FSSAI License Renewal and Modification Guidelines: Avoiding Expiry Late Fees and Updating Business Details

FSSAI License Renewal & Modification Rules on FoSCoS

Allowing an FSSAI license to expire can paralyze your food business in Pune, causing immediate deactivation from Swiggy and Zomato and attracting severe late penalties.

Statutory Renewal Deadlines & Late Fees

An FSSAI license renewal can be initiated on the FoSCoS portal up to 180 days before its expiry date. If an application is not submitted at least 30 days before expiry, an automated statutory late fee of ₹100 per day is added to the government renewal fee until the date of expiry. Once expired, the license cannot be renewed—a fresh application must be filed.

FSSAI License Modification

If your food business alters its trade name, changes its physical kitchen address, adds new food product categories, or appoints new directors, you must file a formal License Modification on FoSCoS within 30 days of the change.
