What Is an FSSAI State License?

FSSAI State License in Delhi is the food safety authorization issued under Section 31 of the FSS Act, 2006 to FBOs with turnover Rs 12 lakh-Rs 20 crore operating within Delhi. Issued by the Designated Officer, Department of Food Safety, Government of NCT of Delhi on Form B filed through FoSCoS portal. Every licensed FBO receives a unique 14-digit FSSAI number.

The State License sits in the middle tier: above Basic Registration (below Rs 12 lakh) and below Central License (above Rs 20 crore or multi-state). One FSSAI State License covers exactly one premises address - multi-outlet Delhi chains need separate licenses per branch.
