A Guide To Filling Out This Automatic Payment: Fill & Download for Free

I’m a Canadian currently backpacking through the UK. I just left London. Here’s a quick summary of the ten most important things I learned along the way.(This will mostly be applicable to those looking to travel on a budget. All costs in USD.)[EDIT: Came back to this in early 2020 with a few updates. I’ve since spent more time in London, and my thinking has shifted a bit on some points.]#1: CityMapper is your friend.It’s the best app out there for local transit. Just trust me. Download it before you arrive.You can also use Google Maps while walking aboveground. You don't need cellular data (GPS is a separate system). But you should download local maps for offline use if you want navigation help.#2: _theCloud is your friend.Assuming you don't have a UK SIM and aren't interested in paying roaming fees, finding reliable wifi is key._theCloud is a public network you can log onto at every Caffe Nero, Costa Coffee, or Pret et Manger (all pretty ubiquitous across London). Once you give them your details, you can use the network wherever it's available at no cost.Starbucks also has its own wifi service that runs separately in many stores (which are also everywhere).Most museums and libraries have free admittance and wifi, but you'll find that most parks and transit stations are without. (In a pinch, you can access pay-per-use O2 or Virgin hotspots pretty much anywhere. They're just really pricey.)[2020 EDIT - I was unaware of how cheap short-term plans are on good travel SIMs. While knowing how to get free wifi is handy for limiting your data use against said plans, I would definitely recommend a SIM. For this trip I paid about $30 for a Vodafone package that gave me unlimited texts, 1k minutes, and 30gb of 4g data Europe-wide. No contract or hidden fees, and the package last 30 days. Plus it gives you a UK phone # to sign up for apps that require a local number. The only downside is that you won’t receive any calls/texts to your regular number unless you swap SIMs or use iMessage.]#3: CouchSurfing (the app) is your friend.Choose between it and Airbnb based on how social you want to be. Couchsurfing is better if you're looking for people to explore with, though you have to be more flexible to their schedule(s).A few pointers:Message potential hosts before doing a stay request. Address their interests first, not your needs. Read the specifics in their bios. Mention at least one.Be mindful of paying for verification. Couchsurfing is not forthcoming on pricing (it was about $50 USD). Arguably worth it, but very sketchy payment process.Get references from friends. This is especially necessary if you aren't paying for verification.Make sure to fill out your bio with interests and personality fit details.Don't book too far in advance if you aren't ok with cancellations. A week or so out is generally ideal.Couchsurfing doesn't cost anything beyond what you voluntarily spend on your host. A cheap Airbnb anywhere near central London will be $50 or more. (On weekends often a lot more. Though you can save money by staying on the outskirts and then just commuting in each morning.)Hostels are a middle-ground option (often only $25–$35 in great locations), but don't always offer private rooms. If you’re going to stay in one, book through booking.com or Agoda. Both are free, quick, and likely to get you the best rates. But pay attention to reviews. Stay at < 7.5/10 options at your peril.#4: Be smart about local travel.Get your Oyster Card (prepaid tap card for the London transport network, including buses, local rail, and the underground) within the airport at the information desk upon arrival.You’ll pay a straight £3 instead of a refundable £5, but it looks pretty cool and you’ll spare yourself a much longer line. (Just one person in front of me at the Gatwick info desk compared to 109+ people in line at the connected station that takes you into London.)Taking the tube can add up, depending where you're going (the fares are based on zones and run about $3 per go for Central London — though there are daily caps equal to three fares). Plan your trips based on neighbourhoods. Often plenty of things to see within a very walkable radius, especially in the central areas.When taking the tube, finding the right train means identifying: (1) the name of the line you're taking, (2) the cardinal direction you're going, (3) the terminal point of the specific train. Easy to get lost if you aren't paying careful attention to all three.