FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) registration or license is mandatory for anyone involved in the food business — from home bakers and restaurants to food manufacturers, importers, and distributors. Operating a food business without FSSAI registration is a punishable offence with fines up to ₹5 lakh.

There are three levels: Basic Registration (turnover up to ₹12 lakh), State License (turnover ₹12 lakh–₹20 crore), and Central License (turnover above ₹20 crore, importers, multi-state operations). The appropriate level depends on your business scale and activities.

Our team determines the right license level for your food business, prepares the application with complete documentation, and follows up with FSSAI to ensure your registration/license is issued promptly — typically within 7–15 working days.
