Overview

About This Service

Every food business operator in India, from a home kitchen to a manufacturing plant, must hold a valid FSSAI licence or registration. The category depends on annual turnover. Following the Food Safety and Standards Amendment Regulations notified in March 2026 and effective from 1 April 2026, Basic Registration now covers turnover up to โ‚น1.5 crore, a State Licence covers โ‚น1.5 crore to โ‚น50 crore, and a Central Licence applies above โ‚น50 crore as well as to importers, exporters, and businesses operating across multiple states. This revision moved a large number of small vendors and home-based businesses into the simpler and cheaper Basic Registration category.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which FSSAI category applies to my business?
From 1 April 2026, Basic Registration covers annual turnover up to โ‚น1.5 crore, State Licence covers โ‚น1.5 crore to โ‚น50 crore, and Central Licence applies above โ‚น50 crore. Importers, exporters, and multi-state operators need a Central Licence regardless of turnover.
Is FSSAI required for a home-based food business?
Yes. Every food business operator needs at least a Basic Registration. With the revised threshold most home kitchens and small caterers now fall within Basic Registration rather than needing a State Licence.
How long is an FSSAI licence valid?
You can choose a tenure of one to five years. Renewal must be applied for at least thirty days before expiry, otherwise a late fee of โ‚น100 per day applies.
What is the penalty for operating without a licence?
Operating without a valid licence can attract imprisonment of up to six months and a fine of up to โ‚น5 lakh under the Food Safety and Standards Act.
Do I need to display the FSSAI number?
Yes. The 14-digit licence number must be displayed at your premises and printed on all food packaging and, for online sellers, on the listing page.
