<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">If you're planning to sell health supplements online in India, obtaining a food and drug license is mandatory. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulates the sale of consumable products, including dietary and nutritional supplements. While many call it an FDA license, in India it is issued by FSSAI under the Food Safety and Standards Act.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Selling supplements without a valid Food and Drug Certificate can lead to legal action, product seizures, and penalties. Whether you're manufacturing, marketing, or simply selling supplements online (via your website, Amazon, etc.), you must apply for the appropriate FSSAI license based on your business size and turnover.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">There are three types: Basic, State, and Central licenses. Most small online sellers start with a State FDA license if their turnover is under ₹20 crore. Larger businesses or those involved in inter-state trade require a Central license.



<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In short, yes&mdash;you do need a valid FDA license to legally sell supplements online in India. It assures consumers of product safety and builds trust in your brand.
