Eight questions give the FSSAI category per premises after the 1 April 2026 reset — the Rs 1.5 cr and Rs 50 cr bands, and how many licences you need.

Turnover alone no longer decides it. Eight questions give the category per premises, how many licences you need, and what the reset did to the licence you hold.

Thirteen inputs and three buttons across four always-open step cards become a three-step strip ("1 Describe the business · 2 Check the category · 3 Print the memo") and five inputs — kind of business, turnover, how many premises, in how many states, what licence you hold today.
