Licence modification.
A licence that no longer describes the business is the most common problem we see — and it usually looks perfectly valid until someone checks it against the premises.

What’s at stakeA kind of business (the category you register under) that no longer matches what you do can be read as operating outside your licence — section 63 is up to 6 months and ₹5 lakh.

- You’ve added a product category, a line or a new activity (storage, export, online sale)

- Your turnover (total yearly sales) has crossed ₹1.5 crore or ₹50 crore and the tier must move
What we’ll need from you
- Your current certificate
- What has changed, in one line
- Proof of the changed item — new product list, equipment, partner or address documents

Who does what, in order.
Most of the work is ours. Where something needs you, it says so.
After it’s done
- Display board, labels and listings updated to match
- Calendar adjusted if new obligations came with the change
- WeRead the licence
We compare the kind of business, product categories and details on the certificate with what you do today.
- WeDecide the route
Modification, or a fresh application where the tier or premises changes.
- YouShare documents
Usually the changed item’s proof — new product list, equipment, partner documents.
- WeFile and follow up
Filed on your login with your approval; queries answered until the change is approved.
The mistakes we see most.
The licence covers the categories on it. A new line outside them is trading outside the licence.
Crossing ₹1.5 crore or ₹50 crore needs a fresh application under the new tier.
Name or address changes must flow through to the label, display board and platform listings.
Our promises, in writing
You get the fee before we start. If the scope changes, you hear it from us before it costs you.
We file on your own FoSCoS account with your approval. Nothing to hand back if you ever leave.

Each rule comes with its source, and we say clearly when something is our advice.
Common questions
Is moving to a bigger turnover band a modification?
No. Moving from Registration to a State Licence, or from State to Central, is a fresh application under the new tier. We time it so there is no gap.
Can I add products without telling FSSAI?
Product categories on the licence should match what you make. Adding a category is a modification; making something the licence doesn’t cover is exposure under the conditions of licence.
How long does a modification take?
It depends on whether the authority inspects. We file as soon as your documents are complete and follow up until approval.
Can I trade during the modification?
You can continue what the existing licence covers. Hold the new activity until the modification is approved.
