Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FSSAI Registration, State License, and Central License?
A basic Registration is for businesses with annual turnover up to ₹12 lakh. A State License covers ₹12 lakh to ₹20 crore turnover or businesses operating in one state. A Central License is for businesses with turnover above ₹20 crore, those operating in more than one state, importers, exporters, and centrally licensed categories.
How long is the FSSAI State License valid?
From 1 to 5 years, chosen at the time of application. The fee is proportional to the chosen period.
Is a premises inspection always required?
An inspection may be conducted by the Food Safety Officer before the license is issued. Not all applications trigger an inspection — it depends on the category and the state authority.
Can the FSSAI License be used across multiple branches?
Each business premises requires a separate licence. A restaurant chain must have individual licences for each outlet.
What if my turnover crosses ₹20 crore after I have a State License?
You must upgrade to a FSSAI Central License and surrender the State License.
What is the renewal process?
Apply for renewal through FoSCoS at least 30 days before the expiry date. Late renewal attracts a penalty of ₹100 per day.
