{“@context”:”https://schema.org”,”@type”:”FAQPage”,”mainEntity”:[{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”When should I renew my FSSAI license?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”You should apply for FSSAI renewal at least 30 days before your license expiry date. FSSAI regulations require renewal applications to be filed within 30 days of expiry to avoid late fees. Filing earlier is always better — there is no restriction on renewing 60–90 days in advance.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”What is the penalty for late FSSAI renewal?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”If you file for renewal after the expiry date, FSSAI charges a late fee of ₹100 per day of delay. Additionally, operating a food business with an expired FSSAI license is treated as operating without a license, which attracts a penalty of up to ₹5 lakh under Section 63 of the FSS Act.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”What documents are needed for FSSAI renewal?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”For renewal, you typically need: the existing FSSAI license certificate, current address proof for the business premises, updated list of food products/categories, and the renewal fee payment. The full document set varies by license type (Basic, State, or Central).”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”Can I upgrade from Basic Registration to State License at the time of renewal?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”Yes. If your turnover has grown beyond ₹12 lakh, you must upgrade to a State License. You can do this during renewal by selecting the appropriate license category on FoSCoS. Continuing on a Basic Registration with higher turnover is a compliance violation.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”Does my FSSAI license renew automatically?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:”No. FSSAI licenses do not renew automatically. You must file a renewal application on FoSCoS before expiry. The renewal must be actively applied for and approved before the old license is considered valid for the new period.”}}]}
