FSSAI Registration in Broadway, Chennai 600001

Broadway (PIN 600001) falls under the Broadway Division of the Chennai North, the jurisdiction that handles statutory matters for businesses at this PIN. Businesses registered in Broadway share the Chennai North jurisdiction, and their statutory matters route through the same Broadway Division each time. For FSSAI Registration at PIN 600001, understanding the Broadway Division's documentation norms removes most of the friction from the process. Broadway is the central transport interchange for north Chennai with wholesale shops freight forwarders and budget hotels surrounding the bus terminus.

Most commerce in Broadway — invoices, expenses, purchases and statutory records — eventually surfaces in the FSSAI working file we maintain for clients here. Broadway sustains a high flow of commerce for a central transport and wholesale hub locality, and that flow is the raw material for the FSSAI files we close here. Freight and foot traffic from the Broadway Bus Terminus hub pull steady daily commerce through Broadway, so there is rarely a quiet filing month in this central transport and wholesale hub pocket. Commercial activity in Broadway runs high, so FSSAI volumes scale through peak months and we staff the Broadway desk accordingly.

The business mix in Broadway centres on transport, and that sector carries its own FSSAI Registration quirks we plan for in advance. transport units around Broadway share recurring FSSAI patterns — input-credit timing, vendor reconciliation, and sector-specific documentation. We have closed enough FSSAI Registration files for transport firms near Broadway to know where the department usually probes. FSSAI Registration for transport businesses in Broadway hinges on getting the sector's recurring entries right the first time.

From the first FSSAI Registration cycle, a Broadway engagement is set up to be audit-ready rather than reconstructed under pressure later. Fixed-fee scoping means a Broadway business knows the FSSAI Registration cost up front, with no surprise additions mid-engagement. The Broadway FSSAI Registration workflow is documented end-to-end: WhatsApp document intake, a working file, qualified review, and a filed acknowledgement back to you. Working papers for Broadway FSSAI Registration engagements stay archived and retrievable, which makes any later notice or query straightforward to answer.

From the same Broadway team we also serve Parrys Corner and other nearby localities without re-onboarding clients. Coverage from Broadway naturally extends to Parrys Corner, so group entities across the area share one FSSAI Registration workflow. Serving Broadway and Parrys Corner from one team keeps FSSAI Registration turnaround identical across the cluster. Group companies spread across Broadway and Parrys Corner consolidate their FSSAI under one engagement with us.

The FSSAI Registration mistakes we see most in Broadway are avoidable with disciplined intake, which our checklist enforces. Over several cycles in Broadway, the recurring FSSAI Registration issues cluster around a predictable short list we screen for early. Sector signals in Broadway — seasonal hospitality swings and peak-period volumes — shape how we schedule FSSAI work. Because we work repeatedly across Broadway, we can benchmark a new client's FSSAI Registration position against the locality norm.

For a new business incorporating in Broadway or shifting its principal place of business here, FSSAI Registration setup is one of the first things to get right. A startup setting up near Broadway Bus Terminus in Broadway gets a FSSAI foundation built for the Broadway Division from day one. Shifting principal place of business to Broadway means updating jurisdiction to the Chennai North, and we manage the paperwork end-to-end. Relocating a registered office into Broadway (PIN 600001) changes the assessing division, and we handle that FSSAI Registration transition cleanly.

