FSSAI License Renewal Online

If you’re looking to start a business on food distribution, you need to ensure that you do it the right way, that is by obtaining a licence for it. A food licence is issued by the FSSAI, which stands for Food Safety and Standard Authority of India. To carry out a food business, it is mandatory to have this licence according to the FSSA Act, 2006.

Once you are issued the licence, it is valid for a period of 1-5 years depending on your purchase period. Before the license expires, you will need to renew your license online, in order to continue your food business without paying any penalty for an expired license.

Need for Renewal of FSSAI License

A FSSAI license is usually valid for a period of 1-5 years for a Food Business Operator (FBO). Renewal of a license can be done online. For that, one needs to apply for it 30 days prior to the date of its expiration. Failing to follow this clause will lead to a fine of Rs 100 charged for each day of delay from the date of expiry until renewal of the license is approved.

Types of Food License and their Renewal

Based on the annual turnover, there are 3 types of licenses:

Renewal for Basic FSSAI License
All the FBOs who have a turnover of less than 12 lakhs per year come under the Basic FSSAI License. If their turnover has remained the same, post license expiration period, they're required to renew under this same license.

Renewal for State FSSAI Licence
FBOs with a turnover ranging from 12 lakhs to 20 crore per year, come under State FSSAI License. On expiration they will need to renew under the same license. In case, their business has grown from their last valid license period, i e more than 20 crore turnover, they can opt for the Central License Renewal.

Renewal for Central FSSAI License
When the FBO has a turnover higher than 20 crore, they come under the Central FSSAI License category. Before the expiration of their validity, they have to apply for a renewal under the same category.

Benefits of FSSAI Renewal

An FSSAI registered food business instills confidence in customers who are looking to consume your food product and trust your business with the spirit of goodwill.

A fresh concept is created which improves safety standards as well as assists in reaching the benchmark of international organisations thanks to the FSSA Act.

A renewal assures re-inspection and re-examination of the business by FSSAI through legal proceedings. Once this is done, only then can the application proceed for renewal.

Having a license can make you go for business expansion with a relaxed state of mind. This will help in upgrading to State or Central license.
