Frequently asked questions

Which FSSAI licence do I need—basic, state, or central?

Turnover, manufacturing scale, and interstate trade determine licence type. Basic registration suits petty businesses; state/central licences apply to larger food operators—we classify before FoSCoS filing.

What documents are required for FSSAI registration?

Form details, ID/address proof, layout plan, list of products, and NOC from municipality where required. Manufacturing units may need water test reports—we compile category-specific packs.

Can I sell on marketplaces without FSSAI?

Marketplaces and aggregators typically require valid FSSAI for food SKUs. Operating without licence risks penalties and delisting—we prioritise compliance before scale-up.

How long is an FSSAI licence valid?

Validity ranges from 1 to 5 years depending on licence type and fee paid. Renew 30–60 days before expiry to avoid business interruption.

Do cloud kitchens and home bakers need FSSAI?

Most commercial food businesses need registration or licence even from home kitchens. Local municipal and state rules also apply—we assess your model honestly.
