Jan 17, 2024

The FSSAI has decided to introduce the provision in FoSCoS for filing of Updated/Revised Annual Returns beyond the deadline of May 31.
 
Presently, FBOs [Manufacturers and Importers] are allowed to revise/update the already filed annual returns only till the last date of submission i.e., by May 31.
 
Now, the food authority has added the provision to update/revise Annual Returns in FoSCoS (Food Safety Compliance System) after May 31 to rectify inadvertent mistakes subject to conditions and fees.
 
According to the order issued by the FSSAI, in this regard, revision of annual returns is allowed maximum of two times and the last submitted annual return will be considered as final.
 
This will be allowed to those FBOs who have filed the returns within the last date i.e., May 31.
 
In this condition, the revised filing fee applicable will be based on the timeline, wherein if revised within three months i.e., by August 31 of following year: One-year licence fee + GST and if revised  beyond three months i.e., September 1 to March 31 of following year — Two-year licence fee + GST.
 
Secondly, FBOs who have filed Annual Returns beyond May 31 of following year with late fee, only one time revised/updated filing of annual returns is allowed till March 31 of the following year, with revised filing fee equal to Two year licence fee + GST.
 
And, thirdly, revised filing of Annual Returns is not allowed for the original annual returns filed beyond March 31 of the following year.
 
'The provision for filing of updated/revised return will come into effect from 06.01.2024 for Annual Returns of FY 2022-23 for which last date of submission of original return was 31st May 2023 [and extended till 30th June 2023 vide order dated 09.06.2023],' the order reads.
