Ans. Information as regards to turnover for an enterprise is linked to the GSTIN No. and last year filed GST Return.
The boxes for the same are not filled at the time of submission, the amount of turnover is to be checked by the portal at back end after submission of the application.
Further, Applicant file application on a self-declaration basis who do not have filed even one return under GST can fill the details on self- declaration basis and shall file the application on or before 31.04.2021 with filed GST details.
Q.15. What Value of Plant and Machinery or Equipment is to be taken for registration purposes?

But UDYAM Portal has been capturing the depreciated cost as on 31st March of the relevant year and based on the same entities are classified and the certificate is generated.
Therefore, ministry issues a clarification for the same dated 06/08/2020. Now the value of Plant and Machinery or Equipments shall mean the Written Down Value (WDV) as at the end of the Financial Year as reflected in the last year filed ITR and not the acquisition cost or original price.
With the above clarification ministry also requested RBI to revisit it’s circular dated 02/07/2020 in respect to the calculation of Plant and Machinery or Equipments:

Ministry of MSMEs, in that, regards amended its Office Memorandum dated 27/06/2017 and substitute the word “Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum” with “UDYAM Certificate”, vide notification dated 17/07/2020.
