Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need FSSAI license for food business loan?

Yes, most banks require FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) registration or license for food business loans. For businesses with turnover under ₹12 lakh, a Basic Registration (₹100/year) is sufficient. For ₹12 lakh–₹20 crore, a State License is required. Above ₹20 crore, a Central License is needed. Your project report should mention the applicable FSSAI license type and include it as a pre-operative expense.

What food businesses are eligible under PMEGP?

PMEGP covers a wide range of food businesses: food processing (spices, pickles, namkeen, papad), bakery and confectionery, dairy and milk products, fruit and vegetable processing, flour mill, oil mill, rice mill, and agro-processing. Food businesses in rural areas get a higher 35% subsidy under PMEGP compared to 25% in urban areas.

Can I get MUDRA loan for a dhaba or restaurant?

Yes, restaurants, dhabas, and food service businesses are eligible for MUDRA loans under the service sector category. MUDRA Kishor (₹50K–₹5L) is suitable for small food businesses, and MUDRA Tarun (₹5L–₹10L) for slightly larger setups. A project report showing the seating capacity, average daily customers, pricing, and operating costs is required for Kishor and Tarun categories.

What permits are required for a food processing business?

Key permits for a food processing business include: FSSAI Registration/License, GST Registration, Shop and Establishment Act registration, Udyam Registration (MSME), No-Objection Certificate from local Panchayat/Municipality for the premises, and Trade License. Some categories also require BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification. Your project report should include the cost of obtaining these licenses as pre-operative expenses.
