What is MSME / Udhyam Registration?
Udhyam Registration, also known as MSME Registration, is a government registration process in India for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). It is an online registration process introduced by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises to simplify the registration process for MSMEs and to provide them with various benefits and support schemes.
Under the Udhyam Registration process, MSMEs can register themselves and obtain a unique Udyam Registration Number (URN). This registration is based on self-declaration of the enterprise's details, such as business name, type, Aadhaar number of the owner, and other information related to the enterprise's operations and financials.
Udhyam Registration is important for MSMEs as it enables them to avail various benefits and schemes offered by the government, such as priority sector lending, subsidies, incentives, and support for technology upgradation. It also helps in the ease of doing business by simplifying the registration process and providing a single registration platform for MSMEs.
