FSSAI Registration

Introducing the Food Safety & Standards Act of 2006, a pivotal legislation aimed at enhancing food hygiene and quality, sparking transformative shifts within the food industry. Under this act, acquiring FSSAI Registration or License is crucial, tailored to specific locations and bound by terms.

In India, mandatory registration of food businesses serves to regulate their production, storage, distribution, and sale, ensuring the provision of safe and nutritious food for human consumption. This regulatory framework primarily targets small-scale enterprises.

FSSAI licenses come in two categories, determined by business size and nature: State FSSAI License and Central FSSAI License. The State FSSAI License is obligatory for Food Business Operators with a turnover exceeding INR 12 lakhs annually. Conversely, the Central License is imperative for FBOs operating across multiple states, importers, 100% export-oriented units, and those providing catering services to central government agencies like Railways, Airports, Seaports, and Defense establishments.

For every Food Business Operator, registration is mandatory if the turnover is less than INR 12 lakhs, whereas a license application is required for turnovers exceeding this threshold, as per the regulations stipulated by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). Government fees are contingent upon the registration's validity period.

To facilitate FSSAI registration, specific documents are requisite:

• Identity and address proofs of promoters, including photographs and PAN cards.
• Government-issued documents such as Driving License, Aadhaar Card, Voters ID, or Passport.
• Business documentation including Certificate of Incorporation & MOA, PAN Card of the entity, Sale Deed for owned property, Rental Agreement for leased premises, and recent utility bills like electricity or water bills.

Ensuring compliance with these requirements guarantees a seamless registration process and adherence to food safety standards set by FSSAI.
