Food License Process

What Is FSSAI Registration & Why It Matters

FSSAI Registration is a mandatory food safety license issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, for anyone manufacturing, processing, storing, distributing, or selling food.

Depending on the size and nature of the business, an entity requires a Basic Registration, State License, or Central License — operating without the correct FSSAI category can attract penalties and shut down orders.

TrustMark IP Consultants manages the complete journey — eligibility assessment, application preparation, document filing, and follow-up with the Food Safety Department — so your food business stays compliant from day one.

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every food business operator in India — from small vendors to large manufacturers — must obtain either a Basic Registration, State License, or Central License depending on the scale of operations.

Basic Registration is usually processed within 7 to 10 working days, while State and Central Licenses can take 30 to 60 days depending on inspection requirements.

The category depends mainly on annual turnover — Basic Registration suits businesses up to ₹12 lakh, State License covers ₹12 lakh to ₹20 crore, and Central License applies above ₹20 crore or for import/export.

You'll typically need ID and address proof of the applicant, proof of the business premises, a list of food products, and a layout plan for manufacturing or processing units where applicable.

FSSAI licenses can be obtained for a period of 1 to 5 years, chosen at the time of application, and must be renewed before expiry to remain valid.

Operating a food business without the required FSSAI registration or license can attract fines, legal proceedings, and closure of the business under the Food Safety and Standards Act.
