Complete 2026 guide: FSSAI license for food stalls, street food vendors & kiosks. Know the type (Basic/State), documents needed, fees (₹100/year), application process & penalties for non-compliance.

Is FSSAI License Mandatory for Food Stalls in India?

Yes — every food stall, street food vendor, kiosk, or temporary food counter selling food to the public must have a valid FSSAI registration or license under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. This applies to permanent stalls, seasonal fairs, market vendors, and roadside eateries alike. Operating without one risks fines up to ₹5 lakh and closure.

Which FSSAI License Does a Food Stall Need?

  • Basic FSSAI Registration: Most street food stalls and small kiosks qualify — annual turnover up to ₹12 lakh. Fee: ₹100/year.
  • State License: If your stall chain or business exceeds ₹12 lakh turnover. Fee: ₹2,000–₹5,000/year.
  • Central License: Only if operating nationally at scale exceeding ₹20 crore.

Most individual food stall owners and hawkers need only Basic FSSAI Registration at just ₹100/year.
