प्रक्रिया
हम वास्तव में क्या करते हैं
- 1
We establish the right tier
Turnover decides it for most businesses, but activity overrides turnover: an importer, an exporter, an operator at more than one state, or a business at an airport or seaport needs a Central licence whatever the numbers say. Applying at the wrong tier means the application is returned after the wait.
- 2
We assemble the premises and process documents
The layout plan, the list of equipment, the water test report where processing is involved, the source of raw material, and the food safety management plan. This is the part that decides the application, and incomplete process documentation is the usual cause of delay.
- 3
We name a technically qualified person where required
Manufacturing licences require a nominated food safety supervisor with the prescribed qualification. Applying without one is an incomplete application.
- 4
We file and follow the inspection
State and Central licences generally involve an inspection of the premises. We file, track and deal with the queries — a food licence application left unattended does not fail, it simply stops moving.
- 5
We diarise renewal and display
Licences run one to five years at the applicant's choice and must be renewed before expiry — a lapsed licence means reapplying rather than renewing. The number goes on the packaging and the certificate on the wall, both of which an inspection checks.
यह किसके लिए है
- Restaurants, cafés, cloud kitchens and caterers
- Food manufacturers, processors and packers
- Retailers, distributors and wholesalers of packaged food
- Food sellers on Swiggy, Zomato and marketplace platforms, who cannot list without one
- Importers and exporters of food, who need a Central licence regardless of turnover
- Home-based food businesses, which are not exempt
कितना समय लगता है
Seven to ten working days for a basic registration. State and Central licences run thirty to sixty days, and the inspection is what governs the date.
यदि आप कुछ न करें
The business runs until an inspection, a customer complaint or a platform audit. At that point the penalty is computed, the premises can be closed while it is resolved, and for a delivery-led business the listing goes down — which costs more in a week than the licence costs in five years.

जो अक्सर ग़लत होता है
- Applying for a State licence as an importer or exporter, where a Central licence is required regardless of turnover
- Letting the licence lapse, which means a fresh application rather than a renewal
- Leaving the licence number off the packaging, which is a separate contravention from not holding one
- Assuming a home-based or small online food business is exempt — it is not
- Treating the FSSAI licence as covering the trade licence, or the reverse; most food businesses need both
जुर्माना
- Up to ₹5,00,000 and imprisonment up to 6 months for operating without a licence, under section 63
- ₹2,00,000 for sub-standard food, and higher for misbranded or unsafe food
- Suspension or cancellation of the licence for non-compliance
- Delisting from delivery platforms, which require a valid licence number to keep a listing live
ये वैधानिक राशियाँ हैं, हमारा शुल्क नहीं। हमारा शुल्क आपकी स्थिति पर निर्भर करता है और कोटेशन में दिया जाता है।
इसे इनसे न मिलाएँ
मिलती-जुलती सेवाएँ जो अक्सर एक समझ ली जाती हैं।
Trade licence
A trade licence is municipal permission to operate at a premises. FSSAI is central food safety law. A restaurant needs both, and neither substitutes for the other.
ISO 22000
ISO 22000 is a voluntary food safety management certification a buyer may ask for. FSSAI is a statutory licence required by law.
