India's FSSAI grants perpetual validity to licences and registrations
Change
India's FSSAI approved perpetual validity for food licences and registration certificates, eliminating renewals, and raised the registration turnover threshold from Rs 12 lakh to Rs 1.5 crore while assigning state licensing up to Rs 50 crore and central licensing above that.
Why it matters
Removing periodic renewals means compliance can no longer be satisfied by meeting renewal checkpoints; operators must maintain continuous, audit-ready compliance. Licensing authorities will shift resources from processing renewals to enforcement and a dynamic risk-based inspection regime, increasing the operational consequences of ongoing non-compliance.
Implications
- — Food business operators' compliance teams must maintain continuous, audit-ready food-safety records and third-party audit reports — failure will increase the likelihood of risk-based inspections and enforcement action.
- — Street food vendors registered with Municipal Corporations or Town Vending Committees must keep their municipal registration valid and accessible — losing that registration removes deemed registration status under FSSAI and exposes them to enforcement.
