Kolkata's long history as eastern India's principal trading and commercial hub, centred around Park Street and the Esplanade business district, keeps it a significant centre for company registrations and compliance filings. Businesses in Kolkata typically work with Kolkata-based CAs and compliance consultants familiar with the local West Bengal regulatory office, which shortens the back-and-forth that often slows down applications filed without local support.

If you're based in Kolkata, StartRight4U manages the complete FSSAI License process end to end, from paperwork to final approval.

Understanding the FSSAI License

Under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, virtually every food business in India — manufacturing, processing, storing, distributing, or selling — needs FSSAI registration or licensing, structured into three tiers matched to business scale: Basic Registration, State License, and Central License.

Which Tier Applies to Your Business

  • Basic Registration: turnover up to ₹12 lakh — small retailers, hawkers, home-based food operations
  • State License: turnover between ₹12 lakh and ₹20 crore — restaurants, mid-sized manufacturers, distributors
  • Central License: turnover above ₹20 crore, importers, and multi-state businesses regardless of size

Why This License Is Essential

Operating a food business without the correct FSSAI registration or license is a criminal offence under the Act, with penalties that can extend to imprisonment for serious violations. It's also foundational for opening a business bank account, joining food delivery platforms, and earning consumer trust.

Documents Needed

  • Business registration proof
  • Identity and address proof of the applicant
  • Food safety management plan matched to the tier
  • Business premises proof, where applicable
