FSSAI Renewal

Ensure Continuity of Your Food Business Legally

Every food business operator (FBO) in India must hold a valid FSSAI license/registration issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). Since FSSAI licenses are issued for a validity period of 1 to 5 years, timely renewal is essential to continue operations legally.

Why is Renewal Important?

  • ✅ Continuity of food business without legal interruptions

  • ✅ Avoid penalties and suspension of license

  • ✅ Maintains consumer trust & compliance with FSSAI regulations

  • ✅ Keeps your business eligible for export/import & government tenders

When to Apply for Renewal?

  • Renewal must be applied at least 30 days before the expiry date.

  • If not renewed within time, the license will expire, and the business must apply for a fresh license.

Types of Renewal

  1. Basic Registration Renewal – For small businesses (turnover up to ₹12 lakhs).

  2. State License Renewal – For medium-scale food businesses (turnover ₹12 lakhs – ₹20 crores).

  3. Central License Renewal – For large-scale FBOs (turnover above ₹20 crores, or multi-state operations).
