The official front door for the most common sector licence founders need, food, plus a reminder that regulated sectors each have their own primary regulator. For fintech, the RBI regulatory sandbox and payment-aggregator authorisation are the legitimate paths (see note); for food, FoSCoS is where you actually apply.

Government of India (foscos.fssai.gov.in / rbi.org.in)
by FSSAI (and RBI for fintech)
portal
- FoSCoS is the official FSSAI portal to apply for food-business registration and licences online; since the 2026 amendment they no longer need renewal.
- Fintech is RBI-regulated: payment aggregators need RBI authorisation and a Rs.15 crore net-worth floor.
- RBI's regulatory sandbox (fintech.rbi.org.in/FT_RegSandbox) is the legitimate way to live-test innovations.
- Regulated sectors (food, health, finance) require sector approval before selling, not after.
