Meaning & Eligibility
What is FSSAI Basic Registration?
FSSAI Basic Registration is the mandatory entry-level food safety certification for small food businesses in India. If your business has an annual turnover of up to ₹12 lakhs, you are required to obtain this registration to operate legally and comply with FSSAI regulations.
This registration applies to petty food manufacturers, small traders, street food vendors, hawkers, home-based kitchens, and other food businesses with limited scale. It serves as official recognition from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) that your business adheres to basic food safety standards.
All new applications are now processed online through the official FoSCoS FSSAI portal, ensuring a smooth, transparent, and time-efficient registration process.
