How we approach it
Frequently asked questions
Which FSSAI license do I need?
Basic for small operators, State for mid-size, Central for large or import/export — based on turnover and activity.
Is it mandatory for a home food business?
Yes — even small food businesses need at least a Basic FSSAI registration.
How long is it valid?
Typically 1–5 years, renewable before expiry.
What's the difference between FSSAI registration and a license?
Registration is for very small operators in the Basic category; larger operators need a State or Central License with more detailed compliance requirements — we assess which applies to you.
Does an online food delivery business need FSSAI registration?
Yes, any entity manufacturing, storing, distributing or selling food — including cloud kitchens and delivery-only operations — needs an appropriate FSSAI registration or license.
What happens if FSSAI registration lapses?
Operating without a valid registration is a compliance violation that can result in penalties; we track renewal deadlines for retainer clients to avoid lapses.
