Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) play an important part in the development of the Indian economy. The goal of introducing Udyam Registration was to streamline the procedure that business owners had to go through in order to register their company as a Micro Small Medium Enterprise, or MSME. However, Udyog Aadhaar Registration is now being transferred to Udyam Registration.

If you operate a medium, small, or micro-enterprise and haven’t registered it yet, you should know that registering your MSME through Udyam Registration entitles you to a slew of perks.

What is Udyog Aadhaar?

The Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum is the registration form on which the MSME declares its existence and provides required information like as the owner’s Aadhar details, bank account details, and so on. After submitting this form, an acknowledgement form including the applicant’s unique UAN is sent to the applicant’s registered email address (Udyog Aadhaar Number). There is no requirement for supporting paperwork because it is a self-declaration form.

To benefit from Udyog Adhar registration, SSIs or MSMEs must move to Udyam Registration. Otherwise, the enterprises must re-register using the Udyam Registration Portal.

Benefits of Udyog Aadhar for MSME
