What is FSSAI Registration & Why is it Mandatory?
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) registration is a mandatory 14-digit state-level or central-level license identifier issued to Food Business Operators (FBOs). Under Section 31 of the FSS Act, 2006, no manufacturer, packer, distributor, retailer, restaurant, or home kitchen in India can legally commence food-related commercial operations without obtaining a valid FSSAI certificate mapped to their active business locations.
FoSCoS licensing brackets determined by annual turnover and scale metrics of the Food Business.
| FBO Bracket Type | Statutory Eligibility Metrics | Govt Fee (Excluding CA Service) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Registration | Turnover < ₹12 Lakhs / year | ₹100 / year |
| State License | Turnover ₹12 Lakhs to ₹20 Crores / year | ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 / year |
| Central License | Turnover > ₹20 Crores OR Importers/Exporters | ₹7,500 / year |
💡 Annual Mandate: Under the latest FSSAI mandates, keeping your licenses modified or filing your yearly sales and raw material declarations (Form D1) is necessary to keep your business out of the penalty dragnet.
