Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions for Restaurants & Food Businesses

If your expected annual turnover is up to ₹12 Lakhs, an FSSAI Basic Registration (Form A) is sufficient. For turnover between ₹12 Lakhs and ₹20 Crores, you need an FSSAI State License (Form B). Both licenses provide the mandatory 14-digit number required for Zomato & Swiggy onboarding.
