Understanding FSSAI Registration and Licensing Fees in India

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is a crucial regulatory body in India responsible for ensuring food safety across the country. Registered businesses must comply with the regulations set by FSSAI, one of which is the payment of licensing fees. These fees are based on the type of business and can vary significantly.
