From 1 April 2026, the general turnover categories are:

CategoryAnnual turnoverIssued by
FSSAI Registration (Form A)Up to ₹1.5 croreState food safety authority
State License (Form B)Above ₹1.5 crore and up to ₹50 croreState food safety authority

The applicable category also depends on your business activities and regulatory requirements.

The earlier limits were ₹12 lakh for registration and ₹20 crore for a State License. Turnover is not the only test. Your business activity matters too. For example, importers need a Central License whatever their turnover, and some categories such as milk processing have their own capacity-based rules. If you are unsure, send us your details and we will tell you which category applies.

How to Apply for FSSAI Registration Online: Step-by-Step Process

A simple 5-step process from your first enquiry to your certificate

01

Share your details

Business type, products, premises and expected annual turnover.

02

Confirm your category

We tell you whether you need Registration, a State License or a Central License, and whether Tatkal is possible.

03

Prepare documents

We check them against the checklist before filing.

04

Apply on FoSCoS

The application is submitted through the official portal and you pay the government fee there.

05

Track and respond

We help you answer any queries or inspection requests until the certificate is issued.

Timelines depend on your category and state. Basic registration can be quick, while State and Central Licenses may take longer, particularly where an inspection is needed.

Renewals, Validity and Annual Returns After the 2026 Reforms

The 2026 amendment changed the renewal rules. Licenses and registrations granted or applied for from 1 April 2026 have perpetual validity. They stay valid unless suspended, cancelled or surrendered, so there is no periodic renewal. Perpetual validity does not remove your obligations. You must still:

  • Pay the annual license or registration fee on time,
  • File the annual return on FoSCoS if it applies to your kind of business (it mainly affects manufacturers and importers),
  • Follow hygiene, labelling, record-keeping and display rules, and
  • Update FoSCoS when your business details or turnover category change.

If your certificate was issued before 1 April 2026, check your FoSCoS account to see whether it was migrated or still shows an expiry date. We can help with that check.
