FSSAI and Licences for a 100 sq ft Chai Kiosk
Every chai kiosk needs FSSAI. Shop & Establishment, GST and trade licences depend on city and turnover.
Food businesses in India need FSSAI registration or a licence. A compact kiosk usually starts with basic registration and upgrades if turnover crosses the notified limit.
Typical stack
- FSSAI (mandatory)
- Shop & Establishment as required by the state
- GST if you cross the threshold
- Local trade / health / fire permissions as the municipality asks
Maa Ki Chai training covers hygiene SOPs. Licence filing is still the partner’s legal duty in that city. Keep the FSSAI number on display.
Can I open without FSSAI?
No. Do not serve food commercially without the required FSSAI registration or licence.
Does the brand file FSSAI for me?
The partner is the food business operator for that outlet. We guide the checklist; you file locally.
