About FSSAI Licence Renewal & Annual Fee
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Under FSSAI's 2026 reforms, licences and registrations stay valid as long as the annual fee is paid; missing the fee suspends the licence. If your licence on FoSCoS still shows a fixed expiry date, renew it before that date. Either way, the fee is ₹100 a year for basic registration, ₹2,000–₹5,000 for a state licence and ₹7,500 for a central licence.
Older FSSAI licences were issued for one to five years and had to be renewed before expiry, with a late fee for renewals filed in the last 30 days and lapse after expiry. FSSAI's 2026 reforms replaced periodic renewal with continuing validity linked to payment of the annual fee.
In practice two situations exist in 2026: licences that FoSCoS shows under the new annual-fee model, and older licences still displaying an expiry date until they migrate. We check which applies to each of your premises and either pay the annual fee or file the renewal on time.
If a licence has already lapsed or been suspended for non-payment, you must stop operations at that premises until it is restored or a fresh licence is issued — selling food without a valid licence is an offence under Section 63 of the FSS Act.
| Model from 2026 | Continuing validity subject to annual fee payment |
|---|---|
| Basic registration fee | ₹100 per year |
| State licence fee | ₹2,000–₹5,000 per year |
| Central licence fee | ₹7,500 per year |
