The number your customers can look up
Every business that handles food for sale needs an FSSAI number, from a home kitchen to an importer. It appears on your packaging, your menu and your marketplace listing, and buyers can verify it.
The category matters. Applying for basic registration when your turnover needs a state licence means reapplying later, and operating on the wrong category is treated the same way as operating without one.
Best suited to
- Cloud kitchens and restaurants
- Packaged food brands and home food businesses
- Traders, distributors and importers of food
- Sellers listing food on Swiggy, Zomato and marketplaces
Documents you need
- PAN and Aadhaar of the proprietor, partners or directors
- Incorporation certificate or partnership deed
- Proof of the premises with a rent agreement or ownership document
- Layout plan of the processing unit where applicable
- List of food products or categories handled
- Water test report for manufacturing units
Scanned copies are enough to begin. We check every document against the department's current format before filing, because a rejected form costs more time than a resubmitted scan.

FSSAI questions from Mumbai
Do we need to meet in person for fssai in Mumbai?
No. FSSAI registration is handled online from start to finish. Documents are collected digitally, the filing goes out under our professional login, and certificates reach you by email, so we work with clients across Maharashtra without a site visit.
Which jurisdiction applies to fssai in Mumbai?
Premises in Mumbai fall under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, and the state licensing authority for Maharashtra handles anything above basic registration.
Which FSSAI category applies to my business?
Basic registration covers the smallest operators, a state licence covers mid sized businesses operating within one state, and a central licence covers large operators, importers and businesses working across states. Turnover and activity together decide it.
How long is an FSSAI licence valid?
Licences are issued for one to five years, and you choose the term when applying. Renewal must be applied for before expiry, since operating on a lapsed licence is treated as operating without one.
Do home kitchens need FSSAI registration?
Yes. Any business handling food for sale needs at least basic registration, including home based operations and cloud kitchens working from a residential address.
Do I need to print the licence number on packaging?
Yes. The FSSAI licence number has to appear on the label of packaged food, and marketplaces will ask for it before your listing goes live.
