FSSAI State License

FSSAI State License is a food business licence issued under the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) framework for food businesses operating at a scale that requires a State Licence rather than Basic Registration or a Central Licence.

It is commonly applicable to eligible restaurants, food manufacturers, traders, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, storage units, transporters, caterers and other food business operators based on their annual turnover, production capacity and nature of business.

For many categories of food businesses, an FSSAI State License is generally applicable where the annual turnover exceeds ₹12 lakh and is up to ₹20 crore, although specific eligibility limits can vary depending on the type and capacity of the food business.

At E-Incorp Elite, we provide complete FSSAI State License assistance, including eligibility assessment, document preparation, online application filing and licence approval support.
