FSSAI Registration & Licence
Basic registration, state licence or central licence for any food business.
Every food business — manufacturers, packers, traders, restaurants, cloud kitchens, home bakers and online sellers — needs FSSAI registration or a licence. From 1 April 2026, basic registration covers businesses with annual turnover up to ₹1.5 crore, a state licence covers ₹1.5 crore to ₹50 crore, and a central licence applies above ₹50 crore, along with certain activities such as import that always need a central licence. We determine the right category and file the application on FoSCoS.
Timeline: 7–30 working days | Government fee: Government fee depends on the category, activity and number of years chosen; billed at actuals.

Frequently asked questions
Which FSSAI category applies to me?
Turnover is the main test: up to ₹1.5 crore for basic registration, ₹1.5–50 crore for a state licence, and above ₹50 crore for a central licence, with some activities always requiring a central licence.
Do I need FSSAI to sell food on Amazon or Swiggy?
Yes. Marketplaces and delivery platforms require a valid FSSAI number, and it must be printed on labels.
