1. My turnover is now under the \u20b91.5Cr limit\u2014can I “downgrade” my license?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYes. If your turnover now fits a lower category, you can apply for a category migration on the FoSCoS portal. This will significantly reduce annual fees and compliance paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Does Perpetual Validity mean I stop paying FSSAI fees?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. While you no longer need to renew every 1\u20135 years, you must still pay an Annual Maintenance Fee. Failure to pay this fee will result in the deemed suspension of your license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. How does the 1 MT production limit work for multiple shifts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe 1 MT limit applies per shift. If any single shift exceeds 1 MT of production, you must obtain a State or Central License, regardless of what your total annual turnover is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Are Deemed Registered street vendors exempt from safety rules?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. Automatic registration under the Street Vendors Act only removes the paperwork of a second application. All vendors must still strictly follow FSSAI Schedule 4 hygiene and sanitary standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. What happens if my current license expires after April 1, 2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYour license will automatically transition to Perpetual Mode in the FoSCoS system. You won’t need a new number; your digital certificate will simply update to show it no longer expires, provided your annual fees are clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
