Overview

Food businesses above the petty threshold need a State licence (turnover ₹12 lakh–₹20 crore) or a Central licence (turnover above ₹20 crore, or for import/export and large operations).

CorpRaasta determines the correct licence, prepares Form B with all annexures, and manages the process with the food authority until your licence is granted.

Frequently asked questions

A State licence covers mid-sized businesses (₹12 lakh–₹20 crore turnover), while a Central licence is for large businesses above ₹20 crore and for import/export and certain notified operations.

For many licence categories — especially manufacturing — a physical inspection of premises may be carried out before the licence is granted.

An FSSAI licence can be granted for 1 to 5 years and must be renewed before expiry.
