FSSAI Published 26 Oct 2026 Updated 26 Oct 2026 SK Wealth Editorial Team

Important highlights

  • Small businesses may need only a basic registration.
  • Larger or specific activities need a state or central licence.
  • Annual returns and renewals apply.

How to decide

Look at your annual turnover, whether you manufacture, store, transport or sell, and whether you operate in one state or several. Importers and certain categories need a central licence.

Next step

Apply on the FoSCoS portal with the right category and keep your renewal date handy.
