FSSAI revised the turnover thresholds effective 1 April 2026. For new applications under the revised framework:
The applicable category is not determined by turnover alone in every case. Certain activities and categories can have separate eligibility or Central Licence requirements.
These thresholds come from FSSAI's 13 March 2026 order and related official FAQ.
FSSAI Registration is the entry-level regulatory registration for eligible food businesses under the food-safety framework.
For an eligible business, the application is submitted through FoSCoS, the FSSAI online system. The registration certificate carries an FSSAI registration number that is used as required under applicable food-safety and labelling rules.
Basic Registration is not the same as a State or Central FSSAI Licence.
Potentially eligible businesses can include:
Eligibility should be checked against the current FSSAI category and activity requirements rather than based on turnover alone.
A business may require a State Licence or Central Licence instead of Basic Registration where:
The category should not be chosen solely from an old turnover table.
Home-based food businesses are still food businesses and may require FSSAI registration or licensing. Before applying, review:
The correct FSSAI category should be determined from the current FoSCoS/FSSAI requirements.
Tiffin services and cloud kitchens can fall within the FSSAI regulatory framework. The application should accurately describe:
A delivery platform does not itself determine the FSSAI category. The underlying food business activity and applicable FSSAI requirements do.
The documents listed below are commonly requested depending on the business and application category. The exact document list should be confirmed against the current FoSCoS application requirements before filing.
After submission, the application can be tracked using the relevant FoSCoS/application details. FSSAI may:
CorporateWalla can assist with application follow-up within the agreed professional scope, but government processing and approval are controlled by the authority.
CorporateWalla's service timeline for Basic Registration is 30 days. The actual government processing period can vary based on:
The professional timeline is not a government approval guarantee.
An FSSAI registration/licence document contains the relevant FSSAI number. Businesses should use and display the number in the manner required by current food-safety and labelling rules.
Food labelling requirements depend on the product and business activity.
Where included in the selected package, CorporateWalla can perform a limited label review against the applicable requirements. A basic label review is not a comprehensive product-law opinion unless that specialist scope is expressly provided.
Food businesses selling through online marketplaces or delivery platforms should ensure that their regulatory documents and product information meet the platform's current requirements.
FSSAI registration may be relevant, but a platform's onboarding policy is separate from FSSAI law. No single FSSAI category is automatically accepted by every platform. For the bookkeeping side of marketplace selling, see E-commerce Accounting.
Restaurants, caterers and other food-service businesses should assess their turnover, activity and premises against the current FSSAI categorisation. The 2026 turnover framework is:
Some activities have category-specific requirements, so turnover alone should not be treated as a universal test.
| Category | Who it covers |
|---|---|
| Registration | Entry-level category for eligible food businesses. Turnover up to ₹1.5 crore under the revised 2026 threshold, subject to activity criteria |
| State Licence | Generally above ₹1.5 crore and up to ₹50 crore under the revised turnover framework, subject to activity criteria |
| Central Licence | Generally above ₹50 crore under the revised turnover framework, plus certain activities/categories that require Central licensing |
Always verify the actual category in the current FoSCoS/FSSAI framework before applying.
FSSAI's 2026 reforms introduced perpetual validity for FSSAI registrations and licences, meaning they remain valid unless suspended, cancelled or surrendered, subject to ongoing statutory compliance.
FSSAI's official FAQ states that businesses do not need to renew registrations/licences under the new perpetual-validity framework. Existing certificates that still show an expiry date may require transition treatment, so businesses should verify their specific status on FoSCoS. For transition cases, see FSSAI Renewal.
The professional service fee is separate from the government fee. CorporateWalla's professional fees exclude GST and government charges.
FSSAI's April 2026 official monthly update lists the revised Registration government fee as ₹100, with State and Central government fees separately specified. Confirm the applicable government fee for the actual application/category before payment.
Avoid:
If you sell food through your own website, marketplaces, social channels or food-delivery platforms, the regulatory assessment should be based on the actual food-business activity.
The application should accurately reflect the business's products, premises, turnover and operations.
Online sales do not automatically change a Registration into a Central Licence, but certain business activities can have separate Central Licence requirements.
A business should reassess its FSSAI category when:
The 2026 framework also provides for migration of existing FBOs through FoSCoS where required.
Share your food-business activity, approximate annual turnover, products, premises and sales channels. CorporateWalla can help determine whether FSSAI Registration is appropriate and assist with the FoSCoS application.
A new food business may also need GST Registration or MSME/Udyam Registration, and brand owners often consider Trademark Registration.
FSSAI categories, thresholds and fees are set by FSSAI and can change. The applicable category and government fee should be confirmed on FoSCoS for the specific business before applying. CorporateWalla assists with preparation and filing; approval is controlled by the authority.
