FSSAI License Renewal: Ensuring Compliance and Business Continuity | Clarvex

Introduction

Renewal of an FSSAI License is a legal requirement for all Food Business Operators (FBOs). Every food license—whether Basic Registration, State License, or Central License—must be renewed before its expiry to ensure uninterrupted business operations.
  • Basic FSSAI Registration → Renew at least 30 days before expiry
  • State & Central FSSAI Licenses → Renew at least 60 days before expiry
Failure to renew on time results in:
  • A penalty of ₹100 per day until expiry
  • Automatic cancellation of the license by FSSAI if not renewed within the prescribed time
The validity of an FSSAI License ranges from 1 to 5 years, depending on the business scale.
