UDYAM Registration Process – MSME’s can register for Udyam online

The government of India is trying to promote micro, small and medium business structures by offering them a viable market to innovate and do business with ease and proper assistance.

Once you complete the registration process, an e-certificate titled “Udyam Registration Certificate” will be issued.

Micro, small and medium enterprises can be categorized on the following basis –

• Micro-Enterprise – Ventures with machinery and plant investment worth Rs. One crore and a maximum turnover of Rs. five crores. 
• Small enterprise- Ventures with machinery and plant investment worth Rs. Ten crores and a maximum turnover of Rs. 50 crores.

The Udyam registration portal is fully integrated with the income tax and GSTIN system. GST is not mandatory for companies that do not require GST registration under the GST Act. However, companies that need to obtain GST registration under the GST system must obtain GST registration to obtain Udyam registration.
