What this covers

Anyone who manufactures, processes, stores, transports, distributes or sells food needs an FSSAI licence — restaurants, cloud kitchens, home bakers, packaged food brands, importers and even e-commerce food sellers.

Which licence depends on scale: Basic registration up to ₹12 lakh turnover, a State licence between ₹12 lakh and ₹20 crore, and a Central licence above that or for importers and multi-state operators.

We work out the right category, file the application with the layout and product details required, and handle inspection queries.

How we handle it

Right category, first time

Applying for the wrong tier means rejection and reapplication. Turnover, activity and geography decide it.

Documentation prepared

Product list, unit layout, water test report and equipment list assembled to the format the department expects.

Inspection support

State and Central licences usually involve an inspection. We prepare you for what is checked.

Renewals calendared

Licences run one to five years. We track the expiry and file the renewal before it lapses, since a lapsed licence means fresh application.

Documents you will need

  • PAN and identity proof of the proprietor, partners or directors
  • Constitution proof — incorporation certificate, deed or registration
  • Premises proof — rent agreement or ownership document
  • Layout plan of the processing unit, for manufacturers
  • List of food products or categories handled
  • Water test report from a recognised laboratory, for manufacturers
  • List of equipment and machinery with capacity
  • Food safety management plan

  2. 2Compile product, premises and technical documents
  3. 3File the application on FoSCoS with fees
  4. 4Respond to queries and support the inspection

Frequently asked

Do home bakers and cloud kitchens need a licence?
Yes. Basic registration is enough at small scale, and marketplaces like Swiggy and Zomato will not onboard you without an FSSAI number.
How long is a licence valid?
One to five years, at your choice at the time of application. Renewal must be applied for before expiry — a lapsed licence cannot be renewed and requires a fresh application.
What happens if we operate without one?
Penalties up to ₹5 lakh under the Food Safety and Standards Act, and immediate delisting from delivery platforms and retailers.
