Our licence, and who comes
Electrical work in a home must be done by a licensed contractor's people. Here is our licence, exactly as printed, and how to check it.

Under the CEA Safety Regulations 2023 (Regulation 31), electrical work in a home, including repairs, must be done by a contractor licensed by the State, supervised by a certificate holder and carried out by a permit holder. Changing a bulb, fan, switch or fuse without altering the wiring is the exception.
And our plumbers?
Tamil Nadu has no state licence for plumbing inside a home, so no honest plumber can show one. What ours have instead: one-year ITI Plumber training or the Skill India Plumber (General) certificate, and one of them is on Coimbatore Corporation's list of licensed plumbers for water and drainage connections. We don't call ourselves "government licensed plumbers".
