In Bangladesh, it is mandatory for all factories and establishments to be registered with the government in compliance with the Factories Act and Rules. Consequently, all mills in Bangladesh are required to obtain a Factory Establishment License. The responsibility of processing these licenses, as well as overseeing the establishment or expansion of factories, falls to the Department of Inspection for Factory and Establishments (DIFE) offices in various district.

DIFE is an independent government agency tasked with ensuring the security and well-being of workers in factories and other establishments across Bangladesh. In addition to its regulatory role, DIFE provides mills with information and training concerning employee health and the enforcement of labor laws in the country.

The government has facilitated the licensing process by offering online applications for establishments. The Labor Inspection Management Application (LIMA) has been introduced to streamline the application process for Factory Establishment Licenses. Currently, applicants can conveniently apply for, manage, and monitor their licenses through the LIMA portal, simplifying the entire procedure and making it more accessible.
