FSMS plan & HACCP.
Every licence application needs an FSMS plan, and inspectors ask for the records it promises. A plan you can’t operate is worse than none.

What’s at stakeSchedule 4 (FSSAI’s hygiene rules) is a condition of your licence, not guidance. An inspection that finds no FSMS plan written for your kind of business (the category you register under) is a finding against a licence condition — and an improvement notice with a deadline follows (s.32).
Where the rule comes from
Schedule 4, FSS (Licensing & Registration) Regulations 2011

We quote the regulation behind every requirement. Where FSSAI has not said something clearly, we tell you it is our advice, not the law.

Inspectors ask for the records a plan promises. A plan nobody runs is worse than none.
A limit without a written response isn’t a control.

Common questions
Is HACCP mandatory?
An FSMS plan is part of a licence application. Full HACCP certification is voluntary, but high-risk categories and exporters are usually expected to have it.
Do small kitchens need one?
A licence application needs an FSMS plan. For a Registration, Schedule 4 Part I still sets the hygiene basics.
