Who must file the FSSAI annual return?
Food businesses holding a State or Central FSSAI licence that manufacture, import, label or pack food must file an annual return in Form D1, giving product-wise details of the food handled in the previous financial year. Manufacturers of milk and milk products also file a half-yearly return in Form D2.
Due date and late fee

|---|---|---|
| Form D1 | Financial year (April–March) | 31 May |
| Form D2 (milk products) | Half-yearly | As prescribed for each half-year |
A late fee is charged for each day of delay, and repeated non-filing can affect the renewal of your licence.
