FSSAI stands for the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, which regulates food safety across India.
It is mandatory for all food business operators (FBOs) to register or get licensed before operating.
This ensures hygiene, consumer protection, and legal compliance under the FSS Act, 2006.
Anyone involved in the production, processing, distribution, sale, import, or export of food must obtain FSSAI approval.
This includes home kitchens, cloud kitchens, retailers, wholesalers, and exporters.
The type of license (Basic, State, or Central) depends on turnover and scale.
Basic Registration is for businesses with turnover up to ₹12 lakh/year.
State License is for turnover between ₹12 lakh and ₹20 crore within one state.
Central License is for businesses above ₹20 crore or operating in multiple states or engaged in import/export.
The processing time depends on the license type and completeness of documents.
Basic Registration takes about 7–10 working days, while State and Central licenses may take 15–21 days.
Inspections or clarifications can cause delays, which we track and assist with.
Key documents include identity proof, address proof, passport-size photo, business constitution certificate, and proof of premises.
For higher licenses, you also need a food safety management plan, water test report, layout, and equipment list.
We help prepare all supporting documentation in the correct format.
No. FSSAI licenses are issued for 1 to 5 years depending on your selection during application.
They must be renewed 30 days before expiry to avoid penalties or re-application.
We send proactive renewal reminders and assist with quick renewals.
Yes, once you receive your license number, you're allowed to display the FSSAI logo and number on food packaging and promotional materials.

Unauthorized use without a valid license is punishable under law.
Absolutely. Platforms like Zomato, Swiggy, and Amazon require an active FSSAI license to onboard food businesses.
It is also mandatory for listing your food items on e-commerce platforms.
Central License is typically needed for national delivery operations.
Operating without a valid FSSAI license can attract a penalty of up to ₹5 lakh and product seizures.
Repeated violations can lead to closure of business and imprisonment.
Timely registration and compliance prevent legal trouble and ensure customer safety.
Yes. Even if you're selling food from your home kitchen (e.g., tiffin services, cake baking), you are considered an FBO under the FSS Act.
You must obtain Basic Registration to operate legally and grow your business.
We help streamline this process with easy online steps and document support.
