FSSAI RegistrationUp to ₹1.5 crore₹100 per year
State License₹1.5 crore – ₹50 crore₹2,000 – ₹5,000 per year
Central LicenseAbove ₹50 crore₹7,500 per year

FSSAI registrations and licences now have perpetual validity — they stay valid unless suspended, cancelled or surrendered, subject to ongoing compliance.

When a Central License is needed whatever your size

  • Importing or exporting food
  • Running an e-commerce food platform
  • Operating at airports, seaports, railway premises or other central-government locations
  • The head office of a business operating in more than one state

Turnover alone doesn't decide every case — some activities, locations and capacities have their own rules. Our experts confirm your category before filing.

Questions, answered

Do home bakers and tiffin services need FSSAI?

Yes. Anyone who makes, sells or serves food needs at least basic FSSAI registration — including home bakers selling on Instagram or WhatsApp.

Does a cloud kitchen need a separate licence for Swiggy and Zomato?

No. One FSSAI licence for your kitchen's premises covers all platforms. The platforms ask for your FSSAI number before listing you.

What is the penalty for running without FSSAI?

Operating without a valid registration or licence can attract a fine of up to ₹5 lakh and imprisonment of up to 6 months, besides your listing being taken down.

How long does FSSAI registration take?

Basic registration usually takes 7–10 working days. State and Central licences take 30–60 days and may involve an inspection.
