FSSAI Registration and Food Licence Application Support

Choose the food-safety registration or licence that fits your activity and premises. TaxQue helps review the food-business category, locations and application information before preparing the agreed FoSCoS submission. Share what you make, sell, store, transport or import so the correct route can be assessed.

The application and document list depend on the business category and current FSSAI criteria. Confirm the premises covered, licence type, official charges and query-response scope before purchase. Approval, inspection requirements and processing time remain with the authority; other local business permissions may also apply.

What is FSSAI License Registration?

FSSAI registration or a State/Central licence is required for food business operators according to the food activity and current eligibility criteria. FoSCoS classification may depend on the kind of business, scale, turnover, capacity, location and other activity-specific conditions.

FSSAI License Registration

Classify the food-business activity: Describe the actual operations and premises rather than selecting a licence only from a turnover figure.

Prepare category-specific documents: Match the applicant, premises and operational records to the current FoSCoS checklist.

Plan post-licence responsibilities: Licence conditions, modifications and applicable annual returns remain separate obligations after approval.

Confirm category and rules on FoSCoS

The live FoSCoS eligibility for the exact food activity controls. Turnover bands do not override kind-of-business or capacity requirements. FSSAI may scrutinize, inspect, seek clarification or impose conditions. Do not treat perpetual validity as an exemption from food-safety compliance.

FSSAI Licence Validity, Fees and Continuing Duties

FSSAI’s 2026 reforms changed validity and turnover categorisation. Check the current FoSCoS status and official instructions for the applicant’s approval: do not assume that every pre-existing approval or pending application follows the same transitional route.

Threshold

FSSAI Category and Eligibility (Effective 1 April 2026)

FSSAI classification is based on the activity and current FoSCoS eligibility. For new applications from 1 April 2026, the revised turnover bands are: Registration up to ₹1.5 crore; State licence above ₹1.5 crore and up to ₹50 crore; Central licence above ₹50 crore. Activity-specific kind-of-business or capacity criteria may result in different requirements, so verify the exact activity in FoSCoS. FSSAI’s FAQs state that licences/registrations issued on or after 1 April 2026 have perpetual validity unless suspended, cancelled or surrendered. This does not remove hygiene, food-safety or other ongoing obligations.

Eligibility

Who Needs FSSAI Registration or a Licence?

Food business operators generally need FSSAI registration or a licence for food manufacture, processing, storage, distribution, transport, import or sale, unless an exemption or special deemed-registration rule applies. The exact approval route is determined by the activity and current FoSCoS criteria.

1Eligibility depends on activity and scale

  • Select the correct kind of business and food activity in FoSCoS; category can depend on the activity, turnover, capacity and other criteria.
  • For new applications from 1 April 2026, the general turnover bands are registration up to ₹1.5 crore, State licence above ₹1.5 crore to ₹50 crore and Central licence above ₹50 crore.
  • These bands do not replace activity-specific criteria. FSSAI-registered street vendors may be deemed registered under the amended rules; verify the statutory conditions and hygiene duties.

FSSAI Registration vs State and Central Licence

For new applications from 1 April 2026, FSSAI revised the general turnover thresholds. Always confirm the exact kind-of-business eligibility and portal outcome because activity-specific criteria may apply.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about FSSAI License Registration

Under Section 31 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, EVERY Food Business Operator (FBO) involved in manufacturing, processing, packaging, storing, transporting, distributing, catering, or selling food items (including restaurants, cloud kitchens, retail grocery stores, bakeries, food trucks, and e-commerce sellers on Swiggy/Zomato) must obtain an FSSAI License or Registration before commencing business.

(1) Basic FSSAI Registration is for small food businesses with annual turnover up to ₹1.5 Crore. (2) State FSSAI License is for medium-sized operations with annual turnover above ₹1.5 Crore and up to ₹50 Crore (or production capacity up to 2 MT/day). (3) Central FSSAI License is mandatory for large enterprises with annual turnover exceeding ₹50 Crore, 100% export-oriented food units, importers, and food businesses operating in 2 or more states.
