FSSAI licence renewal
An FSSAI registration or licence is valid for the period chosen when it was issued – one to five years. It must be renewed before it expires. A late renewal attracts a late fee, and once the licence lapses the business must stop food operations until a fresh licence is obtained.
FSSAI modification
Apply for a modification when something on the licence changes:
- Address of the premises (within the same authority)
- Food categories or products
- Production capacity or turnover band
- Name or constitution of the business, or the nominated person
A move to a different licensing authority, or an upgrade from registration to a State or Central licence, may need a fresh application instead.
