FSSAI registration & licence in Andaman & Nicobar Islands

Andaman & Nicobar Islands is one of India's most food-safety-sensitive Union Territories, and every food business here — from seafood restaurants and fish-processing units along Aberdeen Bazaar in Port Blair to resort kitchens, cloud kitchens, bakeries, tea stalls and grocery shops on Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep) — needs a valid FSSAI registration or licence to operate legally. Because so much of the UT's food supply arrives by sea and a large share of turnover comes from tourism and hospitality, the food-safety framework applies whether you cater to cruise passengers, run a homestay kitchen, or sell packaged goods imported through the port.

In the islands, food safety is administered by the Commissioner of Food Safety, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, through the State Food Safety Department, while every application is processed on the national FSSAI system. CAREALL handles this entire journey remotely: we assess whether your business needs Basic Registration (for units with turnover under ₹1.5 crore, typically small vendors, home-based cooks and single stalls in Port Blair), a State Licence (for turnover from ₹1.5 crore up to ₹50 crore operating within the UT, such as restaurants, mid-size processors and distributors), or a Central Licence (for turnover above ₹50 crore, importers, or businesses operating across multiple states — relevant for island traders bringing in stock from the mainland).

You never have to travel across islands or visit a food-safety office in person. We collect your documents over WhatsApp, prepare and submit the application, respond to any queries raised by the department, and track the file right up to issuance of your licence, which is issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India / the UT authority. An FSSAI licence now stays valid indefinitely rather than for a fixed term, with no renewal application; instead a recurring annual fee keeps it active, and an unpaid annual fee leaves it deemed suspended. We track and pay that annual fee on time — a real help in the islands, where postal and logistics delays could otherwise cause businesses to miss the payment window.

Which FSSAI licence do you need in Andaman & Nicobar Islands?

Your category depends on your turnover and scale. Within Andaman & Nicobar Islands — a single state — most businesses need a Basic Registration or a State Licence; large, multi-state or import/export businesses need a Central Licence.
