Any business that handles food — restaurants, cafes, cloud kitchens, kirana stores, food manufacturers, packagers, transporters — must hold a valid FSSAI license. There are three tiers: Basic Registration (turnover up to ₹12 lakh), State License (₹12 lakh - ₹20 crore), and Central License (above ₹20 crore or pan-India operations). FilingLab identifies the correct tier, completes documentation, and tracks the application.
Everything required for FSSAI Food License (Basic / State / Central). Government statutory fees (MCA stamp duty, trademark filing fee, etc.) are charged at actual cost and shown separately before payment.
