I personally believe it is one of the most profitable businesses that doesn't require a lot of attention. You just have to grab the necessary registration and license from the authority and start your business with low investment. Get this amazing article on how to setup Tiffin Services business in India
Tiffin service India or dabbawallas are
quite popular amongst students, office goers, bachelors staying alone and even
families as it’s a convenient option of having nutritious three meals a day
rather than cooking by oneself. In India, food operators operate this business
commercially from their homes and even a dedicated office space. In order to
run a Tiffin service business in
India, the operator needs to get the following necessary registrations and licenses:
Registrations
a.
Certificate of Incorporation from the Registrar
of Companies under the Companies Act, 2013.
b. GST
certification for obtaining the GSTIN for being able to submit taxes and file
returns.
c. MSME
registration for getting the Udyog Aadhaar number – a registered firm is
entitled to lots of government subsidies and benefits.
d. Register
under the Shop and Establishment Act. Once the certificate is obtained it needs
to be displayed at the registered office of the service provider.
e.
Register with the State Professional Tax
authorities, the Employee State Insurance (ESI) authorities and Employee
Provident Fund (EPF) authorities for tax-related
issues and medical and other benefits for employees.
Licenses
a.
It is mandatory to obtain Food license from the Food Safety and Security Standards of
India. The state license from FSSAI is applicable for all dabbawalas who are
earning between Rs. 12 lakh to Rs. 2 crores
on a yearly basis. The application for this license can be done online by
filling in Form-B. The license can be obtained for a period ranging from 1 to 5 years. The fees applicable for
Tiffin services are Rs. 2000 per year. The documents that need to be submitted
by the service owner are:-
·
List of the owner
with his contact details.
·
Aadhaar card and pan card of the owner.
·
Ownership proof of the premises in the form of
utility bills or rental/lease agreement
·
Partnership Deed/ Certificate of Incorporation
·
Food safety management system plan or
certificate
·
Recall plan
·
No objection certificate from the Municipality
·
Form IX: Nomination of persons by a company
along with Board Resolution
The
license is granted only when the documentation
is all properly done and the inspection
report submitted by the Food Inspector after visiting the premises of the Tiffin service is found to be
acceptable as per the FSS Act, 2006. The checklist followed while the inspection is the Catering checklist. The license
along with the list of golden rules needs to be displayed at a visible position
within the premises of the food operator during working hours. This is
mandatory under the Food Safety and Standards Act. The display board is a means
of conveying to the customers and food handlers about the hygiene standards
that are required to be followed while in contact with food.
This
license needs to be renewed before the existing license expires. The renewal
process should be typically initiated 30 days before the expiry of the current
one. During renewal, the Form-B again needs to be submitted, duly completed and
signed by the owner or the authorized signatory. The other documents that need

safety equipment, officials visit the
