FSSAI License / Registration

Overview

Every food business in India needs an FSSAI registration or licence — manufacturing, processing, packing, storing, transporting, distributing or selling. It applies to a home kitchen and to a factory alike; only the category differs.

Which category you fall in follows turnover and activity: Basic Registration for the smallest, State Licence in the middle, Central Licence for larger operations, importers, exporters and businesses operating across states. Applying in the wrong category is the most common reason a file goes back, and the correction costs weeks.

The licence number on your pack is also a commercial asset — distributors, retailers and delivery platforms require a valid one before they will list you. We assess the correct category, prepare the application with the layout, water test and product details it needs, and handle renewals so the licence never lapses mid-trade.
