FSSAI Services

Gujarat’s food processing sector spans agro and food processing units.

It spans snack manufacturers.

It spans dairy operations.

It spans a growing network of restaurants and cloud kitchens in Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, and Rajkot.

If your business manufactures, processes, stores, or distributes food products, FSSAI requires you to hold a valid registration or licence.

Which FSSAI registration does my food business need?

FSSAI categorises food businesses into three licence tiers based on turnover and activity type:

Basic Registration — For small-scale food businesses with annual turnover up to ₹12 lakh. This covers petty food manufacturers, transporters, and small retailers. Fee: ₹999 one-time.

State Licence — For medium-sized food businesses with turnover between ₹12 lakh and ₹20 crore. Restaurants, hotels, processors and distributors at this scale require the state-level licence. Fee: ₹1,499 one-time, renewable annually at ₹1,499/year.

Central Licence — For large manufacturers, importers and food businesses with turnover above ₹20 crore. Processed food importers and large-scale manufacturing units also require the central licence. Fee is based on turnover and product category. Contact FinTax24 for a quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need FSSAI registration to sell food on Amazon or Flipkart?

Yes. Any e-commerce seller offering food products in India must hold a valid FSSAI licence or registration. Marketplace operators typically verify this before listing your products.

How long does FSSAI registration take?

Basic registration is typically issued within 7 working days. State and central licences take 30–60 working days depending on the complexity of the application and local office processing times.

What happens if I operate without a valid FSSAI licence?

Operating without the required registration or licence is an offence under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Penalties can include fines. In serious cases, imprisonment. Products can also be seized.

Can FinTax24 handle FSSAI renewals?

Yes. Annual renewal is part of the service. We’ll remind you before the expiry date. We file the renewal well in advance so there is no gap in your licence.

A restaurant with annual turnover up to ₹20 crore needs a state licence. Restaurants above that threshold need a central licence. FinTax24 helps you determine which category applies to your business.
