Introduction: Fueling the Indian economy, MSMEs stand as its bedrock. With a democratic ethos and widespread economic participation, the Indian government prioritizes their promotion. This article delves into the intricacies of the MSME Udyam registration process, offering a step-by-step guide for businesses. Beyond the process, we uncover a myriad of benefits, empowering MSMEs with advantages such as interest subvention, protection against delayed payments, and preferential treatment in government

Udyam Registration Process:

After ascertaining the eligibility, one can proceed to the following:

1. Keep ready with the following:

  • PAN of proprietor/managing partner/authorized signatory
  • Aadhar Number of the above
  • Cheque Book with Bank account details-IFSC and Bank account number
  • Address- Block Number to be mentioned in the address
  • GSTIN if required under GST
  • ITR filed details
  • Aadhar linked mobile number, as OTP will be received in this number
  • Email ID

2. Log on to udyamregistration.gov.in: Window will open and fill the basic details:

After verification of Aadhar, PAN verification will be done and then the system will ask details about ITR and GSTIN.

Next, the portal will take you to fill the details of Udyam Registration:

In the above, the MSME will fill the general details. However, while filling the details of address, block number is a must. Another point is filling proper NIC code of manufacturing/service activities. A three stage drop down list is available for filling appropriate NIC code.  The last stage is the income tax and other details in point number 20 and 21. This will be enabled after verification of Income Tax Department.

The point number 22 will ask for interest in registration with GeM portal. It is advised to tick it, as it will enable the MSME to sell its products or services on huge number on the GeM portal.

The point number 23 is asking for interest in registration on TReDS Portal. It is an electronic platform facilitating MSMEs to finance or discount trade receivables. It uses auction mechanism for sellers, promoting competitive rates from multiple financers.

Tick the other points in Yes, particularly point 26 as it will enable you to get free .in domain and business email ID.

After submission, a Thank You message will appear.
