Permits You Require to Start a Café in Kolkata

Online Legal India LogoBy Online Legal India Published On 19 Dec 2020 Updated On 21 Jan 2022 Category FSSAI

During the time of colonial rule in India, this upscale tearoom was the place where one could enjoy a hearty English breakfast with a cup of coffee. Snuggled at the heart of Kolkata, Flury's was the first Cafe in Kolkata which was established back in 1927, by a Swiss couple, Joseph and Frieda Flury. As cafes are very popular, in and around Kolkata, it truly stands out with its vintage culture amalgamated with modern ways of living. Further, Kolkata has an IT hub that sprawls across the city and houses some of the most prestigious multinational companies and their offices and such places are surrounded by many Cafe's.

Licenses that you will require to open a Cafe:

  • FSSAI Certificate – You need an FSSAI Certificate which will allow you to legally serve any kind of food and beverage. FSSAI Certificate is a Food and Safety License made mandatory by the Government of India.
  • GST License – Every business in India now requires a GST License, which you too will require upon starting your café.
  • Professional Tax Registration – Starting a café would be incomplete without employees and workers. Professional Tax registration will allow you to employ workers but you should pay a professional tax for it.
  • Company Business Registration & Trade License – Don't forget to get your business/company legally registered with Kolkata Trade and Commerce Association.
  • Shops and Establishments Certificate – Before you set up a shop, you will require permission to function a shop and employ workers. Get this done by registering for a Shops and Establishments Certificate.
  • Liquor License – If you will be serving alcohol at your Cafe then a Liquor License is a must.
  • Eating House License – Getting an Eating House License should be your top priority to ensure a safe and lovely environment for your Cafe customers. If you serve food at your premises, which is the case in most situations, you will be needing an eating house license.
  • NOC from the Fire Department: Ensure your establishment is safe and is fully equipped to deal with fire hazards.
