FoSCoS filed One food safety framework, three tiers
The FSS Act, 2006 brought every food business, from a home kitchen to a national manufacturer, under a single regulator. A extraction solvent fits into one of three tiers, and choosing correctly avoids rejections and re-filing.
- Basic Registration for the smallest operations
- State Licence for mid-sized businesses
- Central Licence for large, import or export operations
Which FSSAI licence for Extraction Solvent?
The tier follows your annual turnover and scale of operations. Here is how a extraction solvent typically maps across the three tiers.
| Tier | Who it is for | Government fee | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Registration | Turnover up to Rs 12 lakh; small and home-based operations | Rs 100 / year | 7 to 15 days |
| State Licence | Turnover Rs 12 lakh to Rs 20 crore; single-state operations | Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000 / year | 30 to 60 days |
| Central Licence | Above Rs 20 crore, importers, exporters, multi-state operators | Rs 7,500 / year | 60 to 90 days |
Typical position for a extraction solvent
Basic Registration, State Licence or Central Licence based on your annual turnover, manufacturing capacity and whether you import or export. We confirm the exact tier for your case before filing, so the government fee you pay matches your actual obligation.
The right Kind of Business on FoSCoS
FoSCoS asks you to classify your activity. Choosing the correct Kind of Business decides which documents you must submit and which food categories you may operate under.

- CategoryFood Additives & Ingredients
Common mistake
Selecting a Kind of Business that does not match your real activity, or leaving out a food category you actually handle, is the most frequent cause of FoSCoS queries and rejections. We map a extraction solvent to the correct KoB and food categories before filing.
