Banquet Hall setup — questions answered
Which licence matters most for a banquet hall?
Fire NOC on assembly-occupancy norms — capacity certification, exits and systems. It's the licence enforcement checks after any incident, and the one that can close a venue. Aidwish designs it in from the start.
How much to start a banquet hall?
Leased-format halls run ₹60 lakh–2 crore in fit-out; owned-land builds are real-estate-scale projects. Off-peak programming decides annual profitability.