People Also Ask — FSSAI in Broadway
Who needs FSSAI registration in Chennai?
Every food business operator — manufacturer, processor, packer, distributor, transporter, retailer, restaurant, caterer, e-commerce seller, importer or exporter — irrespective of turnover requires either Basic Registration or State or Central Licence under Section 31 of the FSS Act 2006. Even hawkers, push-cart vendors and home-based food units take Basic Registration in Form A.
How long does FSSAI licence take to issue?
Basic Registration is typically granted within 7 working days of FoSCoS submission. State and Central Licences take 30-60 working days subject to pre-licence inspection by the Designated Officer, water test report verification and FSMS plan acceptance. Deficiency replies within 30 days keep the application alive.
What is the FSSAI fee for State and Central Licence?
Government fee for State Licence ranges from ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 per year depending on capacity, and Central Licence is ₹7,500 per year. Basic Registration is ₹100 per year. Validity can be chosen from 1 to 5 years and the corresponding multiplied fee is paid on FoSCoS at application or renewal.
Can a home-based food business in Broadway get FSSAI registration?
Yes. A home-based or cottage food business with annual turnover up to ₹12 lakh takes Basic Registration in Form A. The residential premises must be supported by ownership proof or NoC from owner/society, photograph, ID of the FBO and a self-declaration of food safety compliant with Schedule 4 Part I.
What is the penalty for operating a food business without FSSAI licence?
Section 63 of the FSS Act 2006 prescribes imprisonment up to 6 months and fine up to ₹5 lakh for any person required to be licensed who carries on a food business without licence. Additionally Section 50, 52 and 58 attract independent penalties up to ₹5 lakh for substandard, misbranded and unsafe food.
Is FSSAI registration mandatory for online food sellers and aggregators?
Yes. Under FSSAI Direction dated 2 February 2018 and the FSS (Licensing and Registration) Amendment Regulations 2018, every e-commerce food business operator including aggregators, cloud kitchens and online sellers operating in two or more States requires Central Licence. The platform must also display the FSSAI number of every listed FBO.
What is the validity of FSSAI registration?

FSSAI registration and licence is valid for a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 5 years under Regulation 2.1.3(1) of FSS (Licensing and Registration) Regulations 2011. Most FBOs opt for 5-year tenure to economise on application overhead.

How do I renew FSSAI registration?

Apply for renewal on FoSCoS between 30 and 120 days before licence expiry under Regulation 2.1.3(3). Late renewal up to 90 days post-expiry attracts ₹100 per day surcharge. Operating beyond expiry is treated as unlicensed under Section 31, attracting Section 63 penalty.

What if my FSSAI licence expires?

If your FSSAI licence expires without renewal, you must stop food-business operations immediately. Operating on a lapsed licence is treated as unlicensed under Section 31 attracting Section 63 penalty up to ₹5 lakh and imprisonment up to 6 months on conviction.

Can I get FSSAI registration without a shop?

Petty FBOs like hawkers, food-truck operators and itinerant vendors can obtain Basic Registration by declaring administrative address in Form A and operational unit details such as vehicle RC, under Regulation 2.1.2 read with Schedule 3 Part III of FSS (Licensing) Regulations 2011.

What is FoSCoS in FSSAI?

FoSCoS is the Food Safety Compliance System — FSSAI's integrated online platform at foscos.fssai.gov.in for licence application, renewal, modification, annual return Form D-1 filing, inspection scheduling, and compliance correspondence with Designated Officers across India.

What is FSSAI registration and which tier applies

Turnover-based State Licence threshold

Where the FBO does not fall in any of the mandatory Central categories, the choice between Basic Registration, State Licence and Central Licence is driven by aggregate annual turnover computed at PAN-India level. Turnover up to twelve lakh attracts Form A Basic Registration; turnover from twelve lakh to twenty crore attracts Form B State Licence; turnover above twenty crore attracts Form B Central Licence. The aggregate turnover is computed on the financial-year basis ending 31 March. Mid-year crossing of a threshold triggers an obligation to upgrade within thirty days under Regulation 2.1.2(2). Failure to upgrade is treated as operating without correct licence and attracts Section 63 of the FSS Act.

Voluntary upgrade and group-entity structuring

Many FBOs voluntarily obtain a State Licence even when below the twelve-lakh threshold because aggregator platforms, e-commerce marketplaces and institutional buyers increasingly insist on State Licence as minimum tier. Voluntary upgrade does not, however, allow the FBO to evade the Central Licence threshold if capacity or category triggers it. Group-entity structuring — where a holding company holds the licence and operating subsidiaries handle distribution — must align with the legal definition of FBO under Section 3(1)(j) of the FSS Act, which is premises-specific. Each premises requires its own licence even if owned by the same legal entity.

Statutory framework under the FSS Act 2006

FSSAI registration in India is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006, which consolidated eight pre-existing food laws including the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act 1954, the Fruit Products Order 1955, the Milk and Milk Products Order 1992, the Vegetable Oil Products (Control) Order 1947 and others. Section 31(1) of the FSS Act mandates that no person shall commence or carry on any food business except under a licence or registration granted under the Act. The Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations 2011 operationalise this requirement and prescribe three tiers — Basic Registration for annual turnover up to twelve lakh, State Licence for turnover from twelve lakh to twenty crore, and Central Licence for turnover above twenty crore or for specified categories regardless of turnover. The 14-digit FSSAI Licence Number scheme codifies the licensing authority, year of issue and unique premises identifier and must be displayed prominently per Regulation 2.2.2(9) of the Packaging and Labelling Regulations 2011.

