing

How much does a security guard cost per month in Mumbai in 2026?

An unarmed 8-hour guard starts at about ₹19,000 to ₹21,000 per month including PF, ESIC and weekly-off relievers. A 12-hour duty is roughly 1.45 times that. Supervisors, lady guards, bouncers and armed gunmen are priced higher. The calculator on this site gives an instant estimate; a site survey gives the final quote.

Is there a minimum contract period?

Monthly contracts are typically 11 months with a one-month notice on either side. Short-term and event deployments have no lock-in beyond the booked days.

What is included in the monthly rate?

Guard wages as per Maharashtra minimum wages, PF, ESIC, bonus provision, uniform, weekly-off reliever, supervision and our service charge. GST at 18% is extra. There are no hidden deductions from the guard, which is why our attrition is low.

How many guards do I need for 24-hour coverage?

One post covered 24 hours needs 3 guards on 8-hour shifts or 2 guards on 12-hour shifts. Two gates need double that. Add a supervisor for sites with 6 or more guards.

Do you offer affordable security services for small societies and shops?

Yes. Single-guard day or night postings, shared night patrols for shop clusters and 12-hour-only cover are priced to suit small societies, clinics and shops without cutting statutory compliance.

Guards & Training

How are your guards selected and trained?

Candidates submit identity, address and police verification, pass a physical and basic literacy check, and complete our induction on access control, visitor handling, fire safety, first aid and client-specific SOPs. Ex-servicemen are preferred for armed and supervisory roles.

Do you provide female security guards?

Yes. Lady guards are available for malls, hospitals, schools, hostels, offices and events, and female PSOs for close protection. Night postings for lady guards include supervisor check-ins and transport.

What languages do your guards speak?

Marathi and Hindi are standard. Guards posted at corporate receptions, hotels and premium residences are selected for working English as well.

What happens if a guard is absent?

The site supervisor arranges a reliever within hours. If no reliever reports, the shift is credited back on the invoice. Clients are never billed for an empty post.

Compliance

What is PSARA and why does it matter?

The Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act 2005 requires every security agency to hold a state licence, verify and train its guards, and maintain records. Hiring an unlicensed agency exposes the client to liability. Seal Security holds a valid Maharashtra PSARA licence.

Are PF and ESIC paid for the guards?

Yes. All guards are on our rolls with PF and ESIC contributions, and monthly challans are shared with clients who ask for them. This is also what protects the client from contractor-liability claims.

Can you provide armed guards legally?

Yes. Our gunmen hold valid arms licences and we maintain the weapon, ammunition and deployment registers required under the Arms Act and PSARA rules.

Operations

How quickly can guards be deployed?

Standard unarmed posts in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai within 24 to 48 hours, often the same day for emergencies. Armed guards within 48 to 72 hours after a site check. Large deployments of 20 or more within a week.

Do you supervise the guards after deployment?

Every site is assigned a field supervisor who visits unannounced, checks registers and grooming, and is the client's single point of contact. Night supervisors cover Mumbai and MMR.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Mumbai from Colaba to Dahisar and Mulund, the full MMR including Thane, Navi Mumbai, Mira-Bhayandar, Vasai-Virar, Bhiwandi and Kalyan, and major Maharashtra cities including Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Kolhapur and Shirdi.

Can you provide guards for a single day or event?

Yes. Event guards, bouncers and temporary guards are available per 8-hour shift with a one-shift minimum, bookable on short notice.
