FSSAI Basic Registration

Mandatory for small-scale food businesses with turnover up to ₹12 lakhs/year
Issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI)
Applies to home-based kitchens, food stalls, petty manufacturers, and local food sellers

FSSAI Basic Registration is essential for any food-related business in India that operates on a small scale. Whether you’re running a home tiffin service, tea stall, packaged snack unit, sweet shop, or food cart, this certification gives your business the legal right to operate and sell food safely under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.

It not only protects you from legal trouble but also builds consumer trust by showing that your food meets FSSAI-approved hygiene and quality standards. This certification is also required by most online platforms like Swiggy, Zomato, and Amazon for sellers — making it essential for even small or home-run food brands to grow.

At Startup Bharat, we handle everything from document filing to license issuance — helping you get certified quickly and correctly.
