FSSAI revised the turnover framework effective 1 April 2026.
Under the revised framework:
| Category | Annual turnover |
|---|---|
| Registration | Up to ₹1.5 crore, subject to applicable activity criteria |
| State Licence | Above ₹1.5 crore and up to ₹50 crore, subject to applicable activity criteria |
| Central Licence | Above ₹50 crore, subject to applicable activity criteria |
Turnover is not the only licensing test. Certain food-business activities/categories can require a specific licence category irrespective of the general turnover bands.
Always verify the current FoSCoS eligibility/category before filing.
An FSSAI State Licence is a food-safety licence for food businesses that fall within the State Licence category under the applicable FSSAI framework.
It is different from:
The correct category depends on the food business's activity, turnover, premises and other applicable eligibility criteria.
Businesses that may fall within the State Licence category can include eligible:
The exact category should be determined from the current FSSAI/FoSCoS eligibility criteria rather than from a generic business-name list.
For the general revised 2026 turnover framework:
Some activities are subject to category-specific conditions. Therefore, turnover should be treated as one part of the eligibility assessment rather than the only test.
Restaurants, cafes, caterers, cloud kitchens and other food-service businesses should assess:
The applicable licence should be selected from the current FSSAI framework.
Manufacturing and processing businesses may need to provide more detailed information about:
The exact documents depend on the activity and product category.
Food wholesalers, distributors and storage businesses should assess their FSSAI category based on:
A business operating multiple food activities may need to assess each relevant activity/premises under the applicable framework.
An FSSAI application may involve scrutiny, clarification or inspection depending on the category and circumstances.
CorporateWalla can assist with document preparation and responses within the agreed scope.
No service provider can guarantee:
The time required depends on the application category, documents, authority processing, clarification requests and inspection requirements.
Any service timeline shown is an internal processing estimate, not a guaranteed government approval timeline.
FSSAI's 2026 reforms introduced perpetual validity for registrations and licences, subject to ongoing compliance and the possibility of suspension, cancellation or surrender.
This replaces the earlier position that the licence required periodic renewal for a fixed validity period.
Existing certificates issued under the earlier framework may require transition treatment. Businesses should verify their specific licence status in FoSCoS. FSSAI Renewal support is available for existing certificates.
FSSAI government fees are separate from CorporateWalla's professional service fees unless the package expressly states otherwise.
The applicable government fee depends on the licence category and application. There is no single universal fee for every State Licence application.
The government fee should be confirmed against the current FSSAI/FoSCoS schedule before payment.
| Basic Registration | State Licence | |
|---|---|---|
| Turnover | Generally for eligible food businesses up to ₹1.5 crore turnover under the revised framework | Generally above ₹1.5 crore and up to ₹50 crore |
| Scope | Lower-complexity registration category, subject to activity requirements | Applicable to eligible businesses falling within the State category; may involve more detailed business/activity information |
A business should not upgrade solely because it wants a “better” certificate. The correct category is determined by the applicable FSSAI requirements. See FSSAI Basic Registration.
State Licence generally covers eligible businesses in the ₹1.5 crore–₹50 crore turnover range under the revised framework.
Central Licence generally applies above ₹50 crore and to certain specified activities/categories.
The actual requirement should be checked against the current FoSCoS eligibility criteria, especially for importers, exporters, large manufacturers and other specially regulated categories.
Businesses with multiple premises should review how the FSSAI licensing framework applies to:
Do not assume that one State Licence automatically covers every food-business premise or activity.
Online sales do not by themselves determine the FSSAI category.
Businesses selling through:
should assess the underlying food activity, premises, products and applicable licensing requirements.
Platform onboarding requirements are separate from the legal FSSAI classification.
Where included, CorporateWalla may provide a limited label/document review.
Label requirements can depend on:
A limited label review is not a complete legal certification unless that specialist service is expressly provided.
Businesses requiring a State Licence may need to maintain appropriate food-safety systems and documentation depending on their activity.
CorporateWalla can assist with documentation or compliance guidance where specifically scoped.
Not every State Licence applicant requires the same food-safety documents.
An existing food business should review its FSSAI licence when it:
The correct modification, licence-category or application route should be checked on FoSCoS.
Perpetual validity does not remove the business's obligation to comply with applicable food-safety requirements.
Businesses still need to:
