Why this matters for restaurant owners
Restaurants face the most layered compliance in F&B — FSSAI (Basic / State / Central based on turnover), Trade Licence, Fire NOC, Music Licence (PPL + IPRS), GST (5% no-ITC standalone restaurant, 18% with-ITC if hotel-attached), Liquor Licence if serving alcohol, and pollution NOC for kitchens above set capacity. FilingLab handles end-to-end restaurant setup.
