FSSAI Central License

FSSAI Central License is a recurring obligation — licenses have to be renewed periodically, returns have to be filed, and any change in business activity has to be reported to the licensing authority. Our team manages the entire lifecycle.

Sector-specific licenses carry the heaviest penalties for non-compliance — seizure of goods, cancellation of permits, or even prosecution in some cases. We treat every license as critical infrastructure for your business and run a renewal calendar that escalates reminders well before the expiry window.

Each license comes with a digital reminder calendar synced to your inbox 90, 60, and 30 days before the renewal due date.