[2020 EDIT: If your credit card is tap-eligible, you can just tap that directly on the Oyster reader. It charges the same as an Oyster card fare, which is like half the cost of a single-fare ticket from the machine. It also automatically applies the Oyster cap, so you’ll never pay more than three fares per day regardless of how often you use it. It also has a weekly cap equal to the Travelcard, which is an unlimited one-week Oyster card. The only difference is that the credit card cap runs Sunday to Saturday, where the Travelcard is 7 days from when you activate it. All said, I find the credit card option best. You don’t need to ever buy anything or manage an extra card in your wallet. Just don’t forget to tap out every time you finish a trip!]#5: Bring a water bottle.Public drinking fountains are comparatively rare. While there are many public bathrooms (called toilets on the signs) where you can refill a bottle, you’ll often be looking for a fountain in vain unless you planned your route accordingly.(Nearly every park has little cafes or snack stands. But the prices for drinks are cartel-like. A can of Coke can run you $2-3.)[2020 EDIT: Many have pointed out in the comments that most licensed restaurants and food vendors need to give you a free refill if you ask, even if you haven’t purchased anything. That seems a bit awkard of a request to me personally, but obviously/thankfully not everyone is me. Anyway, someone also pointed out this cool app that shows refill locations: Find water on the go.]#6: Don't be afraid to wander.Throw out your tourist maps. Just pick an area and walk around. You’ll find some amazing shops and sites in odd locations, tucked behind other buildings and down random alleyways. (As a rule, the rents for stores on main drags price out all but the largest brands, leaving lots of the cool local stuff a little off the beaten path.)As far as safety goes, obviously be wise at night. I found central London really safe, but I'm also a dude and pretty huge.(Above: a cinematic walkway I stumbled upon near Temple Church.)(Above: the view of St. Paul’s Cathedral when approached through side-streets, which really caught me by surprise.)Speaking of which…#7: Skip the London Eye and go to St. Paul’s.You're a bit lower (365 feet vs. 443), but it costs less (only $20 for a yearlong pass if you book online) and gives you amazing open-air views.And that isn't to mention how beautiful the cathedral is inside. (I spent about 3-4 hours and wish I had stayed longer. Lots to take in.)Just be prepared to make a climb if you want the views. 528 steep and narrow steps to the top (divided into three flights, each tougher than the last). Not for those with vertigo or bad hearts.[2020 EDIT: You can get into St. Paul’s for free if you go during a public service. There are just some restrictions on wandering. Personally I would just buy the year-long pass online. But if you’re only looking for a quick sense, or if you’re bringing kids along, this can save you a bit.]#8: Go see the museums.As mentioned above, most of them are free to the public. Great places to explore or hang out. Plus you can perch and write in most of them.I particularly enjoyed the Victoria & Albert Museum in Kensington (has a wonderful Raphael exhibit and plenty of great Renaissance works).The National Gallery (adjacent to Trafalgar Square) usually has some interesting things happening out front.(I'm not entirely sure what this act was about. But I showed up just in time to snap a cool pic.)#9: Seriously, mind the gap.There's a reason they repeat the phrase every two minutes on every train. The gap can be surprisingly large at times and you can easily hurt yourself.On the same subject, there's a reason they have pavement markings with arrows that say “look this way” at almost every road crossing. It's really hard to adjust to looking for traffic from the opposite direction than you're used to! If I never make it back to Canada, this will be why.Also, as a point of etiquette, you should always stand to the right on escalators if you aren't walking. Locals more concerned with making a specific train will get testy if you're standing in their way. (Most staircases are split by a rail. Always walk to the left of it. Slower walkers generally keep to the middle, leaving room for hurried folks to pass on the far left.)#10: Neighborhood grocers are your friend.Food in London isn't cheap. At least not in terms of the more popular restaurants and cafes. But there are budget options.First, you have express-size versions of the major supermarket chains everywhere (Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Tesco, M&S). All have really solid deli options. I found the price and quality refreshingly high compared to most of what I've eaten in North America.You also have plenty of non-brand cafes (often ethnic). If you look around just off the main strips, plenty of places where you can get a full English breakfast or decent dinner for like $10-$12.For breakfast or lunch, bakeries are often your best bet. You can generally get an americano and bacon roll for $5 or so. (Warning: you can't really find normal drip coffee here, and the bacon isn't bacon in the sense we think of it — though don't let that hold you back from enjoying.)