Frequently asked questions
Our Ludhiana dairy makes paneer and ghee with a turnover of ₹8 crore. Which licence do we need?
A turnover between ₹1.5 crore and ₹50 crore needs a State FSSAI Licence. Dairy units usually also need a water analysis report and a food safety management plan.
Can a food safety officer visit my Ludhiana factory before approving the licence?
Yes. Manufacturers applying for a State Licence may be inspected. We help you get the premises, records and documents ready.
Is a State Licence valid for my outlet in another state?

I had a State Licence before April 2026 but my turnover is below ₹1.5 crore. What happens?
Many such businesses now fall under Basic Registration. We can check whether you should move categories.

It depends on the authority and whether an inspection is needed. It usually takes a few weeks, and we follow up on queries for you.
