2026 update: Turnover limits were raised from 1 April 2026 (Basic up to ₹1.5 cr, State up to ₹50 cr). FSSAI licenses now have perpetual validity — but non-payment of the annual fee or missing the annual compliance report leads to automatic suspension. The 14-digit FSSAI number must be printed on packaging.

What Goes Wrong Without It
Heavy penalty
Operating without FSSAI can attract fines up to ₹5 lakh and even imprisonment.
Platform delisting
Swiggy / Zomato / Amazon block sellers without a valid FSSAI number.
Automatic suspension
Missing the annual fee or compliance report suspends the license under 2026 rules.
Loss of trust
No FSSAI number on the label damages credibility with buyers and stockists.
