GST, Udyam and FSSAI: different purposes

GST concerns tax registration, Udyam concerns MSME registration, and FSSAI concerns food-business registration or licensing. Which applies depends on your activity and circumstances.

Describe the business first

Explain what you sell, where you operate and how you sell. Food activity, business size and the nature of transactions can affect which requirements need assessment.

Keep each process separate

Do not treat one certificate as a substitute for another registration or licence. Ask for a checklist of applicable obligations and a separate scope for each service.

Use the official portals

Confirm current requirements through the relevant authority. Udyam registration is free on the government portal; optional assistance charges should be identified separately.

Get a clear scope before you proceed.

Tell us your objective. Ask for the document checklist, applicable charges and what is included.

Discuss your requirements
Official starting points: IP India · MCA · GST portal · Udyam · FoSCoS
