Punjab Administration Cancels Licences of Two Immigration Firms in Mohali

Mohali, Punjab – The district administration announced the cancellation of licences for two immigration consultancy firms operating in the city. The move comes after a routine inspection that identified violations of the guidelines governing immigration services. Officials said the firms failed to meet mandatory regulatory standards, prompting the revocation of their operating permits.

The administration has not disclosed the names of the firms but confirmed that the action was taken to protect prospective migrants from unregistered or non‑compliant service providers. The cancelled licences will be formally recorded, and the firms are barred from offering immigration assistance until they obtain fresh clearance.

Authorities have urged other immigration agencies in the region to ensure full compliance with the state’s licensing framework. The crackdown underscores the government's intent to tighten oversight of entities handling overseas travel and employment facilitation.
