Which one do you need?

It depends on your turnover and the kind of business.

  • State licence: turnover above ₹12 lakh and up to ₹20 crore, in most cases
  • Central licence: turnover above ₹20 crore, and importers, e-commerce operators and some other categories

Some categories need a licence even at small size. We check your exact case.

  5. 5Your registration or licence is issued. We explain what to display and how to renew.

Common questions

How long is an FSSAI licence valid?

You can choose from one to five years when you apply. We recommend a longer period if you plan to stay in the business.

Do I need FSSAI to sell food online?

Yes. Online platforms ask for your FSSAI number before they list you.

What if I do not have the licence?

Running a food business without it can lead to fines and closure. If you already operate without one, we help you apply right away.

Can I add a new product later?

Yes. We update your licence for new products or a changed address.
