Renew your food licence before it lapses.
An FSSAI licence or registration is valid for one to five years depending on the tenure chosen, and it must be renewed before expiry to keep your food business legally operational. Renewal should ideally be applied for at least 30 days before the expiry date; applying late (up to the expiry) attracts a daily penalty, and once the licence lapses you must apply afresh and may have to stop operations. The renewal process on the FoSCoS portal is similar to a fresh application and requires updated business details and documents. We track your expiry date and manage the renewal proactively so your FSSAI licence never lapses.
