What is the BIS MANAK Online Portal?
The BIS MANAK Online Portal (manak.bis.gov.in) is the official digital platform developed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for all certification-related services. Launched as part of India's Digital India initiative, the portal has completely replaced the traditional paper-based application system for BIS registration.
As of 2026, all BIS certification applications — whether for ISI Mark (Product Certification Scheme), CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme), or FMCS (Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme) — must be submitted exclusively through the MANAK portal. The portal handles the entire certification lifecycle:
- New application submission and tracking
- Document and test report uploads
- Application fee payments via integrated payment gateway
- Query management and response submission
- Factory inspection scheduling (for ISI Mark and FMCS)
- Certificate generation and download
- Licence renewal and amendment applications
- Annual marking fee payments
While the portal is designed to be user-friendly, the MANAK online BIS registration process involves technical knowledge of Indian Standards, proper documentation, and understanding of BIS procedures. Many businesses choose to work with experienced consultants like Standphill India to navigate the process efficiently and achieve first-time approval.
Step-by-Step: How to Apply for BIS Registration on MANAK Portal
Follow these 8 steps to successfully complete your MANAK online BIS registration in India.
Visit the BIS MANAK Portal
Navigate to the official BIS MANAK online portal (manak.bis.gov.in). This is the only authorized platform for submitting BIS registration applications. Ensure you are on the correct government website before proceeding.
Create Your Account
Click on "New Registration" and fill in your details — company name, authorized signatory information, email address, mobile number, and PAN/GST details. You will receive an OTP on your registered email and phone for verification.
Login & Select Scheme
After account activation, log in with your credentials. From the dashboard, select the appropriate certification scheme — ISI Mark (Product Certification), CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme), or FMCS (Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme).
Fill the Application Form
Complete the online application form with accurate details including: product details, applicable Indian Standard (IS) number, manufacturing unit address, production capacity, brand name, and model/variant information.
Upload Required Documents
Upload all mandatory documents in the specified formats (usually PDF, max 5MB per file). This includes test reports from BIS-recognized labs, factory layout, manufacturing process flow, quality control plan, and business registration documents.
Pay the Application Fee
Make the application fee payment through the integrated payment gateway. BIS accepts online payments via net banking, credit/debit cards, and UPI. The fee varies by scheme — INR 1,000 for CRS, INR 1,000-2,000 for ISI Mark applications.
Track Application Status
After submission, you receive an application reference number. Use this to track your application status on the MANAK portal. BIS may raise queries or request additional documents — respond promptly to avoid delays.
Receive Registration Certificate
Once BIS completes the review (and factory inspection for ISI Mark), the registration/licence certificate is issued digitally through the MANAK portal. Download your certificate and the unique registration number (R-Number for CRS or CM/L number for ISI).

Pro Tip from Standphill India

Common Mistakes That Delay BIS Registration
Based on our experience with 500+ BIS registrations, here are the most frequent mistakes applicants make on the MANAK portal — and how to avoid them.
Incorrect IS Number Selection
Verify the exact Indian Standard applicable to your product. Selecting the wrong IS number will result in outright rejection. Consult with Standphill India to identify the correct standard.
Expired Lab Test Reports
BIS requires test reports not older than 1 year from the date of application. Plan your lab testing timeline accordingly to avoid re-testing costs and delays.
Incomplete Document Uploads
Missing even one mandatory document causes BIS to raise a query, adding 2-4 weeks to the process. Use a comprehensive checklist before submission.
Incorrect Product Classification
Misclassifying your product category leads to wrong scheme selection and wasted time. Proper product assessment is critical before starting the application.
Ignoring BIS Queries
BIS raises queries through the MANAK portal. Delayed responses push your application to the back of the queue. Monitor your portal dashboard daily and respond within 48 hours.
Not Planning for Factory Inspection
ISI Mark and FMCS applications require factory inspections. Ensure your factory is audit-ready with proper quality systems, testing equipment, and documentation before applying.