[2020 EDIT: I forgot to mention this previously, but all those grocers have a thing called a Meal Deal, which is a UK-wide staple. For something like £3 you get a sandwich/salad/pasta/wrap and a beverage and a snack. Applicable items usually have stickers marking them, and automated kiosks apply the discounts for you. The variety and quality of the entrees is actually quite good. And if you go in the evening those entrees are marked down by as much as half. I often bought them and ate them for lunch the next day and noticed zero taste difference.]Have fun!Oh, one last 2020 edit.Unless you’re a business traveller or otherwise in a real hurry, I wouldn’t bother with the express trains from Heathrow or Gatwick. They run on roughly the same lines as normal London transport trains (which use the same fare system as the subways). They just get there like 15 minutes faster on account of no stops. But the price difference is considerable, and lots of sales folks at the airport will try and talk you into wasting your money. If you’re just going into Central London and time isn’t crucial, you can get into Paddington Station (from Heathrow) or Victoria (from Gatwick) for like 1/4 of the same-day price. Just use CityMapper for more precise instructions, and ask a local (who isn’t power-walking) for guidance if need be. As is true everywhere, most people are very friendly and happy to help.(Oh, and I forgot to mention tipping. Not really necessary at bars or cafes unless you’re there for a longish time, and even then should be about the cost of one drink maybe. For sit-down restaurants 10% is pretty standard if they haven’t already added a “service fee” to your bill, which is basically a semi-forced tip often applied at fancier places or for large groups. For walking tours I would give the guide £5 or £10 depending how entertaining I found them and how much the tour was. Obviously good to tip more for volunteers. For families a £10 baseline is more appropriate, especially if your kids are slowing the group down at all or if the guide paid them special attention.)

Search on Justdial or google, you will get service providersRead More - HomeFSSAI License in IndiaIf you’re planning to start a food retail business in India, the most important license is the one from the Food Safety and Standard Authority of India (FSSAI), Ministry of Family Health & Welfare, Government of India. The FSSAI provides licenses for the safety and standardization of food products manufactured and sold in India. Without one, no legitimate wholesaler or retailer would stock your products.What is an FSSAI license?The FSSAI works toward setting scientific standards for articles of food, to regulate their manufacturing, storage, distribution, sales, and import. It is mandatory for any startup or company with a plan to enter the food retail business to get an FSSAI license. This is, of course, in addition to the other licenses you would need.This is an initiative by the Government of India to ensure the food produced, distributed or imported adheres to the standards set by the food authority and thereby avoid problems such as adulteration and inferior qualities of food.The FSSAI license is divided into three categories:a. FSSAI license for single-state businesses with annual turnover of under Rs. 12 lakhb. FSSAI license for single-state hotels, restaurants, and medium-sized food manufacturers with annual turnover of Rs. 12 lakh to Rs. 20 crorec. FSSAI central license for enterprises with a turnover of over Rs. 20 croreIf you plan to open outlets in more than one state, you will need a Central FSSAI license for the registered office and state licenses for individual units. If you have warehouses in different states, you will be required to get a separate license for each facility.Who will require an FSSAI registration?Any enterprises involved in the manufacture, procurement (import), processing, packaging, storage and distribution of food items will need to acquire this license. Once you register online, the business is provided with a 14-digit registration number. Any food packages distributed or manufactured should carry the registration number.Steps to procure a FSSAI license in India:Fill in ApplicationFill the application form (Form B) mentioned in The Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses), Regulations 2011.Before filling up your application, check the type of FSSAI license you may require, from the concerned person.
