FSSAI Renewal is the process of renewing your existing food license before it expires. All food businesses in India must renew their FSSAI Basic, State, or Central License on time to legally continue operations. Failure to renew the license before the expiry date can lead to penalties or even cancellation of the license. FSSAI recommends applying for renewal at least 30 days before expiration.

Why is FSSAI Renewal Important?

Renewing your FSSAI license is crucial for several reasons:

• Legal Compliance: Timely renewal ensures your food business remains compliant with food safety laws and regulations. Operating with an expired license can lead to penalties, legal action, or even closure of the business.

• Avoidance of Penalties: Failure to renew the license on time results in financial penalties, including daily late fees and, in severe cases, the need to apply for a new license, which is time-consuming and costly.

• Uninterrupted Business Operations: Renewal guarantees that your business can continue operating without disruption. An expired license can halt business activities until compliance is restored.

• Builds Consumer Trust: A valid FSSAI license signals to customers that your business prioritizes food safety and quality, enhancing your reputation and fostering customer loyalty.

• Market Credibility and Growth: Maintaining a current license is essential for expanding your business, accessing new markets, and supplying to larger retailers or government institutions.

• Consumer Safety: Regular renewal ensures your business continues to meet updated food safety standards, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses and protecting public health.

Documents Required for FSSAI Renewal

To renew your FSSAI license, you need to submit specific documents as part of the application process. 

The core documents required are:

• Previous FSSAI License: A copy of your existing or expiring FSSAI license.

• Duly Filled Application Form: Form A for Basic Registration or Form B for State/Central License renewal.

• Proof of Business Premises: Utility bill, rent agreement, property tax receipt, or NOC from the property owner.

• No Objection Certificate (NOC): From local authorities or the property owner, if applicable.
