Ollvy Guided

We file correctly.
Not just on time.

Most CAs submit what you give them and hope for the best. Ollvy reviews your documents before filing - not after a notice arrives.

Without Ollvy

  • Wrong FSSAI license type - Basic when State is needed. Swiggy rejects it on onboarding.
  • GST registration at wrong address - GSTIN must match your kitchen address.
  • FSSAI inspection failed - no prep. Dirty kitchen, missing layout, wrong documents.
  • Missing Eating House License - Delhi requires police clearance separately.
  • 3 months of back and forth. No single point of contact.

With Ollvy

  • Correct license type confirmed before filing. Turnover question determines Basic vs State.
  • GST address cross-checked with FSSAI address. Both applications use the same address.
  • Premises checklist sent before inspection. 7 days before: layout, cleanliness, document display.
  • Eating House + Trade License both covered. City-specific requirements mapped.
  • One professional, one WhatsApp. Direct contact throughout.

Clean submission - lower chance of officer query

We handle the messy situations too.

The situations most CAs decline or overcharge for.

R

Residential kitchen - society NOC issue

Our client's society refused to give an NOC. We drafted a legal notice format for the RWA, explained the FSSAI legal position, and resolved it within a week.

E

Existing restaurant adding a cloud brand

They already had FSSAI but it did not cover their new food categories. We filed a KoB modification, not a new license - saved them 30 days.

F

FSSAI inspection failed first time

Officer found the kitchen layout did not match the submitted drawing. We revised the layout document and secured re-inspection within 7 days.

G

GST address different from kitchen address

They'd registered GST for their home earlier. We filed an Additional Place of Business amendment so both addresses were covered under one GSTIN.

What could go wrong with Cloud Kitchen

These are the risks. We handle most of them, but you should know what they are.

FSSAI inspection failure

Officer visits and finds the kitchen does not match the submitted layout, or hygiene standards are not met. This adds 2-4 weeks while an improvement notice is issued and resolved. Ollvy sends a pre-inspection checklist 7 days before the visit.

GST portal rejection

GST applications are rejected when document names do not match (PAN vs Aadhaar), address is unclear, or bank details are incorrect. Ollvy reviews all documents for consistency before filing. Our rejection rate is under 5%.

Trade License delays in specific cities

Municipal corporations in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru have different processes and timelines. Some require physical visits. Your professional is city-specific - we do not assign a Bengaluru agent to a Delhi application.

FSSAI inspection not scheduled

In some states, inspection officers are backlogged. The application sits pending inspection for weeks with no response. Ollvy follows up directly with the state FSSAI office and escalates to the District Officer if no inspection is scheduled within 14 days.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Yes. FSSAI registration is based on the premises where food is prepared, not the property's zoning. Thousands of cloud kitchens in India operate from residential addresses. You need the flat's utility bill and a NOC from your society or landlord. Ollvy provides the NOC template - the landlord just needs to sign it.

Yes, if you're listing on Swiggy or Zomato. These platforms are classified as e-commerce operators under GST law and deduct 0.5% TCS from every payout. To claim that TCS credit back, you must file GST returns - and to file returns, you must be GST registered. There is no turnover threshold exemption for aggregator sellers.

No. Operating without FSSAI is an offence under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Swiggy and Zomato both require a valid FSSAI number before onboarding. You can use the application acknowledgment number as a reference internally, but formal operations and platform listing require the actual certificate.

No. FSSAI is premises-based. All brands operating from the same kitchen are covered under one license, as long as their food categories are all listed under the license's Kinds of Business (KoB). You list all brand names on the one certificate. If you open a second kitchen at a different address, that address needs its own license.

Ollvy sends you a pre-inspection checklist 7 days before the visit covering kitchen layout, cleanliness, labelling, and documentation. If the officer issues an improvement notice, we respond through the FoSCoS portal and schedule re-inspection. This is included in the pack - no additional charge.
