FSSAI's own order setting the tiers in force from 1 April 2026: Registration up to Rs 1.5 crore turnover, State Licence above Rs 1.5 crore and up to Rs 50 crore, Central Licence above Rs 50 crore. It cites the March 2026 amendment that also makes registrations and licences valid without renewal, subject to risk-based inspection, and it supersedes the old Rs 12 lakh and Rs 20 crore limits.

  • Up to Rs 1.5 crore turnover needs only FSSAI Registration.
  • State Licence covers Rs 1.5 crore to Rs 50 crore; Central Licence is above Rs 50 crore.
  • Registrations and licences no longer need renewal under the 2026 amendment.
