An FSSAI registration or licence is valid only for the period chosen at the time of application. To keep operating legally, you must apply for renewal before it expires. Filing late can attract a late fee, and if the licence lapses completely you may have to apply afresh and stop operations in the meantime. Food delivery platforms and marketplaces may also delist sellers whose FSSAI number has expired.
Vibence helps you renew on time. Qualified professionals from the Vibence partner network check your current licence, confirm whether your category is still correct, prepare the renewal application on the FoSCoS portal and track it through to approval. If your turnover or activity has grown, we will flag whether you should upgrade to a different level instead of a simple renewal.

FSSAI Licence and Registration Renewal: FAQs
When should I apply for FSSAI renewal?
You should apply for renewal before your current registration or licence expires. FSSAI rules allow renewal to be filed in advance of the expiry date, and applying early gives time to handle any queries. If you apply after expiry, a late fee may apply for each day of delay, and beyond a point the licence may lapse entirely. Vibence can remind you well ahead of time.
What happens if my FSSAI licence expires?
Once a registration or licence expires and is not renewed within the permitted period, it is treated as lapsed. You would then need to apply for a fresh registration or licence and should stop food business operations until it is granted. Running a food business without a valid FSSAI registration can attract penalties. Food delivery apps may also suspend your listing until a valid number is provided.
Can I change my licence period or details during renewal?
You can choose a new validity period when you renew, generally between one and five years, and the government fee varies with the period. Minor details can sometimes be updated during renewal, but significant changes such as new products, a new premises or a change in category usually need a separate modification or a new licence. Our professionals will advise which route fits your changes.
Is FSSAI renewal different for basic registration and licences?
The overall idea is the same: you apply on the FoSCoS portal before expiry and pay the renewal fee for the period you choose. However, state and central licences may need more supporting documents, such as test reports or confirmation of annual returns, than basic registration. Our partner professionals will prepare the correct documents for your specific level.
What if my business has grown beyond my current FSSAI category?
If your turnover, capacity or activity now falls into a higher level, a simple renewal of your existing registration may not be appropriate. You may need to apply for a state or central licence instead. Our partner professionals review your current figures during the renewal check and advise whether an upgrade is needed, so you remain correctly licensed.
