Here is the current fee structure.<\/p>\n<h3>Basic Registration Fees<\/h3>\n<p>The government fee for Basic Registration is \u20b9100 per year. You can register for 1 year up to a maximum of 5 years. The total fee scales linearly \u2014 \u20b9100 for 1 year, \u20b9200 for 2 years, and so on.<\/p>\n<h3>State License Fees<\/h3>\n<p>State License fees vary based on your business type:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Small restaurants and food vendors:<\/strong> \u20b92,000 per year<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medium manufacturers and processors:<\/strong> \u20b93,000 per year<\/li>\n<li><strong>Large storage and transporters:<\/strong> \u20b95,000 per year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Central License Fee<\/h3>\n<p>The Central License has a flat government fee of \u20b97,500 per year regardless of business type. This covers importers, exporters, large manufacturers, and operators supplying food to government agencies.<\/p>\n<h3>Professional Service Charges<\/h3>\n<p>Most businesses hire a consultant or service provider to handle the application. Professional charges are separate from government fees and typically range from \u20b91,500 to \u20b95,000 for Basic Registration and \u20b93,000 to \u20b910,000 for State and Central Licenses.<\/p>\n<p>Always insist on a breakdown that separates government fees from professional charges before making any payment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Complete breakdown of government fees for every FSSAI category \u2014 including per-year cost, duration options and what you actually pay versus what consultants charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":32,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fees"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>FSSAI License Fees Explained: Basic, State &amp;
