Every FSSAI application can involve up to three separate costs. Once you understand each one, you'll know exactly what you're paying for.
A statutory fee fixed by FSSAI based on your license category. New registrations and licenses now have perpetual validity, so you pay this fee annually to keep it active rather than upfront for a fixed number of years. It's the same regardless of who files it.
Covers the assessment, document prep, filing, and follow-up if you'd rather have us handle it than apply yourself.
Case-specific costs like water testing for manufacturing units, or extra documentation. Only applies to certain business types.
Government fees go up with license category and business scale. We're using a relative scale here since FSSAI revises the exact figures from time to time. Get your exact fee with a personalised quote below.
| License Category | Turnover Range | Government Fee Level | Documentation Effort | Typical Validity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Registration | Up to ₹1.5 crore | Lowest | Minimal | Perpetual |
| State License | ₹1.5 crore to ₹50 crore | Mid-tier | Moderate | Perpetual |
| Central License | Above ₹50 crore | Highest | Extensive | Perpetual |
FSSAI sets and revises these government fee figures directly. We don't publish specific rupee amounts here since they can change, so request a personalised quote for the exact, current fee that applies to your business.
Basic, State, or Central. Each one sits in its own government fee slab.
New registrations and licenses carry perpetual validity now, with an annual fee. If you're renewing an older license from before April 2026, it may still run on its original 1- to 5-year term until that expires.
If you run multiple locations, there can be extra per-premises considerations.
Manufacturing units sometimes need extra steps like water testing, which adds to the other charges.
If your business needs an Import Export Code, that's one more document to sort.
A fresh application, a renewal for an older license, or a modification can each carry a different fee.

FSSAI sets and revises these figures on its own schedule. If we published fixed numbers here, they'd risk going stale. We confirm the current, exact fee as part of your personalised quote.
Yes. The government fee is fixed by FSSAI based on your category, whether you file it yourself or use professional assistance. The rate doesn't change either way.
For new registrations and licenses, this doesn't really apply anymore. Since April 2026, FSSAI grants perpetual validity, so there's no more choosing a 1- to 5-year term. You pay an annual fee to keep it active instead. If you're renewing an older license still on its original term, the old per-year math can still apply until that renewal happens.
No. Any case-specific charges, such as water testing for manufacturing units, are flagged and explained before your application is filed, not afterward.
Fee structures can differ between a new application, a renewal, and a modification. We'll confirm exactly what applies to your specific situation.
No guesswork. Tell us about your business and get a clear, itemised fee breakdown before you commit to anything.
