FSSAI Licence Renewal in India
An FSSAI licence or registration must be renewed before its expiry date — operating with an expired FSSAI licence is a compliance violation that can result in suspension or penalties.
FSSAI licence renewed before the deadline.
FSSAI licences and registrations must be renewed through the FoSCoS portal. Renewal should be initiated sufficiently before expiry, within the period permitted on the FoSCoS portal. Delayed or post-expiry renewal is subject to the prevailing FSSAI procedure, additional fees and eligibility conditions. SS Marks assists with tracking and filing, subject to timely documents and portal processing.

Frequently asked questions
When should I apply for FSSAI renewal?
Renewal should be initiated sufficiently before expiry, within the period permitted on the FoSCoS portal. Delayed or post-expiry renewal is subject to the prevailing FSSAI procedure, additional fees and eligibility conditions.
Can I continue operating while my renewal is pending?
If you file the renewal application before the expiry date, you can continue operating while the renewal is being processed. If you miss the expiry and have not filed, the licence is no longer valid.
What if I want to add new food products at renewal?
You can include changes to your food product list, premises capacity or other details in the renewal application. Significant changes may trigger a fresh inspection.
Is the renewal fee the same as the original licence fee?
Contact us to know the exact pricing for your requirement.
Does renewal change my FSSAI licence number?
No. The FSSAI licence number remains the same after renewal — only the validity period is extended.
