Licensing & Certification
Sector licences are the compliance layer founders discover late — usually when a marketplace asks for a licence number, a customer asks for an ISO certificate, or an inspector arrives. We map what your activity actually requires, obtain it, and keep it renewed.
The scope of this practice area
Each line is work we do end to end, not a referral onward.
FSSAI registration and licensing
Basic registration, State licence or Central licence depending on turnover and activity, with the correct product categories declared. Central licence is mandatory for importers, exporters and most e-commerce food sellers regardless of size.
FSSAI ongoing compliance
Annual return, label review against the packaging and display regulations, licence modification when products or premises change, and renewal before expiry.
Udyam / MSME registration
Registration and the benefits that follow — statutory 45-day payment protection from buyers, the delayed-payment recovery mechanism, and preference in public procurement.
Importer Exporter Code
The code required for any import or export of goods or services, plus modification and the annual update.
ISO certification support
Documentation, gap assessment and audit coordination for quality, information security and environmental management standards.
Employment registrations
Shops and establishment registration, provident fund and state insurance registration, professional tax, and the returns each carries once you cross the applicable headcount.
Product and premises approvals
Standards certification for notified products, legal metrology registration for pre-packaged commodities, trade licence, and pollution consent where applicable.
Government scheme applications
Identification of central and state schemes your business qualifies for, and preparation of the application.
