Frequently asked questions
How many days before expiry should I renew my FSSAI license?
FSSAI Renewal must be filed on FoSCoS 2.0 at least 30 days before the expiry date printed on your certificate. Filing after the 30-day buffer attracts a late fee of ₹100 per day under Section 31 of the FSSAI Act, 2006 until the license is fully lapsed.
Does the 14-digit FSSAI number change after renewal?
No. FSSAI Renewal keeps the same 14-digit license number — only the validity period is extended. This ensures continuity for product labels, aggregator listings, and existing compliance records under FSSAI norms.
What is the penalty for late FSSAI renewal?
Under Section 31 of the FSSAI Act, 2006 read with FSSAI regulations, late FSSAI Renewal attracts a penalty of ₹100 per day after the 30-day buffer period. Continued operation after full lapse is punishable under Section 63 with a fine up to ₹5 lakh and 6 months imprisonment.
Can I renew FSSAI Basic Registration, State License, and Central License online?
Yes. All three tiers — Basic Registration (Form A), State License (Form B), and Central License (Form B) — are renewed online on FoSCoS 2.0, the upgraded FSSAI portal launched in 2024. FinTax24 handles filing for every tier.
How long is FSSAI Renewal valid?
FSSAI Renewal can be filed for 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, or 5 years. Most FBOs choose 5 years for compliance continuity and lower annual cost. Multi-state and import-export operators usually prefer 5-year renewal cycles.
What documents are needed for FSSAI Renewal?
You need your existing 14-digit FSSAI number, latest PAN, GST, address proof, product list, water analysis report, and details of any changes since last filing. FinTax24 shares a tailored renewal checklist based on your tier and changes.
What is FoSCoS 2.0 and how does it support FSSAI Renewal?
FoSCoS 2.0 is the upgraded Food Safety Compliance System launched by FSSAI in 2024. All renewals — Basic, State, and Central — are filed exclusively on FoSCoS 2.0 with integrated fee payment, inspection scheduling, and acknowledgement receipt generation.
Can I operate my food business while FSSAI renewal is in process?
Yes, you can operate until the original expiry date as long as the renewal was filed within the 30-day buffer and the FSSAI portal acknowledgement is preserved. After expiry, any food business activity without a valid license is punishable under Section 63.
