STEPS FOR GETTING THE FSSAI LICENSE

One can file the FSSAI application directly with the government. The process is long and requires 30-60 days to get completed:
  • Step 1 :-

    Fill FSSAI form A on FSSAI website and make the payment for FSSAI application at the FBO nearby your locality.

  • Step 2 :-

    Once the payment confirmation is reflected in your FSSAI account, you need to file Form B with the government. There are multiple declarations and resolutions that need to be filed with your application. E.g., board resolution, owner self-declaration. These declarations should ideally be prepared by a company secretary.

  • Step 3 :-

    You will then need to follow-up with the government department for an update on your application. The government may send back your application for edits – if you fail to respond with 15 days of the application, then your application will be rejected.

  • Step 4 :- Trademark registration

    The government department will take 45-60 working days to completely review your application and approve the same.
