About FSSAI penalties
Every food business needs a valid FSSAI registration or licence. It must be renewed before it expires — the FSSAI advises applying at least 30 days before the expiry date. If you renew after expiry, a late fee of ₹100 per day of delay applies, and until the licence is renewed you are operating on an expired licence.
Why it matters
Operating a food business on an expired (or wrong-category) FSSAI licence is an offence under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006: it can attract a penalty up to ₹5 lakh and prosecution, and the licensing authority can order the premises sealed. The ₹100/day late fee is small next to that exposure, so renewing on time is what matters.