Comparative international food safety framework

US Food Safety Modernization Act 2011

The US Food Safety Modernization Act 2011 (FSMA) re-engineered US food safety from response to prevention. FSMA Section 415 requires every food facility supplying the US market — including foreign facilities — to register with FDA and to update registration every two years. FSMA Section 105 (Preventive Controls Rule) requires every facility to implement a written food safety plan analogous to HACCP. The Foreign Supplier Verification Programme (FSVP) under Section 301 requires US importers to verify that their foreign suppliers operate to US-equivalent standards. Indian exporters to the US must align with FSMA requirements in addition to FSS Act compliance, which is a frequent gap in mid-sized exporters.

WHO Global Strategy for Food Safety 2022-2030

The WHO Global Strategy for Food Safety 2022-2030, adopted by the 75th World Health Assembly in May 2022, provides the global blueprint for strengthening national food safety systems. The Strategy is built on five priority areas — strengthening food control systems, identifying emerging risks, increasing use of scientific evidence, encouraging multi-sectoral collaboration, and engaging international standards and approaches. FSSAI is the designated national focal point for the WHO Strategy in India and has aligned its work programme accordingly, including risk-based inspection, scientific panel framework, surveillance systems and capacity building of food handlers via FoSTaC. The Strategy emphasises that food safety is integral to UN Sustainable Development Goals 2, 3, 6 and 12.

Codex standards adoption and harmonisation

Section 16(1)(d) of the FSS Act 2006 obliges FSSAI to lay down standards in conformity with international standards including the Codex Alimentarius. The Codex standards adoption follows Codex Procedural Manual eight-step procedure with FSSAI Scientific Panels conducting the national risk assessment. As of 2024, FSSAI has adopted approximately seventy percent of Codex commodity standards into Indian food regulation, with the remainder either under deliberation or modified to reflect national dietary patterns. Where Indian standards diverge from Codex (e.g. higher tolerance for certain contaminants in spices), the divergence is notified to WTO under the SPS Agreement. Continued harmonisation is a stated FSSAI priority in the Strategic Plan 2024-2030.

Recent regulatory developments and amendments

Front-of-pack nutrition labelling (FOPNL)

FSSAI released a draft Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labelling (FOPNL) regulation in September 2022, proposing a star-rating system from one to five stars based on per-hundred-gram nutrient profile. The draft was placed before the WHO and underwent stakeholder consultation through 2023. The final regulation, expected in 2025-26, will mandate FOPNL display on pre-packaged food, prioritising HFSS products. FBOs are advised to begin nutrient-profile analysis of their portfolio in anticipation of mandatory rollout, to engage with reformulation strategies for HFSS products, and to prepare label-redesign costs in the budgeting cycle.

FoSCoS migration and aggregator integration

The Food Safety Compliance System (FoSCoS) superseded the legacy Food Licensing and Registration System (FLRS) in June 2020. FoSCoS is fully integrated with PAN, GSTN, MCA and IEC databases for auto-verification. Since 2022, FSSAI has signed Memoranda of Understanding with leading aggregators (Swiggy, Zomato) and marketplaces (Amazon, Flipkart) for SKU-level verification of FSSAI licence numbers, which has materially raised the cost of operating with mismatched or absent licences. The FoSCoS Branch Module 2022 simplified branch-licence management for multi-location FBOs. The roadmap continues with deeper aggregator integration and consumer-facing licence lookup.

Trans-fat phase-out and reformulation

The FSS (Food Products Standards) Regulations 2011, as amended in 2021, fix the trans-fat limit at three percent by mass of total fats from January 2022 and at two percent from January 2023, aligning India with the WHO global call for trans-fat elimination by 2023. The phase-out applies to all edible oils, fats and food products containing them. Bakeries, biscuit makers and processed-food manufacturers have had to undertake reformulation, often involving high-oleic oil substitution or enzymatic interesterification. FSSAI has published technical guidance for reformulation and has been one of the leading national regulators globally to achieve the WHO target.

