FSSAI Registration & License

FSSAI Basic Registration, State License, and Central License for food businesses — mandatory compliance for all food manufacturers, traders, restaurants, and food service operators.

What is FSSAI Registration & License?

Every food business operator (FBO) in India must obtain FSSAI registration or license under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Operating a food business without FSSAI registration is a criminal offence attracting imprisonment up to 6 months and/or fine up to ₹5 lakh. The type of registration (Basic / State / Central) depends on your business size, turnover, and nature of operations.

AccentTax Consulting handles FSSAI registration and license applications for all types of food businesses — restaurants, cloud kitchens, food manufacturers, importers, exporters, traders, and e-commerce food platforms. We ensure the correct license type is obtained and all documentation is in order.
