Scope

What’s included

  • Assessment of whether you need basic registration, a state licence, or a central licence
  • Product and category classification against the FSSAI schedules
  • Document preparation, including the layout plan and equipment list where required
  • Application filing on the FoSCoS portal
  • Responses to departmental queries and inspection follow-up
  • Guidance on displaying the licence number and on renewal dates

Everything above is covered by the professional fee. Anything outside it is quoted before we start it, never after.

Who it suits

Restaurants, cloud kitchens, home food businesses, traders, and manufacturers handling food.

If that does not describe you, say so before you commit — there is usually a lighter filing that does the job, and we would rather point you at it.

Cost

What it costs

Our professional fee

from ₹3,499

+ government fees at actuals

What we charge for the work itself — preparing your paperwork, filing it, and following it through to the authority's response. Confirmed in writing before anything starts.

Government & statutory fees

At actuals

Charged separately from our fee and paid to the relevant authority. They vary by state, by authorised capital, and by the slab you fall into, so we confirm the exact figures once we know your specifics.

Professional fees only. The FSSAI government fee depends on the licence category and the number of years you choose, and is payable at actuals.

We do not quote the two together as one number. They are charged by different parties and only one of them is ours. Fees shown on this site are indicative pending confirmation, and you will have both figures in writing before you decide.

Process

How it runs

  1. Scope and quote

    We confirm what you actually need, what our professional fee covers, and which government fees will apply in your case — in writing, before any work begins.

  2. Documents

    We send a checklist, then review everything you send back before it goes anywhere. Most delays start with a document, not with the authority.

  3. Preparation and filing

    We prepare and file the FSSAI Food Licence paperwork, then track the application and respond to any queries raised on it.

    Filed in 2–4 working days. Basic registrations often issue quickly; state and central licences follow the food authority's review and any inspection it orders.

  4. Handover

    You receive every acknowledgement and certificate the authority issues, along with a plain-English note on what falls due next and when.

Processing time is set by the relevant authority, not by us. We can file promptly and follow up, but the approval itself sits with the department handling it.

Questions

Asked before you asked

  • Which licence do I need?

    It depends on turnover, the kind of operation, and whether you work in more than one state. Basic registration suits the smallest operators; larger or multi-state operations need a state or central licence. We assess before filing.

  • Do I need one for a home kitchen?

    Generally yes. Selling food commercially — including from home, or only through delivery apps — requires at least a basic FSSAI registration.

  • How long is it valid?

    You choose a term of one to five years when you apply. We note the renewal date and remind you well before it lapses, since operating on a lapsed licence carries penalties.
