FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) registration is a mandatory license for all food businesses in India. It ensures that your food business complies with the safety and hygiene standards set by the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Operating without an FSSAI license can lead to penalties up to ₹5 lakhs, business closure, and legal action.
The processing time for FSSAI licenses varies based on the type of
registration:
- Basic Registration: 7-10 working days
- State License: 15-20 working days
- Central License: 25-30 working days
These timelines may vary based on document completeness and authority workload. With
GrowthLink's services, we ensure faster processing by ensuring error-free applications
and regular follow-ups.

you to run a specific trade or business within city limits. It focuses on the nature of
business activities.
A Shop Establishment License is governed by the Shop and Establishment Act and regulates
the working conditions of employees in commercial establishments. It focuses on labor
compliance, working hours, and employee welfare.
