📘 Udyam Registration 2025: Complete Guide for MSMEs in India

Q: Who must register under Udyam?

All qualifying MSMEs, including traders and startups. Old UAM/EM-II holders must migrate—this is essential to access Budget 2025 schemes.

❓ What is Udyam Registration?

Udyam Registration is the Government of India’s streamlined online portal, launched in July 2020, for classifying and registering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). It provides a unique 19-digit Udyam Registration Number (URN) and a digital certificate upon successful registration.

This lifetime certificate requires no renewal and grants access to a wide array of government subsidies, priority lending, tax incentives, and protective schemes tailored for MSMEs.
Essentially, Udyam Registration is a free, mandatory step for eligible businesses to formalize their MSME status and unlock essential support for growth and sustainability.

Visit: nsws.gov.in or services.india.gov.in to get started.

👥 Who Should Register? (Eligibility Criteria 2025)

All manufacturing, service, trading, wholesale, or retail enterprises qualifying as MSMEs can register under Udyam, provided they meet the revised composite criteria (effective since June 2020):

📌 Micro Enterprise: Investment in plant & machinery/equipment ≤ ₹1 crore AND Annual Turnover ≤ ₹5 crore.

📌 Small Enterprise: Investment ≤ ₹10 crore AND Turnover ≤ ₹50 crore.

📌 Medium Enterprise: Investment ≤ ₹50 crore AND Turnover ≤ ₹250 crore.

➤ Exceeding Limits and PAN Aggregation

Exceeding limits in either investment or turnover results in automatic reclassification to the next category. All units operating under a single PAN are aggregated when calculating these thresholds. Traders and retailers now also fully qualify as MSMEs, provided they remain within the defined limits.

      Example: A Bengaluru-based software service firm with ₹8 crore investment and ₹40 crore turnover qualifies as a Small Enterprise, and is thus eligible for Udyam Registration and related benefits, such as enhanced credit guarantees introduced in Budget 2025.
    

🚫 Who Should NOT Register?

✘ Enterprises that surpass the investment or turnover thresholds (e.g., large corporations).
✘ Non-business entities such as non-profits, government departments, or informal freelancers with no structured operations.

Note: Udyam is designed for formal, operational MSMEs involved in production, services, or trade. Visit nitiforstates.gov.in for guidance.

📝 Step-by-Step Udyam Registration Process (2025)

Access the Portal: Visit udyamregistration.gov.in and click on “For New Entrepreneurs who are not Registered yet as MSME.”
Aadhaar Validation: Enter the proprietor's/partner's/Karta's Aadhaar number and name; validate using the OTP sent to the mobile number linked with Aadhaar.
Enterprise Details: Fill in PAN, GSTIN (if applicable), enterprise name, type (manufacturing/service/trade), address, bank details, investment & turnover data, NIC code, and employee strength.
Auto-Verification & Submission: System cross-verifies data with ITR/GST databases. Review details and submit.
Certificate Issuance: Instantly download your Udyam Certificate containing a URN, QR code, and enterprise classification.

💡 Pro Tip: Registration is 100% free. Avoid paid agents. Use the official Udyam Assist Platform if Aadhaar is unavailable for informal businesses.
