"C" License is the License given by each Indian State Government's Chief Electrical Inspector to Government (CEIG) to eligible persons authorising them to work on High Voltage Electrical Installations. This is a mandatory requirement as per Rule No. 3 of the Indian Electricity Rules, 1956.

Eligibility conditions are specified by individual CEIG Offices. You may contact them in the respective State CEIG Offices. You can try the following link:

But, be sure about one thing. If you are a "C" License Holder, it implies that you are fully aware of all the 143 Indian Electricity Rules. But, in practice, even without knowing a single IE Rule, one can get the "C" License in India, just because you fulfill the eligibility conditions (viz.) a certain Degree or Diploma withe a certain years of experience in electrical installations and remitting a certain License Fees.

I had applied for & obtained my "C" License, after 22 years of experience in electrical installations, only and only after ensuring that I am fully aware of most of the IE Rules. Even though I was eligible only after two years of experience.
