FSSAI State Food License in Pune: ₹12 Lakhs to ₹20 Crores Turnover, Commercial Kitchens & Food Processors

Dedicated Guide to FSSAI State Food License in Pune (Form B)

The moment a food business in Pune crosses the ₹12 Lakh annual turnover mark—or operates as a full-service dine-in restaurant, commercial bakery, banquet hall, meat processing facility, or cold storage warehouse—Basic Registration is legally insufficient. The enterprise must obtain an official FSSAI State Food License issued under Form B by the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) Maharashtra.

Operating a medium-scale food business under an inappropriate Basic Registration is a punishable violation under Section 31, leading to immediate restaurant sealing and penalties. Securing an FSSAI State License involves rigorous scrutiny: the Food Safety Officer (FSO) inspects commercial kitchen infrastructure, pest control contracts, clean water testing reports from NABL-accredited labs, and medical fitness certificates of food handlers.
