If our experts find your requirement can't be fulfilled as scoped, you get a full refund of the professional fee — no questions, no fine print. Government charges already paid are pass-through and go to the government, not us.
Every quote shows the professional fee, government charges and taxes as separate lines — you approve the full breakup in writing before paying anything.
Stamp duty, filing fees and department charges go to the government, not to us. They vary by state, capital and applicant count, so we show them separately for your case.
The free consultation comes first. You only pay after you have seen the exact scope, the exact breakup and the expected timeline — no surprises later.

Overview
FSSAI Registration
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) was set up under Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, in order to ensure quality of food items available in Indian markets, in terms of hygiene, safety and fitness for human consumption. Any commercial entity involved in food manufacturing, processing, packaging and/or distributing is required to obtain an FSSAI license or registration. FSSAI is an agency of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India with headquarters in New Delhi and 8 regional offices across India, 4 referral laboratories and 72 local laboratories located throughout India. Each food handling location is required to have a separate FSSAI license. Therefore, a firm may have to obtain multiple licenses if they are operating in multiple location.
Licenses are issued at State-level and Central-level. For an annual turnover below 12 Lakhs, a basic Registration will suffice. Small businesses like restaurants, having a turnover between 12 Lakhs to 20 Crores, can make do with state license, while large-sized food manufacturers making above 20 Crores, annually need a central license for operation. Hawkers, vendors, small-scale and cottage industries, temporary stallholders etc. are exempted from the requirement of an FSSAI license or registration. The license has to be renewed periodically as per its validity and requirements of business. However it can be applied for a maximum period of 5 years.
Types of FSSAI License
1. FSSAI Registration
FSSAI Registration is required for the units having turnover upto 12 lakh in a year. Registration is provided by the state Government. Food operators like small retailers, transporters, distributors or petty food manufacturers need FSSAI Registration.
2. FSSAI State License
State License is required for the small and medium sized vendors having turnover more than 12 lakh limited to 20 crore annually and operating in only 1 State.
3. FSSAI Central License
Central License is needed where the turnover increases more than 20 crore annually and is applicable for Large manufacturers, importers, 100% export-oriented units etc. Central license in issued by Central Detpartment.

Documents
Documents required for FSSAI basic registration
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
