Udyam Registration
The Ministry of MSME introduced Udyam Registration in July 2020 to give small businesses an official identity under Indian law. If your enterprise qualifies as micro, small, or medium, you can register using just your Aadhaar and PAN — no physical documents, no office visits.
Who qualifies as an MSME?
Classification is based on two factors: investment in plant & machinery and annual turnover.
- Micro enterprise — Investment up to ₹1 crore, turnover up to ₹5 crore
- Small enterprise — Investment up to ₹10 crore, turnover up to ₹50 crore
- Medium enterprise — Investment up to ₹50 crore, turnover up to ₹250 crore
Proprietorships, partnership firms, LLPs, private limited companies, trusts, and HUFs all qualify — provided they fall within these thresholds. Once registered, you get a unique Udyam Registration Number and a certificate that's valid for life. No renewals, no annual filings.
