FSSAI Registration
Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is the apex authority that regulates and monitors the food business in India. FSSAI registration is mandatory for any food business operator (FBO) that manufactures, stores, transports, or distributes food products in India. FSSAI registration ensures that the food products are safe, hygienic, and comply with the standards and regulations laid down by the FSSAI.
Types of FSSAI Registration
There are three types of FSSAI registration, depending on the size and nature of the food business:
FSSAI Basic Registration: This is applicable for small-scale FBOs, such as petty retailers, hawkers, street vendors, etc. whose annual turnover is less than Rs. 12 lakhs. The fee for FSSAI basic registration is ₹100 per year.
FSSAI State License: This is applicable for medium-scale FBOs, such as restaurants, caterers, food processors, distributors, etc. whose annual turnover is between ₹12 lakhs and ₹20 crores. The fee for FSSAI state license is ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 per year, depending on the category of the FBO.
FSSAI Central License: This is applicable for large-scale FBOs, such as exporters, importers, e-commerce platforms, food chains, etc. whose annual turnover is more than ₹20 crores. The fee for FSSAI central license is ₹7,500 per year.
Importance of FSSAI Registration
FSSAI registration is important for the following reasons:
- FSSAI registration ensures that the food products are safe, hygienic, and comply with the standards and regulations laid down by the FSSAI.
- FSSAI registration enhances the credibility and reputation of the FBO and builds trust and confidence among the consumers.
- FSSAI registration helps in avoiding legal hassles and penalties for non-compliance with the FSSAI rules and regulations.
FSSAI registration enables the FBO to avail various benefits and schemes offered by the government and other agencies for the promotion and development of the food sector.

To obtain FSSAI registration, the FBO has to follow the following steps:
Step 1: Visit the FoSCoS portal1 of the FSSAI and select the state in which the FBO is operating its premises.
Step 2: Fill and submit the online application form, i.e. Form A (for basic registration) or Form B (for state and central license) along with the required documents, such as identity proof, address proof, business details, food category, etc.
Step 3: Pay the applicable fee online or offline and obtain the acknowledgement receipt.
Step 4: Wait for the verification and inspection by the FSSAI officials, which may take up to 60 days for basic registration and up to 90 days for state and central license.