Practical pathway to FSSAI compliance

Cost-benefit perspective and value of registration

The all-in cost of FSSAI compliance — government fees, FoSTaC training, FSMS implementation, sample testing, FoSCoS filings — is modest in relation to the value created. A correctly tiered FSSAI licence unlocks aggregator and marketplace onboarding, institutional B2B contracts, working-capital banking facilities, export and import eligibility, and consumer trust signalling through the 14-digit number on label. The reputational and continuity risk of operating without correct licence — Section 63 prosecution, aggregator delisting, customs hold, consumer-protection-act exposure — vastly exceeds the compliance cost. Treating FSSAI compliance as strategic investment rather than regulatory burden is the operating disposition of mature FBOs.

Tier-determination self-assessment

The first practical step is tier-determination — does the proposed FBO fall in a mandatory Central Licence category (Schedule 1 Part III), or does it sit in turnover-based licensing? The self-assessment requires (a) classifying the FBO activity (manufacturing, processing, trade, catering, storage, transport, import, export), (b) computing installed capacity, (c) projecting first-year aggregate turnover, and (d) checking against the threshold matrix. A defensible tier-determination memo signed by the proprietor or director, retained in the FBO file, is the FBO's first-line defence in any future Section 63 dispute on whether the correct tier was applied.

Pre-application document checklist

Once the tier is determined, the FBO should assemble the document set before initiating the FoSCoS application — KYC of authorised signatory, constitution document, premises proof, layout plan (for State and Central), equipment list (for State and Central), water-source potability report (for State and Central), FSMS plan summary (for State and Central), sectoral NOCs (BIS for water, APEDA for export, NPOP for organic etc), and FoSTaC supervisor certificate. Assembling the pack upfront avoids the back-and-forth with Designated Officer queries which is the single largest cause of delay in licence issuance.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Terms you will hear in this area — In Broadway, where wholesale trade businesses dominate the local compliance profile.

Adjudicating Officer

Officer not below the rank of Additional District Magistrate notified under Section 68 of the Act to adjudicate offences other than those punishable with imprisonment. The Adjudicating Officer holds hearings and imposes penalties under Sections 49 to 58.

Food Safety Appellate Tribunal

Tribunal constituted by the State Government under Section 70 to hear appeals from orders of the Adjudicating Officer. Appeals are filed within thirty days of communication of the order and proceedings follow summary procedure.

Fourteen-Digit FSSAI Number

Unique identifier printed on Form C and on every package of food sold by the licensee or registered FBO. The first digit denotes state, the next two digits indicate year of issue, and the remaining digits identify the premises and operator.

Annual Turnover

Aggregate value of all food sales of the FBO in a financial year computed across all premises. It is the critical determinant of the applicable licensing tier under Regulations 2.1.1, 2.1.2 and 2.1.3.

Twelve Lakh Threshold

Turnover ceiling for petty FBO eligibility under Regulation 2.1.1. Operators reaching this threshold during any financial year must apply for upgradation to state licence before continuing the business in the higher tier.

Twenty Crore Threshold

Upper turnover ceiling for state licence eligibility under Regulation 2.1.2. Crossing this turnover requires the operator to migrate to central licence under Regulation 2.1.3 by filing fresh Form B on FoSCoS.

Premises

Physical location declared in Form A or Form B from which the food business is carried on. Each premises requires a separate licence except where multiple food activities are carried on at the same address under Regulation 1.2.

Single Premises Rule

Principle derived from Regulation 1.2 that an FBO carrying on multiple food activities at the same address must obtain only one composite licence covering all activities, rather than separate licences for each activity.

Food Category

Classification of food products as per the Food Category System notified by the Authority. Each licence specifies the permitted food categories and the FBO cannot manufacture or trade in categories outside those endorsed on Form C.

Hygiene Rating

Voluntary five-star scheme launched in 2016 under which food service establishments are audited by empanelled agencies and given a public hygiene rating displayed at the premises and on the FoSCoS portal.

FoSTaC

Food Safety Training and Certification programme mandating training of at least one food safety supervisor per twenty-five food handlers. The trained supervisor is responsible for implementing food safety practices at the licensed premises.

Food Safety Supervisor

Designated person trained under FoSTaC who is responsible for day-to-day implementation of food safety controls at the licensed premises. The supervisor's certificate is uploaded on FoSCoS as part of renewal compliance.

