What is Udyam Registration?
Udyam registration is the official registration of an enterprise as an MSME under the MSMED Act, 2006, done on the government's Udyam Registration portal. Each enterprise receives a permanent Udyam Registration Number and an e-certificate.
Who Can Register?
Manufacturing and service enterprises, including proprietorships, partnership firms, LLPs, companies, HUFs, co-operatives and societies. Traders can also register, although some benefits apply only to manufacturing and service enterprises.
MSME Classification
Enterprises are classified on both investment in plant and machinery or equipment and annual turnover. The limits were revised with effect from April 2025 and, broadly, are:
- Micro: investment up to ₹2.5 crore and turnover up to ₹10 crore
- Small: investment up to ₹25 crore and turnover up to ₹100 crore
- Medium: investment up to ₹125 crore and turnover up to ₹500 crore
Investment and turnover data are taken from ITR and GST records, so these should be accurate.
Benefits of Udyam Registration
- Protection against delayed payments: buyers must generally pay registered micro and small enterprises within the time limit under the MSMED Act, and delayed payments can carry interest and affect the buyer's tax deduction
- Priority sector lending and easier access to collateral-free credit schemes
- Benefits in government procurement and tenders
- Eligibility for various central and state subsidy schemes
Process
- Visit the Udyam Registration portal and enter the Aadhaar of the proprietor, managing partner or director
- Verify through OTP
- Enter PAN; investment and turnover details are fetched from government databases where available
- Fill in business details, NIC codes for activities, bank details and employment
