Micro, small and medium enterprises make up the backbone of Amritsar’s economy, yet many still have not registered on the government’s Udyam portal. Registration is free and fully online, and it opens the door to a wide range of government benefits. Here is a simple guide from ADCCI.

What is Udyam Registration?

Udyam Registration is the official registration for MSMEs under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. Once registered, your enterprise receives a permanent Udyam Registration Number and an e-certificate that serve as proof of MSME status.

Who counts as an MSME?

Enterprises are classified by investment in plant and machinery (or equipment) and annual turnover. Under the revised limits:

  • 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

Limits are revised from time to time. Always check the latest figures on the official Udyam portal.

Why register?

  • Easier access to collateral-free loans and priority-sector lending
  • Protection against delayed payments from buyers under the MSMED Act
  • Eligibility for government schemes, subsidies and procurement preferences
  • Concessions on certain fees, such as for trademarks and patents
  • Recognition when applying for tenders, export support and cluster programmes

How to register, step by step

  1. Visit the official portal at udyamregistration.gov.in. Registration is free, so avoid agents who charge for it.
  2. Enter the Aadhaar number of the proprietor, managing partner or director, and verify it with an OTP.
  3. Provide the PAN of the enterprise. Investment and turnover details are fetched automatically from the income tax and GST systems.
  4. Fill in business details: name, address, bank account, activity (manufacturing or services) and NIC code.
  5. Submit and verify with a final OTP. Your Udyam Registration Number and e-certificate will be issued online.
