State Food License Renewal: Ensuring Compliance for Your Food Business

Renewing your State Food License is a critical step in maintaining the legality and operational continuity of your food business in India. Issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), this license is mandatory for establishments involved in the manufacturing, processing, packaging, or distribution of food products.

Why Timely Renewal Matters

The FSSAI license is typically valid for one year. To avoid penalties and ensure uninterrupted business operations, it's advisable to initiate the renewal process well before the expiration date. Delaying the renewal can lead to fines and potential business disruptions.​

Steps to Renew Your State Food License
  • Log into the FSSAI Portal: Access the official FSSAI Food Licensing and Registration System (FLRS) portal.​
  • Select 'Renewal' Option: Navigate to the 'Renewal' section and choose 'Apply for Renewal of Registration.'​
  • Enter License Details: Provide your existing license number and business information.​
  • Upload Required Documents: Submit necessary documents, including the Food Safety Management System (FSMS) certificate, updated business details, and any modifications to the license.​
  • Pay Renewal Fee: The system will calculate the renewal fee. If renewing after the expiration date, a late fee of ₹100 per day will apply. Renewal after 90 days incurs a penalty of three times the annual fee; after 180 days, five times the annual fee.​​
  • Submit Application: Review all information and submit your application.​
  • Await Approval: FSSAI authorities will process your application. Once approved, download and print your renewed license.
Documents Typically Required
  • No Objection Certificate (NOC), if applicable​
  • Photographs of authorized signatories
  • Any additional documents as specified by FSSAI
Avoiding Common Pitfalls
  • Timely Renewal: Start the renewal process at least 30 days before the license expiration to avoid late fees.​
  • Accurate Documentation: Ensure all submitted documents are up-to-date and correctly uploaded.​
  • Compliance with FSMS: Maintain a robust Food Safety Management System to meet FSSAI standards.
