Which FSSAI Are You Renewing?
All three types of FSSAI credentials require renewal before expiry. Select yours below — TaxClue handles the complete renewal process online.
Basic FSSAI Registration Renewal
For small food businesses — home bakers, street vendors, small cafés, kirana stores with turnover below ₹12 lakh/year.
- Renewal for 1–5 years at ₹100/year
- Certificate valid immediately on renewal
- Same 14-digit number retained
- No inspection required
- 100% online via FoSCoS portal
State FSSAI License Renewal
For mid-size restaurants, food processors, and distributors with turnover ₹12 lakh to ₹20 crore operating within one state.
- Renewal for 1–5 years
- Updated documents may be required
- State Food Safety Commissioner processes
- Inspection possible during renewal
- File 30 days before expiry
Central FSSAI License Renewal
For large manufacturers, importers, exporters, and multi-state operators with turnover above ₹20 crore. Critical — no lapse allowed.
- File minimum 60 days before expiry
- FSMS plan update may be needed
- DO inspection during renewal possible
- Importers: lapse = customs rejection
- TaxClue files 60 days in advance
When Should You File for Renewal?
FSSAI regulations require renewal applications to be filed before the certificate expires. Late or lapsed renewals attract late fees and penalties — and for importers, mean immediate customs shutdown.
- 🟢30+ days before expiry: Ideal renewal window. Zero late fees, smooth processing, no compliance gap.
- 🟡7–30 days before expiry: Urgent but manageable. We file same-day. Minor delays possible.
- 🟠0–7 days before expiry: Emergency mode. File immediately. Possible short lapse period during processing.
- 🔴Already expired: File immediately with late fee. Operating without valid FSSAI — ₹5–10 lakh penalty risk every day.
What Happens If Your FSSAI Certificate Expires?
An expired FSSAI certificate is treated the same as operating without one under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 — with immediate and severe consequences.
- ₹5–10L Penalty for operating food business without valid FSSAI
- Closure Food Safety Officer can seal and shut premises on inspection
- Recall Products recalled and destroyed — no compensation
- Delisted Zomato, Swiggy, Amazon delist products immediately on expiry
- Customs Importers: shipments rejected at port, goods returned or destroyed
- Criminal Unsafe food causing injury — up to life imprisonment under FSS Act

⚠️ FSSAI Penalty Structure — Know What You Risk
Under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, operating with an expired or lapsed FSSAI certificate attracts the same penalties as operating without one entirely.
| Violation | Section | Penalty | Imprisonment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating without valid FSSAI | Section 55 | Up to ₹5 Lakh | No |
| Selling substandard food | Section 51 | Up to ₹5 Lakh | No |
| Food causing injury (non-grievous) | Section 53 | Up to ₹3 Lakh | 6 months |
| Food causing grievous injury | Section 52 | Up to ₹5 Lakh | 1 year |
| Unsafe food causing death | Section 59 | ₹10 Lakh+ | Life imprisonment |
| Obstructing FSSAI officer | Section 56 | ₹50,000–₹1 Lakh | 3 months |
Prevention is ₹100: Basic FSSAI renewal costs just ₹100/year in government fees. The maximum penalty for non-compliance is ₹10 lakh. Renewing on time with TaxClue is the only sensible choice.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
For Basic Registration and State License: apply at least 30 days before expiry. For Central License: apply at least 60 days before expiry since processing takes 30–60 working days including inspection. TaxClue automatically tracks your expiry and sends reminders at 120, 60, and 30 days — and files your renewal at the 30-day mark unless you instruct otherwise.
Yes, you can still file for renewal even after expiry — but you will be charged a late fee in addition to the regular government fee. More importantly, operating your food business between the expiry date and the renewal approval date is technically illegal and exposes you to penalties. File immediately if yours has lapsed. TaxClue can expedite the process.
No. Your 14-digit FSSAI registration or license number remains the same after renewal. Only the validity period and date are updated. You can continue using the same number on your packaging, signage, and online platforms without any changes.
5-year renewal is almost always the best value. For Basic Registration, it costs only ₹500 total government fee vs ₹100/year if you renew annually. For State and Central licenses, a 5-year renewal gives you 5 years of compliance certainty and eliminates the annual admin burden. TaxClue recommends 5-year renewal for all businesses unless you anticipate a category upgrade (e.g., from Basic to State) within the year.
