Understanding FSSAI Jurisdiction & Turnover Tiers

Under the Food Safety and Standards Act, operating any food business without a valid FSSAI license attracts penalties up to ₹5,00,000 and imprisonment. The licensing tier is strictly determined by your annual turnover and production capacity:

  • FSSAI Basic Registration: Annual turnover under ₹12 Lakhs (Small kiosks, home bakers, street vendors). Fee: ₹100/year.
  • FSSAI State License: Annual turnover between ₹12 Lakhs and ₹20 Crores (Standard restaurants, cloud kitchens, regional distributors). Fee: ₹2,000 – ₹5,000/year.
  • FSSAI Central License: Annual turnover exceeding ₹20 Crores, 100% export-oriented food units, or multi-state franchise networks. Fee: ₹7,500/year.

All applications must be submitted via the government's official FoSCoS portal with layout blueprints, water test reports, and food safety supervisor certificates.
