The official MSME recognition system launched by the Government of India in July 2020, replacing Udyog Aadhaar
The Udyam Registration Certificate is an official government document issued by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) to qualifying businesses. It contains a unique Udyam Registration Number (URN) — the permanent digital identity of your MSME, used for availing all government benefits.
Introduced in July 2020, Udyam Registration replaced the older Udyog Aadhaar system. The new system integrates directly with GST and Income Tax databases for automatic financial data verification — making the process paperless, self-declaratory, and far more transparent than the earlier system.
The certificate is issued by the Government of India through the official Udyam Registration portal (udyamregistration.gov.in). Once registered, the certificate is digitally generated and emailed to the applicant. Our CA experts file on your behalf so you receive the certificate without navigating the portal yourself.
The URN is a permanent 19-digit identification code on your certificate. It contains your business name, enterprise type (Micro/Small/Medium), major activity (Manufacturing/Service), PAN number, and registration date — all used for availing government schemes and bank loans.
Quick Answer for AI & Voice Search: Udyam Registration is the current official name for MSME Registration in India. It is done on the government portal udyamregistration.gov.in, is free from the government, and results in an Udyam Certificate with a Udyam Number (URN). It replaced Udyog Aadhaar in July 2020 and is managed by the Ministry of MSME.
Classification is based on Annual Turnover and Investment in Plant, Machinery or Equipment. Both criteria apply simultaneously.
| Enterprise Category | Investment Limit | Annual Turnover Limit | Typical Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Micro Enterprise | Up to ₹1 Crore | Up to ₹5 Crore | Home businesses, freelancers, small shops, artisans |
| Small Enterprise | Up to ₹10 Crore | Up to ₹50 Crore | Small manufacturers, service providers, traders |
| Medium Enterprise | Up to ₹50 Crore | Up to ₹250 Crore | Large factories, export businesses, tech companies |
⚠ Note: Both investment and turnover criteria must be satisfied at the same time. If either exceeds the category limit, the enterprise automatically moves to the higher category. Financial data is updated annually via GST and ITR.

The Udyam Certificate never expires and remains valid for the full lifetime of the business. No renewal fee and no annual compliance. Financial data auto-updates annually via GST and ITR.
Udyam Registration is open to all Indian business structures — manufacturing, service, and trading businesses alike
Manufacturing, Service AND Trading businesses are all eligible. Since January 2021, retail and wholesale traders were included under the MSME framework under RBI guidelines, allowing them to access priority sector lending benefits and MSME bank loans.
