How it works
A 30-minute call confirms whether you need Basic Registration, a State Licence, or a Central Licence — based on turnover, location, and business type (manufacturer, packager, re-packer, wholesaler, retailer, distributor, transporter, or e-commerce).
We prepare Form B with declarations and supporting documents, then file the application via the FoSCoS portal and handle queries from FSSAI.
The licence issues and you go to market. For State and Central holders we set up annual return reminders and manage the Form D1 / D2 filing each year.
What it costs
FSSAI License (India) starts from $350. The right licence tier depends on your turnover and business type — Basic Registration, a State Licence, or a Central Licence. We confirm the tier on a free scoping call, then quote a flat fee up front. FSSAI government fees are separate and passed through at cost.
What's included
FSSAI government fees and annual-return government charges are passed through at cost. Following the 2026 reform, FSSAI licences carry perpetual validity with no periodic renewal fee.

Why GTC
We map your turnover and business type to the correct tier — Basic Registration, State Licence, or Central Licence — so you apply once on the right track and avoid a refile.
Form B, food-category classification, declarations, and supporting documents are prepared and filed through the FoSCoS portal, with FSSAI queries handled for you.
State and Central holders file Form D1 or D2 by 31 May each year. We set up reminders and manage the filing so the licence stays in good standing.
Premises layout, water-test report, equipment list, and FBO identity and address proofs are assembled to FSSAI requirements before anything is submitted.
