FSSAI Basic Registration is a statutory requirement under Section 31(1) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, administered by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). It is legally mandatory for all petty food business operators (FBOs), startups, home bakers, hawkers, small retail grocers, and food stalls whose annual turnover does not exceed ₹12 Lakhs. Operating any food-related business in India without a valid 14-digit FSSAI registration number is a criminal offense punishable with severe financial penalties up to ₹5 Lakhs and imprisonment under statutory food safety laws.
Beyond legal compliance, holding a valid FSSAI registration is the primary trust mark for Indian consumers. It officially certifies that your food products conform to the hygiene and safety standards mandated by the Government of India. In the modern digital economy, possessing an FSSAI certificate is also an essential prerequisite for listing on major online food delivery aggregators such as Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, and Zepto, as well as e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart.

The statutory government fee for FSSAI Basic Registration is ₹100 per year. You can apply for a validity period ranging from 1 year (₹100) up to 5 years (₹500 maximum government fee).
The distinction is primarily based on annual turnover and production capacity.
