FSSAI and GST Startup Registrations

Our newly incorporated private limited company in the Food & Beverage space is ready to go live, but before we do, I need all statutory registrations wrapped up in the correct order.

Top priority is the FSSAI licence so we can legally manufacture, package and sell our products. Right after that comes GST registration—this is strictly for compliance, not optional expansion perks—followed by Startup India (DPIIT) recognition and finally the DGFT IEC for future export plans.

Here’s how I see the engagement working:

• FSSAI Basic → State → Central (advise the right tier, prepare and file, track till licence copy is issued)
• GST registration (application, ARN, GSTIN allotment, active status confirmation)
• Startup India/DPIIT recognition (entity profile, innovation write-up, document upload, certificate download)
• DGFT IEC (e-sign application, IEC number, downloadable certificate)

Acceptance will be the official certificates or acknowledgement PDFs downloaded directly from each government portal, along with login credentials or access keys so I can verify status any time.

You’ll guide me on the exact document list (COI, MOA, AOA, PAN, rent agreement, utility bill, food product details, director KYC, etc.), schedule short calls if clarification is needed, and keep me updated at every milestone.

If you already handle filings on FoSCoS, GSTN, Startup India portal and DGFT’s new platform, that’s ideal—I’d like a single point of contact rather than juggling multiple consultants. Let’s get the FSSAI in hand first and move straight down the list without delays.