How Broadway businesses typically avoid these: Closer to Broadway, the business activity radiating outward from Broadway Bus Terminus and nearby commercial pockets, which is why for Broadway businesses balancing growth ambitions with tight statutory compliance.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Broadway

How the local trade mix shapes this — In Broadway, where wholesale trade businesses dominate the local compliance profile; the business activity radiating outward from Broadway Bus Terminus and nearby commercial pockets.

Retail Chains and Supermarkets
Common issue: Multi-outlet retail chains and supermarkets — including hypermarkets, organised grocery and convenience stores — often operate on a centrally held FSSAI Central Licence at the corporate office address, with branch outlets uncovered. Regulation 2.1.2 read with FoSCoS Branch Module 2022 requires each branch outlet to hold its own State or Central Licence, with the corporate parent shown as the group entity. Failure to register branches has led to closure notices in metro raids of 2022-2024.
How we handle it: Obtain a Central Licence for the corporate office and a separate State or Central Licence for each retail branch based on its individual turnover. Use the FoSCoS Branch Module 2022 to declare branches under the parent CIN. Retain a master compliance calendar tracking each branch's licence renewal date and assigned Food Safety Supervisor.
Nutraceutical and Health Supplements
Common issue: Nutraceutical, health-supplement and functional-food manufacturers fall mandatorily under Central Licence regardless of turnover under Schedule 1, Part III, Sl. No. 12, and are additionally regulated by the FSS (Health Supplements, Nutraceuticals, Food for Special Dietary Use, Food for Special Medical Purpose, Functional Food and Novel Food) Regulations 2022. Operators frequently launch under a State Licence treating the product as a regular food, inviting product recall and Section 63 penalties.
How we handle it: Apply for Central Licence (Form B) with full product-composition disclosure. Each formulation must comply with the 2022 Regulation positive lists for vitamins, minerals, amino acids and botanicals. Where the ingredient is a novel food, prior approval is required under the Novel Food Approval Process. Maintain stability studies and shelf-life data per ICH Q1A(R2).
Food Importers
Common issue: Food importers are mandatorily under Central Licence regardless of turnover and must additionally route every consignment through the FSSAI Import Clearance System (FICS), which integrated with ICEGATE in 2018. Importers frequently attempt to clear consignments using a State Licence held for trade operations, leading to consignment hold at customs. The FSS (Import) Regulations 2017 require sample-based testing at notified Referral Food Laboratories and a No-Objection Certificate before customs release.
How we handle it: Obtain Central Licence (Form B) and link IEC code on FoSCoS. Pre-clear product-category notifications to FSSAI's Imports Division. Engage a Customs House Agent familiar with FICS workflow. Maintain a master file with Codex maximum residue limits and importing-country compliance attestations from the overseas supplier.
Mineral Water and Plant Operators
Common issue: Packaged drinking and mineral water plants are mandatorily Central Licence under Schedule 1, Part III, and also fall under BIS mandatory certification scheme. Many small plants commence operations on State Licence with BIS application pending and use the gap to ship to market, which has led to seizure of stock and criminal prosecution under Section 59 of the FSS Act for misleading consumers.
How we handle it: Sequence the approvals: (1) factory layout approval, (2) BIS application under IS 14543 / IS 13428, (3) FSSAI Central Licence application disclosing BIS application number, (4) market entry only after both licences are operative. Maintain raw-water source NABL test report, ozonation logs, UV-treatment logs and bottling-line sanitisation records per Schedule 4 Part II.
Edible Oil and Vanaspati
Common issue: Edible-oil refiners, vanaspati manufacturers and solvent-extraction units handling more than two metric tonnes per day are mandatorily Central Licence under Schedule 1, Part III, Sl. No. 4. The unit must additionally comply with the Vegetable Oil Products (Regulation) Order 2011 and the FSS (Prohibition and Restriction on Sales) Regulations 2011, which fix trans-fat limits at three percent by mass from January 2022 and at two percent from January 2023.
How we handle it: File Form B with Central Licensing Authority with refinery layout, deodoriser-temperature logs and trans-fat compliance attestation. Engage an FSSAI-notified Referral Food Laboratory for trans-fat quantification using AOCS Ce 1h-05 method. Retain six months of batch-wise trans-fat test reports in the FBO file.

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

A flavour of cases we handle nearby — In Broadway, where wholesale trade businesses dominate the local compliance profile.

