Starting a food business? Don’t skip FSSAI Basic Registration – it’s legally required and helps grow your brand reputation.

Small food businesses like home bakers, tiffin services, food stall owners, and online food sellers need to register with FSSAI under the Basic category. It’s the easiest and most affordable compliance step for operations with low annual turnover.

The process can be completed online through the FSSAI portal. You’ll need to submit a few documents and fill out the application form. With approval, you'll receive an FSSAI certificate – valid for 1 to 5 years, and renewable.
