MSME / Udyam registration

Udyam registration formally classifies your business as a micro, small, or medium enterprise, unlocking a range of government support schemes, credit benefits, and procurement preferences.

This section is general educational orientation, not legal, tax, or professional advice. Registration thresholds, rates, and rules change and often vary by state — always confirm current requirements with a qualified chartered accountant, company secretary, or lawyer before acting.

Why it's worth doing

Registered MSMEs often get preferential lending terms, protection against delayed payments from larger buyers, and eligibility for various government schemes and subsidies not available to unregistered businesses.

Classification

Businesses are classified as micro, small, or medium based on investment in plant/equipment and annual turnover, with specific thresholds set and periodically revised by the government — check the current classification criteria on the official Udyam portal.

How to register

Registration is done online through the official Udyam portal and is generally free — be cautious of third parties charging significant fees for a straightforward self-service process.
