FSSAI Basic Registration

FSSAI Basic Registration suits small food businesses — petty manufacturers, retailers, hawkers, and home-based food businesses below the basic-registration turnover threshold. It's the simplest entry point into food business compliance, filed as Form A with the State authority via FoSCoS.

  • Form A application filed via FoSCoS
  • 14-digit FSSAI registration number issued
  • Typically approved in 7–10 working days
  • Suited to turnover below the basic-registration threshold

FSSAI State License

A State License is required for medium-scale food businesses operating within a single state — restaurants, mid-sized manufacturers, and storage/distribution units above the basic-registration threshold. It's filed as Form B with the State Licensing Authority.

  • Form B application filed with the State Licensing Authority
  • Food safety management plan and layout plan prepared
  • Typically approved in 30–45 working days
  • Valid for 1 to 5 years, as chosen at application

FSSAI Central License

A Central License is mandatory for large food businesses, importers and exporters, and any business operating across more than one state, above the central turnover threshold. It's filed as Form B directly with FSSAI's Central Licensing Authority.

  • Form B application filed with the Central Licensing Authority
  • Mandatory for importers, exporters, and multi-state operations
  • Typically approved in 45–60 working days
  • Valid for 1 to 5 years, as chosen at application

FSSAI License Renewal

FSSAI registrations and licenses expire at the end of their chosen validity period, and operating on an expired license is treated the same as operating without one. Legalkarobar.com tracks your expiry date and files the renewal application in advance, avoiding late fees or a fresh application.

  • Renewal filed at least 30 days before expiry
  • Updated documents and declarations prepared
  • Late-renewal fee avoidance through advance tracking
  • Applies to Basic Registration, State, and Central Licenses

FSSAI Modification & Amendment

Business details rarely stay static — a change of address, an added product category, or a change in business structure all require an update to your existing FSSAI registration or license, not a fresh application. Legalkarobar.com manages the modification filing so your registration stays accurate.

  • Address and business detail updates
  • Addition or removal of product/food categories
  • Kind of business (KoB) changes
  • Filed through FoSCoS against your existing license

FSSAI Annual Return Filing (Form D1)

Most FSSAI license holders must file an annual return (Form D1) each financial year, and manufacturers, importers, and certain other categories have additional periodic return obligations. Legalkarobar.com prepares and files these returns and tracks the deadline so it's never missed.

  • Form D1 annual return preparation and filing
  • Additional half-yearly returns for milk/meat processors, where applicable
  • Deadline tracking each financial year
  • Coordinated with your GST and other statutory filings
