Introduction

Changing the premises of your food business requires updating your FSSAI Licence Registration to ensure compliance with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulations. Whether you are shifting your manufacturing unit, warehouse, or retail outlet, it’s mandatory to notify FSSAI about the change of premises to avoid penalties or suspension of your existing FSSAI Licence Registration.

WHEN CHANGE IS REQUIRED

A change of premises under FSSAI Licence Registration is required when a food business operator (FBO) relocates its business operations from one address to another. This applies to all categories — manufacturing units, distributors, transporters, storage facilities, and retailers.

If your business has:

Shifted to a new address (within or outside the state),
Changed its registered office or manufacturing unit location, or
Expanded or reduced its operational area,

you must initiate the FSSAI Change of Premises process before continuing operations at the new site. Non-compliance can lead to cancellation or penalties on your FSSAI Licence Registration.

DOCUMENTS FOR ADDRESS CHANGE

To modify the address under your FSSAI Licence Registration, you need to upload the following documents during the FSSAI Change of Premises process:

1. Proof of new address (Rent Agreement/Property Tax Receipt/Utility Bill)

2. Layout plan of the new premises

3. Photo ID and address proof of the proprietor/partners/directors

4. List of food categories handled at the new location

5. Declaration form stating that only the address has changed, not the business type

All documents must be self-attested and clearly scanned before uploading to the FSSAI portal.
