“The regional director shall examine the request-based on merit and forward the request with his/her remarks to FSSAI HQ within 30 days of receipt of such request by FBO. The Regulatory Compliance Division of the FSSAI will examine the request and after the decision taken by RCD on approval, IT division will be informed to reactivate the application,” reads the SOP while adding that in urgent cases FBOs can directly approach the FSSAI HQ.
In case of the state licences, the Commissioner of Food Safety of the state and in case of registration the designated officer shall examine the request for reactivating the application and the timeline here is also six months. And send the request to the FSSAI HQ within 30 days and after examination of the request, the decision will be taken to reactivate the application.
