FAQ

Basic Registration FAQs

Yes! If you sell food made at home — even via Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, or Zomato — you are running a food business and need FSSAI registration. Basic Registration at ₹100 government fee is sufficient if your annual turnover is below ₹12 lakh. Without it, you risk penalties up to ₹5 lakh.
Yes. If your turnover grows above ₹12 lakh, you must upgrade to a State License. We handle the upgrade process for you. You cannot continue with Basic Registration once your turnover crosses ₹12 lakh — you must apply for State License within a reasonable time.
Basic Registration is valid for the specific state where you apply. If you want to operate in multiple states, you need separate registrations or a State/Central license depending on your scale. For most small local food businesses, a single state Basic Registration is sufficient.
You can choose validity of 1 to 5 years at the time of applying. The government fee of ₹100 is charged per year, so a 5-year registration costs ₹500 in government fees. Longer validity means less paperwork — we recommend 5 years for most businesses.
