1. Start with FSSAI applicability

Food businesses should identify the applicable FSSAI registration or licence category based on current FSSAI rules, including Kind of Business criteria and the revised 2026 turnover thresholds.

2. Check GST applicability

GST registration is separate from the FSSAI category. Review the nature of supplies, turnover and other GST registration provisions independently.

3. Check establishment and labour registrations

Depending on the premises, establishment and workforce, Karnataka Shops & Commercial Establishments, PF, ESI, Professional Tax or other labour-related requirements may apply.

4. Check trade / local-authority requirements

Local trade permissions can depend on the activity and local authority. Confirm what applies to the exact business and premises rather than assuming one checklist fits every food business.

5. Keep fees transparent

Professional service fees and applicable government/statutory fees should be understood separately before proceeding.
