Understanding FSSAI Registration Types: Basic, State, and Central

Food safety is paramount in any food-related business, and obtaining the necessary FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) registration or license is crucial for compliance. Depending on the scale of operations and the nature of the business, there are three main types of FSSAI registrations: Basic Registration, State License, and Central License.

1. Basic Registration

Basic Registration is suitable for small food businesses that have annual turnover below a specified amount (usually up to Rs. 12 lakhs). It is the simplest form of FSSAI registration and is ideal for businesses such as small-scale manufacturers, retailers, transporters, etc. Basic Registration can be obtained quickly and with minimal documentation.

2. State License

State License is applicable to mid-sized food businesses that exceed the turnover limit defined for Basic Registration but do not meet the criteria for Central License. Businesses such as hotels, restaurants, medium-sized manufacturers, storage units, etc., fall under this category. The State License is issued by the State Government and requires more documentation compared to Basic Registration.

3. Central License

Central License is mandatory for large-scale food businesses that surpass the turnover limit set for State License or for those engaged in import/export of food products. Central License is issued by the Central Government through the FSSAI headquarters. It involves more stringent compliance requirements and documentation, suitable for businesses like large manufacturers, importers, exporters, etc.
