Service Overview

Under Section 31 of the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006, every Food Business Operator (FBO) involved in the manufacture, processing, storage, distribution, packaging, or sale of food items must obtain an FSSAI registration or license prior to starting operations.

For small-scale food businesses with an annual turnover not exceeding ₹12 Lakhs (or production capacity up to 100 kg/liters per day), FSSAI Basic Registration (Form A) is mandatory. Carrying on food operations without FSSAI registration attracts imprisonment of up to 6 months and fines up to ₹5 Lakh under Section 63.
