TYPES OF FSSAI LICENSE
Businesses engaged in food activities are required to apply for different type of food license based on turnover, scale of business and the type of activity. Such businesses must apply for either of the licenses (central or state) or simple registration. The criteria specified in rules are as follows:
-
FSSAI Basic registration :-
This is required for small business or startups which have annual turnover below Rs.12 lakhs. Basic registration can be upgraded to state license as your sales graph increases.
-
FSSAI State license :-
This license is applicable to mid-sized companies which have annual turnover between Rs.12-20 crores.
-
FSSAI Central license :-
This license is applicable typically on large business with annual turnover above Rs.20 crores. It is also required in cases where you need to supply at the government offices or import / export food products.
STEPS FOR GETTING THE FSSAI LICENSE
One can file the FSSAI application directly with the government. The process is long and requires 30-60 days to get completed:
-
Step 1 :-
Fill FSSAI form A on FSSAI website and make the payment for FSSAI application at the FBO nearby your locality.
-
Step 2 :-
Once the payment confirmation is reflected in your FSSAI account, you need to file Form B with the government. There are multiple declarations and resolutions that need to be filed with your application. E.g., board resolution, owner self-declaration. These declarations should ideally be prepared by a company secretary.
-
Step 3 :-
You will then need to follow-up with the government department for an update on your application. The government may send back your application for edits – if you fail to respond with 15 days of the application, then your application will be rejected.
-
Step 4 :- Trademark registration
The government department will take 45-60 working days to completely review your application and approve the same.
