What we do for you
Not just the application. Everything that keeps a food business on the right side of FSSAI.
The right licence, in your name
We match the kind of business and the food categories to what you actually do, check your documents, and file on FSSAI’s own website on your login. The licence is yours, not ours.

Since 2026 a licence stays valid only while the yearly fee is paid and returns are filed. We keep every date and remind you before each one.
- Yearly fee and Form D-1 by 31 May
- Six-monthly tests where your licence asks
- Reminders to you and your team
Every label checked before you print
Each pack is read against the Labelling and Display Regulations 2020 and Legal Metrology, with the rule behind every correction.
- Mandatory statements, sizes and allergens
- Claims that are allowed, and ones that are not
- A written note you can hand to your designer
Notices answered before the deadline
An improvement notice, show-cause or inspection finding goes into the file with its deadline, the evidence, and the reply we send.
- Deadline counted from the day it is served
- Reply drafted and filed on time
- History kept for any later hearing
You don’t need a regulatory department. You need FoodRaksha.
Small businesses face the same FSSAI rules as multinationals, but cannot afford a regulatory department. FoodRaksha is that department, outsourced.
- Licences, labels, tests, returns, notices and audits, handled by one accountable team
- 365-day audit readiness, not a reaction after the notice arrives
- Legal and adjudication support included, not a ₹5–10 lakh freelance case
- One fixed monthly fee, quoted in writing after a free call

Questions people ask
Do I really need an FSSAI licence?
Yes. Every business that makes, stores, transports or sells food in India needs an FSSAI registration or licence. That includes home kitchens and online sellers.
Which one do I need?
Mostly it depends on how much you sell in a year: up to ₹1.5 crore is a Basic Registration, ₹1.5 crore to ₹50 crore is a State Licence, above ₹50 crore is a Central Licence. Supplement and nutraceutical makers and brands, importers and exporters always need a Central Licence, whatever their sales. Check yours in 3 questions.
How long does it take?
We file within 3 working days of getting all your documents. After that FSSAI’s own time limit applies: 7 days for a Basic Registration (30 if they inspect) and 60 days for a State or Central Licence.
How much does it cost?
It depends on your business and the licence you need. We tell you the full cost in writing on the free call, before any work starts. The government’s own fee is paid by you directly to FSSAI; see FSSAI’s fee table.
Does my licence expire?
Since March 2026, no. But it stops being valid if you miss the yearly fee, or the yearly return if your business has to file one.
Is FoodRaksha a government office?
No. We are an independent consultancy. FSSAI’s only licence website is foscos.fssai.gov.in, and your licence is filed there in your own name.
