Licensing is a state subject under the Act. In Maharashtra it runs through the Commissioner of Food Safety — in practice, the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), Maharashtra — with Registration granted by the Designated Officer (the district licensing officer) for your area and State Licences by the state licensing authority. A Central Licence is issued by FSSAI’s regional office.
Confirm the office that covers your ward with the Designated Officer before filing — jurisdictions inside a city change.
Pune in practice
Pune splits between two very different files: food processing units on the Chakan–Ranjangaon belt, which are manufacturing kinds of business (the category you register under) with layout plans, water tests and FSMS to show, and a dense café and cloud-kitchen market in the city where most premises sit under the Registration or State band.
- Every premises needs its own licence — a second outlet is a second file, not an amendment
- Operating in two or more states adds a head-office Central Licence on top of the state licences
Three things that decide how this one goes.
FSSAI Kind of Business eligibility table, updated 01.04.2026 · FSSAI order of 13.03.2026, thresholds in force 01.04.2026
Manufacturing files here are decided on the plant paperwork: the layout plan with the equipment list, a water test from a notified laboratory, the FSMS plan, and medical fitness records for handlers. Cafés and cloud kitchens rarely see an inspection before grant; a Chakan or Ranjangaon unit usually does.
- A manufacturing unit is scrutinised on its layout plan and water test — prepare both before filing
- Contract manufacturing: the packer’s licence number goes on the pack, and yours may too
- A café that starts selling packaged goods needs the retail kind of business added

FSSAI licensing in Pune — quick answers
Does a Pune food processing unit need an inspection before grant?
For a State or Central Licence, a premises inspection is common. What is checked is what your layout plan and equipment list claim — so file a plan that matches the floor.
Who grants the licence in Pune?
The same Maharashtra FDA structure as the rest of the state: the Designated Officer for your area for Registration, the state authority for a State Licence.
How long does an FSSAI licence take in Pune?
Registration is often granted within a few working days. A State or Central Licence is scrutinised and may be inspected, so plan for a few weeks — and longer if the officer raises a query. Most delays we see are document problems that could have been fixed before filing.
Is the government fee different from state to state?
No. ₹100 a year for Registration, ₹5,000 for a State Licence and ₹7,500 for a Central Licence are national. What varies is which office handles your file and how quickly it moves.
