FSSAI License
For medium and large food businesses, an FSSAI State or Central License is required. We handle category mapping, documentation and filing.
An FSSAI Licence (as opposed to Basic Registration) is required for food businesses above ₹12 lakh annual turnover. There are two types: the State License for mid-sized businesses operating within a state, and the Central License for large operators, importers/exporters, and businesses operating across multiple states.
Licensing involves more detailed documentation — including premises layout, a food safety plan and category mapping. Our consultants prepare everything correctly the first time to minimise queries and rejections.
