For home food sellers

Getting your FSSAI licence

Selling food in India — even from a home kitchen — needs a basic FSSAI registration. It's cheaper and quicker than most people expect. Here's exactly how to do it.

1. 1

   Go to the FoSCoS portal

   Visit foscos.fssai.gov.in — this is the official government registration site. Avoid third-party sites that charge extra fees.

2. 2

   Choose "Basic Registration"

   Home kitchens and small sellers (turnover under ₹12 lakh/year) only need Basic Registration — not a full licence. It's the cheapest, simplest option.

3. 3

   Fill your business details

   Your name, address, the kind of food you make, and a passport photo. Keep it simple and accurate.

4. 4

   Pay the fee

   Basic Registration costs ₹100 per year. Payment is done directly on the government portal.

5. 5

   Get your certificate

   Approval usually takes 7–10 working days. You'll get a 14-digit FSSAI number and a certificate — add both to your MadeByHer seller profile.
