An FSSAI Licence is required for medium and large food businesses whose annual turnover exceeds the threshold for basic registration. Depending on the scale of operations, businesses need either a State FSSAI Licence (turnover above Rs. 1.5 crore and up to Rs. 50 crore) or a Central FSSAI Licence (turnover above Rs. 50 crore, or specific categories like importers and large manufacturers or exporters).
State Licence: for medium-sized manufacturers, storage units, transporters, and retailers with turnover above Rs. 1.5 crore and up to Rs. 50 crore. Central Licence: for large manufacturers, importers/exporters, and businesses operating in multiple states, or with turnover exceeding Rs. 50 crore.
Licence applications are filed on the FoSCoS portal using Form B and typically take 30-60 days, depending on whether a premises inspection is required.
