Ensure your food business stays compliant with FSSAI by renewing your license before it expires. Our professional team simplifies the renewal process with a fast, secure, and fully online service.
For food businesses, obtaining and renewing FSSAI licenses/registrations is essential for legal compliance and adherence to safety standards. The renewal of FSSAI licenses, governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, is vital for any entity in the food sector to ensure ongoing compliance with safety regulations and quality benchmarks. With licenses usually valid for 1 to 5 years, timely renewal is key to uninterrupted business operations.
DoStartup offers comprehensive assistance in renewing your FSSAI license/registration, simplifying the process and ensuring your food business fully complies with the necessary safety and quality regulations.
For businesses involved in manufacturing, storing, transporting, or distributing food within India, securing an FSSAI License or Registration is a crucial legal requirement. The specific type of FSSAI license needed depends on the scale and scope of the operation.
FSSAI Registration is a mandatory requirement for small-scale food manufacturers or Food Business Operators (FBOs) with an annual turnover of less than ₹12 lakhs. This registration allows small food businesses to operate legally within India.
The FSSAI License becomes essential for food enterprises whose turnover exceeds ₹12 lakhs. The license is differentiated into:
| License / Registration | Duration of Validity |
|---|---|
| FSSAI Registration | 1 to 5 Years (as per applicant's choice) |
| FSSAI State License | 1 year |
| FSSAI Central License | 1 year |
Renewal is a crucial step to undertake before the current license expires. It's recommended to start the renewal process well before the expiry date to ensure smooth continuation of business activities.
The process should ideally begin 30 days before expiry; businesses can start as early as 180 days prior to prepare documents and submit the renewal application.
A late fee of ₹100 per day applies for license renewals not initiated at least 30 days before expiry (this late fee applies to licenses and not registrations).
Renewals after expiry may keep the same license number but attract penalties depending on the delay (e.g., up to 90 days late: 3× the annual fee; 91–180 days late: 5× total in some cases).
