Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between State and Central FSSAI Licence?
State Licence covers medium-turnover businesses operating within a single state; Central Licence is for larger businesses, importers/exporters, or those operating across multiple states/government establishments.
Is a premises inspection always required for a State Licence?
In most cases yes, a Food Safety Officer inspection is part of the approval process, though timing varies by state and category.
Can I apply for a State Licence directly without Basic Registration first?
Yes, if your turnover or business type already qualifies for State Licence, you can apply directly without going through Basic Registration first.
What happens if my business expands to another state?
You'd typically need a separate State Licence for the new state, or evaluate whether Central Licensing becomes more appropriate for multi-state operations.
How often does the licence need renewal?
You can choose validity of 1 to 5 years at the time of application; renewal must be filed before expiry to avoid a late fee or lapse.
