Anyone here who makes, stores, transports or sells food — a sweet shop, a kirana, a flour mill, a tiffin service — needs an FSSAI registration or licence before starting, and the 14-digit number has to be displayed at the premises.

Which FSSAI registration or licence a business in Aurai needs
Under the limits in force from 1 April 2026, a food business with annual turnover up to ₹1.5 crore needs only an FSSAI registration — a short online application with an ID, a photograph and proof of premises. Above that, up to ₹50 crore, a State licence applies, with a fuller set of documents. The certificate carries a 14-digit number that must be displayed where customers can see it.
Registrations and State licences for premises in Bihar are granted by the state’s food safety authority through its designated officers; Central licences are issued by FSSAI’s own regional office. In every case the application, fee payment and certificate are on the FoSCoS portal, so no visit to the office is normally required.
Food businesses in Aurai: who needs FSSAI
Aurai’s food businesses are few in kind: grocery stores, sweet and tea shops, fish and vegetable sellers at the haats, and small flour and rice mills. After a flood, the condition of stored grain and packaged goods becomes a real food-safety matter — water-damaged stock cannot be sold — and a registered shopkeeper is expected to know that.
Grocery stores
Registration, and damaged or expired stock removed from sale.
Fish and vegetable sellers at haats
Registration for traders; growers and fishermen selling their own produce exempt.
Tea and snack stalls
Basic registration for the stall-holder.
Category and conditions, by type of food business
Kirana & General Stores. A grocery store’s duties under food law are mostly about what sits on its shelves. Food must be bought from registered or licensed suppliers, kept apart from soaps, detergents and pesticides, and sold within its date. Edible oil is to be sold only in sealed, labelled packs rather than loose from a tin. The registration certificate, or the food safety display board, should be visible to customers.
Produce, Honey, Fish & Meat Traders. Farmers selling their own raw produce are outside the licensing requirement, but traders, commission agents, packers and processors of fruit, vegetables, honey, fish and meat are not. Meat and fish shops have specific hygiene conditions; honey and packed produce need labels. Units that grade, wax, pulp or pack fruit are treated as processors.
Street Vendors & Small Eateries. Hawkers, thela vendors, tea stalls and small snack counters fall under registration, not licensing. Under the 2026 changes, vendors holding a certificate of vending under the Street Vendors Act are treated as registered. Those without it apply in the usual way with an ID, a photograph and a description of where they sell.
What running without the right licence risks
- When a sample fails, the shopkeeper is protected only if he can show a bill from a licensed supplier.
- Organised buyers and exporters source only from traders and packers who can show an FSSAI number.
- A registered vendor can join municipal vending zones, food-street schemes and bank micro-credit programmes that ask for the number.
- Operating a food business without a registration or licence is an offence under the Food Safety and Standards Act, with penalties that can run into lakhs of rupees.
- Licences now continue without renewal, but missing the annual fee or return leads to automatic suspension.
How the application works, step by step
- Category check. You tell us what you sell and your turnover; we confirm whether registration or a licence applies and under which kind of business.
- Documents. You send photos of your ID, a passport photograph and proof of the premises over WhatsApp.
- Application. We file on FoSCoS, pay the government fee and share the reference number with you.
- Certificate. Once approved, the certificate with your 14-digit number is sent to you to print and display, and the annual dates go into our reminders.

FSSAI registration in Aurai — frequently asked questions
Food that has been in contact with flood water, or whose packing is damaged, should not be sold; a retailer is responsible for what is on the shelf. Separate and record the damaged stock, return what the distributor will accept, and dispose of the rest.
Food safety rules require edible oil to be sold in sealed, labelled packs, because loose oil is the easiest to adulterate. A shop selling oil loose is at risk in an inspection. Small packs and pouches from a licensed packer are the lawful way to serve customers who buy in small quantities.
A farmer selling his own primary produce does not. Once the produce is traded by someone else, or graded, packed, bottled or processed — honey bottling or fruit pulp, for example — the person doing that needs a registration or licence.
Yes, at the basic registration level. Vendors who hold a valid certificate of vending under the Street Vendors Act are now treated as registered; others can apply online with very few documents.
Under the rules in force from April 2026, registrations and licences continue without periodic renewal. Instead, the annual fee must be paid and the annual return filed; if either is missed, the licence is treated as suspended until it is set right.
Generally yes — each premises where food is handled needs its own registration or licence. A business working in more than one state also needs a Central licence for its head office.