Closure remedyHospitality

Closure order under Section 35 reversed on writ

Issue: A restaurant was visited with a Section 35 closure order by the Commissioner of Food Safety after a customer-illness incident without giving an opportunity of hearing. The closure carried a 7-day immediate effect, threatening loss of ₹18 lakh festival-week revenue and reputational damage. Section 35 requires recorded reasons but not necessarily prior hearing in emergency situations.
Approach: Filed an Article 226 writ petition before the Madras High Court challenging the closure on grounds of disproportionality and absence of any analytical link between the illness and the restaurant's food, supported by independent epidemiological inquiry, FoSTaC compliance records, and FSMS logs. Sought interim suspension of the closure order pending Commissioner's enquiry.
Outcome: High Court suspended closure within 4 days subject to undertaking on enhanced sampling regime; Commissioner's subsequent enquiry exonerated the restaurant; closure formally lifted in 28 days; festival-week revenue substantially salvaged.
Tier mis-classificationCloud Kitchen

Cloud kitchen mistakenly takes Basic instead of State License

Issue: A multi-brand cloud kitchen operating four virtual restaurants from a single commissary recorded combined platform receipts of ₹68 lakh in its first full year. The operator had taken a Basic Registration on the assumption that each brand's turnover stood alone. Aggregator settlement statements during a FSSAI random audit revealed PAN-level turnover above the ₹12 lakh threshold under Regulation 2.1.2, exposing the kitchen to Section 55 proceedings and potential delisting by Swiggy and Zomato compliance teams.
Approach: We filed Form B for a State License covering the commissary, declared all four brand names as additional trade names under Regulation 2.1.5, attached the lease deed, equipment list, water test report from a NABL lab and a food safety management plan. Simultaneously surrendered the Basic Registration under Regulation 2.1.8 to avoid duplicate-licence objection, and submitted a voluntary compliance letter to the Designated Officer citing inadvertent classification error, requesting compounding under Section 69.
Outcome: State License granted in 38 days; compounding order at ₹15,000 instead of ₹2 lakh Section 55 maximum; aggregator listings restored within 5 days of licence upload to FoSCoS.
Renewal lapseRestaurant

Renewal lapse leaves restaurant operating on expired licence

Issue: A standalone family restaurant with ₹3.2 crore turnover continued operations for 84 days after its State Licence expired. The expiry came to light when a customer food-poisoning complaint triggered a surprise inspection by the State Designated Officer. Regulation 2.1.3(3) requires renewal application 30 to 120 days before expiry, and operation on a lapsed licence is treated as unlicensed operation under Section 31(1), attracting the harsher Section 63 penalty including imprisonment up to 6 months.
Approach: Filed a fresh Form B since the 90-day late-renewal window had also closed, attached an affidavit explaining the renewal lapse, supported by the previous licence copy, paid the ₹100 per day late fee for the 84-day overrun plus prospective 5-year fees. Made a Section 69 compounding application to the Adjudicating Officer disclosing operations during the gap and supported by a clean inspection report from a Food Safety Officer engaged by us.
Outcome: New licence issued in 28 days; compounded penalty ₹35,000 against ₹5 lakh maximum and avoided prosecution; FBO advised to set FoSCoS auto-alerts for next expiry.
Marketplace complianceE-commerce

E-commerce seller delisted for missing FSSAI number on listing

Issue: A home-baked-goods seller listing on Amazon and Flipkart held a valid Basic Registration but did not display the 14-digit FSSAI number on the product page or on the consumer label. FSSAI Order F.No.15(31)/2020/FoSCoS dated 06-10-2020 mandates marketplace display, and Regulation 2.6.1(8) of Labelling Regulations 2011 mandates label display. The marketplaces issued a delisting notice giving 7 days to comply, which would have wiped out the seasonal pre-Diwali sales window.
Approach: Verified validity of the Basic Registration, drafted compliant label artwork showing the licence number in bold within a rectangular box per Regulation, helped the seller upload the licence PDF to the seller-central FSSAI section, and filed a request to upgrade to State License since projected turnover crossed ₹12 lakh during the festival quarter.
Outcome: Listings restored within 48 hours of label upload; State License granted in 22 days; seller cleared ₹38 lakh festival-season GMV without further interruption.

Why these Broadway engagements look the way they do: Closer to Broadway, the business activity radiating outward from Broadway Bus Terminus and nearby commercial pockets, which is why for Broadway businesses balancing growth ambitions with tight statutory compliance.

