FSSAI for your business
FSSAI Licence for Tea & Coffee Stalls
A tea or coffee stall serving beverages, snacks or bakery items to the public is a food business and must hold a valid FSSAI registration to operate legally. Most small stalls and kiosks fall under Basic Registration, though a busier outlet crossing ₹1.5 crore turnover moves to a State Licence. CAREALL confirms the correct category and files it for you.

Common problems we solve
- Local authorities and market associations often ask stalls to display a valid FSSAI number.
- Selling snacks, biscuits or bottled water alongside tea widens what your registration must cover.
- Using a home or rented address without proof causes applications to stall or get rejected.
Frequently asked questions
Which FSSAI licence does a tea or coffee stall need?
Most small tea and coffee stalls and kiosks qualify for FSSAI Basic Registration, which covers food businesses with annual turnover under ₹1.5 crore. If your stall grows busier and crosses ₹1.5 crore, you move to a State Licence. CAREALL reviews your turnover and outlet before filing the correct category for you.
Do I need an FSSAI registration for a small roadside tea stall?
Yes. Any business selling tea, coffee, snacks or other food to the public is a food business under the FSS Act, so even a small roadside or mobile stall needs at least FSSAI Basic Registration. Operating without it can attract penalties. CAREALL prepares your documents and files the application for you, then tracks it to issuance.
