Eligibility and scope notes
- The correct category also depends on the food activity and business type; the turnover bands do not replace activity-specific criteria.
- The 2026 FSSAI amendment introduced perpetual validity for licences and registrations. The applicable category, fees and any action still depend on the food activity and current licence status; not every case is an annual renewal.