Common Questions

FSSAI FAQ — Broadway

Common questions from Broadway clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

School and college canteens, hostel mess and similar institutional caterers fall under Catering — Schedule 1 read with FSS (Safe Food and Balanced Diets for Children in Schools) Regulations 2020. Turnover up to ₹12 lakh — Basic; ₹12 lakh to ₹20 crore — State Licence; multi-state chains or above ₹20 crore — Central Licence. Compliance with Schedule 4 Part V (catering) is mandatory.
Under Regulation 2.1.7 read with the FSS (Licensing and Registration) Amendment Regulations 2021, renewal must be applied at least 30 days before expiry through FoSCoS in Form A or Form B as applicable. Renewal applied within 90 days after expiry attracts a late fee of ₹100 per day. Beyond 90 days the licence is treated as expired and a fresh application is required.
Our FSSAI fees are fixed and shared in writing before any work starts — no hourly billing and no surprises. Pricing depends on the complexity of your case, not your location, so Broadway clients pay the same transparent rates as everyone else. See the pricing section above or call 9566-068-468 for an exact figure.
Form A application along with passport-size photograph of the FBO/proprietor/partner/director, government photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/voter ID/passport/driving licence), address proof of the business premises (EB bill, property tax receipt or rent agreement with owner NoC), and a self-declaration of food safety as prescribed in Schedule 4 Part I.
Form D-1 is the annual return prescribed under Regulation 2.1.13(1) for every licensed FBO that is engaged in manufacturing or importing of food. It captures category-wise quantity manufactured, sold and exported in the financial year. The due date is 31 May following the close of the financial year.
You can attempt it, but small errors in FSSAI Registration often lead to notices, penalties or rejections that cost more to fix than to avoid. For Broadway clients we get it right the first time, which usually works out cheaper and far less stressful.
Section 22 read with the FSS (Approval for Non-Specified Food and Food Ingredients) Regulations 2017 requires prior product approval before manufacture or import of novel food, food for special dietary use, food with health supplements, nutraceuticals, foods for special medical purposes, irradiated food, GM food and ingredients with no history of safe use. Approval is granted by FSSAI's Scientific Panels before licence endorsement.
Renewal application filed within 90 days after expiry attracts a late fee of ₹100 per day of delay under the FSS (Licensing and Registration) Amendment Regulations 2021. After 90 days the licence is treated as expired — no renewal is permitted and a fresh application with full fee is required, with intervening operations exposing the FBO to Section 63 penalty.
Yes. The first discussion about your FSSAI Registration requirement is free — call or WhatsApp 9566-068-468 and we will tell you honestly what is involved, what it costs, and the realistic timeline before you commit to anything.

Section 50 imposes a penalty up to ₹5 lakh on any person who sells to the purchaser's prejudice any food that is not of the nature, substance or quality demanded by the purchaser. This is in addition to product-specific penalties under Sections 51-58.
Yes. Broadway has an active base of transport and allied businesses, and we regularly handle FSSAI for exactly these kinds of clients. We tailor the approach to your line of work rather than applying a one-size template.
Under Regulation 2.1.2 a State Licence is required for FBOs with annual turnover above ₹12 lakh and up to ₹20 crore, or operating units of specified mid-scale capacity — proprietary food and novel food units, dairies up to 50000 LPD, vegetable oil units up to 2 MT/day, meat units between 2-50 large animals or 10-150 small animals or 50-1000 poultry per day, hotels up to 4-star, restaurants/canteens above ₹12 lakh, transporters with up to 100 vehicles, and storage units up to 50000 MT.
Section 63 of the FSS Act 2006 provides that any person required to obtain a licence who manufactures, sells, distributes, imports or otherwise transacts in any article of food without licence shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months and with fine which may extend to ₹5 lakh.
Under Regulation 2.1 of the Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations 2011 there are three tiers — Basic Registration in Form A for petty Food Business Operators (FBOs) with annual turnover up to ₹12 lakh; State Licence in Form B for FBOs with turnover above ₹12 lakh and up to ₹20 crore or specified mid-scale operations; and Central Licence in Form B for FBOs with turnover above ₹20 crore or operating in multiple States, importers/exporters, e-commerce FBOs, 5-star hotels, port/airport/SEZ units and Central Government catering establishments.
