What it is and how we handle it

The central licence is FSSAI's top tier. Turnover is the main test since the April 2026 revision, but certain activities are central-category whatever their size — food import is the most common example — and businesses operating in more than one state often need a central licence for their head office.

Applications go to the central licensing authority (a FSSAI regional office) through FoSCoS. Manufacturing units must submit a food safety management plan and laboratory test reports, and premises can be inspected before grant.

Because the central licence carries the most scrutiny, product categorisation, the FSMS plan and the technical documents need to be right before filing; corrections later mean a modification application.

Does every importer need a central licence?

₹7,500 per year per premises.
We have plants in two states. Do we need a central licence?
Each plant needs its own licence based on its own turnover and activity. Businesses operating in more than one state typically also need a central licence for the head office.

For manufacturing applications FSSAI may ask for product and water test reports from an NABL-accredited or FSSAI-notified laboratory; we tell you which apply to your products.

Most of Connecticut is on Eastern time, so it runs behind India by 9.5 hours in summer and 10.5 hours in winter. We work mostly over WhatsApp and email, so you don't need to match Indian office hours.
Can I get FSSAI Central Licence done while living in Connecticut?
Yes. This is India-side work, so it is done online and you don't need to travel. If a document must be attested abroad, we tell you upfront whether a notary, a state apostille or an Indian consulate is needed.
