Congratulations on your Business idea!

For a business like yours, first and foremost, registerign the busienss would be mandatory, as the food products that you manufcture or produce will have to be packed with FSSAI license. On the same line, let's talk a bit more:

1. Register your busienss: Remember, choosing the right enetiy that suits the business objectives is a very important call to make. I have mentioned links to the relevant blog below.

2. Any person or entity that intends to start a food business is required to obtain necessary registration/license (as applicable) under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). The Home Bakery business would also be required to be registered/licensed under the Act. Depending on the following, the registration/licensing of the Home Bakery business would be required: a. Registration – In case the annual turnover does not exceed 12 lakhs per annum. b. License Central or State– In all other cases of turnover more than 12 lakhs per annum (Central in case the business operates in 2 or more states. c. Cost - In case only Registration is required, the fee payable under the Regulations is Rs. 100/- per year. However, in case a License is required to be obtained (depending on Central/State License), the fees ranges from Rs. 2000/- to Rs. 7500/- per year.

3. Trade License would be essential.
