据印度时代报道，印度南部科钦的纳库林地区有超过1500台电梯设备在营运中，而其中只有841台有电器检验部门颁发的、有效期内的许可证。根据现行法规，电梯业主应当支付约31美元的费用，由一名电梯检验员对电梯的电气系统和安全系统进行检验，并获取首次电梯许可证，而后期只需支付约半价的费用进行检验。除此之外，电气检验部门对于没有许可证的电梯业主无计可施。然而，一旦发生电梯事故，电梯业主的承保公司必然不会为其买单。

　　VT LICENSES LAG IN SOUTHERN INDIA DISTRICT

　　Of the more than 1,500 vertical-transportation (VT) conveyances operating in the Ernakulam district of Kochi in southern India, only 841 have up-to-date licenses from the Electrical Inspectorate, The Times of India reports. As per current law, property owners must pay approximately US$31 for an inspector to examine a lift's electrical system and safety gear to obtain a first-time license, with the fee about half that for a renewal. Other than issue notices, there is not much the inspectorate can do about property owners who lack licenses. Should a person become injured on an unlicensed unit, however, the property's insurer will not pay the claim.
