Licences
Get the licence your activity needs: FSSAI for food, IEC for import and export, Shop & Establishment, and Udyam.
What it is

About licences
No. Small food businesses need a basic registration; larger ones need a state or central licence. The category depends on turnover and activity.
The government does not charge for Udyam registration. If a professional helps you, their fee is shown before you agree.
