File No.:  15(31)2020/FoSCOS/RCD/FSSAIpt1-Part(2)

Circular date: November 13, 2024

Effective Date: October 22, 2024
 
Owing to the recommendations made by DPIIT, w.r.t PAN as Business Identity, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has decided to link PAN with FSSAI Licenses and registrations.
 
Hence, PAN has been made mandatory while making applications for new Licenses/registrations/renewals/modifications with effect from October 22, 2024 in FoSCoS [Food Safety Compliance System] portal.

Existing Licensed/ Food Business Operators(FBOs) whose renewal/modification is not due in near future are required to update their PAN on the  FoSCoS  portal under  FoSCoS User Profile Section as soon as possible.

Where the FBOs don’t have PAN, a declaration is required to be given for non-possession of PAN.

FBOs are also advised to update their contact details (email id and mobile number) under FoSCoS User Profile section for receiving regular communications from FSSAI.
