When Should You Renew Your FSSAI License?

Timely renewal of your FSSAI license is essential to avoid penalties and ensure uninterrupted business operations.

• ✔ Renewal can be applied up to 180 days before expiry
• ✔ It is recommended to apply at least 30–60 days before expiry
• ✔ Late renewal attracts a ₹100 per day penalty, subject to applicable regulatory limits

Why FSSAI Renewal Is Important

FSSAI licenses are issued for a fixed validity period (1–5 years) and must be renewed before their expiry date to continue operating legally.

Failure to renew your FSSAI license on time can lead to serious legal and operational consequences:

• ❌ Heavy late fees and penalties
• ❌ Suspension or cancellation of your FSSAI license
• ❌ Temporary or permanent business shutdown
• ❌ Delisting from online marketplaces such as Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon and other platforms
