Frequently asked questions
- Apply before the expiry date printed on the licence — we recommend at least 30 days ahead. Applications filed after expiry attract a late fee of Rs 100 for every day of delay.
- The same as a fresh licence, per year: Rs 100 for Basic Registration, Rs 2,000-5,000 for a State Licence depending on the kind of business, and Rs 7,500 for a Central Licence. You may renew for 1 to 5 years at a time.
- You cannot legally operate. A short delay can be regularised by paying the Rs 100 per day late fee with the renewal. If the lapse is long, a fresh application may be required and operating in the meantime can attract a penalty of up to Rs 5 lakh.
- Not always. The Designated Officer may order an inspection for State and Central licences, particularly where the premises, capacity or product categories have changed.
- Yes, and you must if turnover has crossed Rs 12 lakh. We check turnover against the tier before filing so the renewal does not itself become a violation.
