ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your questions,
answered.

Need help with your specific situation?

Talk to our team
Is registration the same as a licence?

They are distinct categories. Start with the revised order and your actual facts instead of selecting the cheapest-looking form.

Can I ignore the old certificate after the thresholds change?

No. Check its recorded status and any migration or modification action. Retain the existing certificate and acknowledgement trail.

References: FSSAI: 2026 licensing reform FAQs, 27 March 2026

Which documents should I send first?

Begin with a description of the operator, premises, activities and existing record. Use an agreed secure channel for identity and business documents, not a general enquiry.

Can you promise approval or a fixed authority date?

No. The authority controls scrutiny and its decision. The written scope should distinguish preparation, submission and any included clarification work.

Are inspection and laboratory work included?

Only if expressly included in the engagement. Premises remediation, testing, product assessment and on-site work must be identified and priced separately.

What evidence should I retain at handover?

Keep the approved submission, application reference, payment record, queries, responses and resulting status or certificate. Record unresolved actions with an owner.
