How Indian FBOs use the FSSAI RUCO traceability application to raise used cooking oil disposal requests and keep an audit trail.

What the app does

It tracks enrolment of NFP units, aggregator recognition, FBO disposal requests, and transaction reports. FSSAI made it live in 2023 so RUCO is not only paper letters at the kitchen door.

What you still do in the kitchen

Cool and store oil, keep TPC under control, and only hand drums to someone who can show NFP enrolment plus aggregator authorisation. The app does not collect the drum. A collector or BioTradX-matched buyer does.

Common mistakes

Logging a handover to an unauthorised person, mixing engine oil into UCO drums, and forgetting the 50 litres/day record rule. Those mistakes show up in inspections even if the app has a ticket.

Pair app plus marketplace

Raise the official request, complete pickup via a verified BioTradX buyer, file both references. Inspectors want origin, volume, and destination.

Official sources

General information only, not legal advice. Confirm the current rule with the issuing authority.
