What Is FSSAI Compliance Support?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
FSSAI Compliance Support is a year-round managed service where our team handles every recurring FSSAI obligation — renewal, annual return, labelling, hygiene records and inspections — so your food licence never lapses.
The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 and its Regulations require every food business operator to hold a valid FSSAI Registration or Licence, file the prescribed annual return (Form D-1), comply with labelling and display rules, follow the Schedule 4 food-safety management (hygiene) requirements, and maintain records available for inspection.
Administered by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the State Food Safety Departments, with all applications, renewals, returns and modifications filed on the FoSCoS portal (foscos.fssai.gov.in).
This is a continuing engagement, not a single filing. An FSSAI Registration or Licence itself is issued for 1 to 5 years; our support runs for as long as you retain us, keeping every renewal and annual obligation current.

Talk to an Expert →Why Do Food Businesses Need Ongoing FSSAI Compliance Support?
Getting an FSSAI number is only the start — the law imposes recurring obligations, and missing any one of them can suspend your licence or trigger penalties. Here is why an ongoing retainer matters.
-
01
Never Miss a Renewal
An FSSAI Registration or Licence is valid for 1–5 years. Operating on an expired licence is treated as operating without one. We track expiry and renew ahead of time on FoSCoS.
-
02
Annual Return Filed on Time
Most licence holders must file the annual return (Form D-1) every year. Late filing attracts a daily penalty. We prepare and file it so the deadline is never missed.
-
03
Label & Display Compliance
Packaging and premises display must meet FSSAI labelling and display regulations. We review your labels and signage so you avoid mislabelling notices and product recalls.
-
04
Schedule 4 Hygiene (FSMS)
Food businesses must follow the Schedule 4 food-safety management and hygiene requirements. We help you put the checklists, self-inspection and records in place.
-
05
Inspection-Ready Records
Food-safety officers can inspect at any time. We help you keep purchase, testing, pest-control and training records ready so an inspection goes smoothly.
-
06
Notices Handled for You
If an improvement notice or show-cause notice arrives, our team drafts the response and coordinates corrective action within the given timeline.
