— Amit Gupta
Meghalaya's economy has historically leaned on coal mining, alongside agriculture and a growing tourism sector centred on Shillong and the state's well-known waterfalls and living root bridges. That base of food businesses across Meghalaya — from small vendors to large manufacturers — all need some tier of FSSAI licensing.
StartRight4U helps food businesses based in Meghalaya determine the right FSSAI tier and manages the complete licensing process.
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
