Reading: Thinking of starting a pizza joint in Delhi? Awesome! But before you fire up the oven, you’ll need to make sure you’re on the right side of the law. Do I need any licenses to open a small pizza shop in Delhi? If so, what kind of licenses are required, and where do I go to get them? Also, do I need to get a VAT or any other tax-related number?

Yes, you will need several licenses to operate a pizza shop in Delhi. These include a Food License from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), a Trade License from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), and a Shop & Establishment License from the Delhi government. You will also need a VAT registration number if your annual turnover exceeds the threshold limit. Contact the relevant government departments for application details and procedures.
