Udyam registration is the free, paperless online MSME registration on the Ministry of MSME's Udyam portal: you authenticate with Aadhaar, your PAN and GST data are pulled in, and you receive a permanent Udyam Registration Number and e-certificate with no renewal. Since 1 April 2025 an enterprise is micro up to ₹2.5 crore investment and ₹10 crore turnover. CorporateWalla's help is optional and covers classification, NIC codes, the filing and later updates.
The process below is the same across India. These are the parts that are set by Ahmedabad and its state, and they are the parts that decide where your paperwork goes.

Udyam Registration is the Government of India's official registration system for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), administered through the Ministry of MSME.
A registered enterprise receives a permanent Udyam Registration Number and an online certificate with a dynamic QR code. The official portal states that there is no government fee for Udyam Registration and no renewal of the registration is required.
Udyam Registration is different from GST registration, company incorporation, Shop & Establishment registration, trade licence and other business registrations. One does not automatically replace the others.
From 1 April 2025, the MSME classification limits were revised. The current composite criteria are:
| Category | Investment in plant and machinery/equipment | Turnover |
|---|---|---|
| Micro enterprise | Up to ₹2.5 crore | Up to ₹10 crore |
| Small enterprise | Up to ₹25 crore | Up to ₹100 crore |
| Medium enterprise | Up to ₹125 crore | Up to ₹500 crore |
Both the investment and turnover criteria apply to classification. The official Udyam system uses government data sources for applicable PAN, GST and investment/turnover information.
| Category | Investment: old → new | Turnover: old → new |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | ₹1 crore → ₹2.5 crore | ₹5 crore → ₹10 crore |
| Small | ₹10 crore → ₹25 crore | ₹50 crore → ₹100 crore |
| Medium | ₹50 crore → ₹125 crore | ₹250 crore → ₹500 crore |
A Pune auto-parts maker has plant and machinery of ₹3 crore and FY 2025-26 turnover of ₹14 crore, of which ₹6 crore is exports. Turnover for classification is ₹8 crore, inside the micro limit of ₹10 crore. But investment of ₹3 crore is above the micro limit of ₹2.5 crore, so the unit is a small enterprise. Under the pre-2025 limits the same unit was also small; the higher limits matter for a unit with, say, ₹2 crore investment and ₹8 crore domestic turnover, which moved from small to micro.

Investment and turnover figures are taken from ITR and GST data where available.
Only the official government Udyam portal issues Udyam registration. Look-alike sites that charge a “registration fee” are not the government. CorporateWalla files on the official portal and charges only a disclosed professional fee.
Udyam Registration can be relevant for eligible enterprises engaged in manufacturing, services, trading or combinations of permitted activities.
Depending on the legal structure, the person providing the Aadhaar authentication can differ. The registration process should therefore be completed using the ownership / authorised-person details required by the official portal.
Udyam registration is not a substitute for deciding whether your business separately needs GST, FSSAI, IEC, Shops & Establishments registration, professional tax, trade licence or other approvals.
The official Udyam portal states that MSME/Udyam Registration is free and that no private online or offline person or agency is authorised to charge a government registration fee for the Udyam registration itself.
CorporateWalla can provide optional professional assistance for businesses that want help with data preparation, classification, verification, updates or related advisory. Any professional fee is kept clearly separate from the ₹0 government registration fee.
The official portal uses Aadhaar authentication and pulls applicable PAN/GST-linked information from government databases. The official process generally does not require uploading a large document bundle. The exact fields shown by the government portal control the filing.
Udyam Registration provides a permanent registration number and the official portal states that there is no need for renewal.
This does not mean enterprise information can be ignored after registration. Businesses should keep their Udyam information current and complete required updates or verification when prompted by the official system.
Udyam registration can be useful when an enterprise wants to establish its MSME status for schemes, programmes, procurement or other benefits for which MSME registration is an eligibility condition.
However, Udyam registration does not automatically approve a loan, subsidy, tax deduction, tender preference, collateral-free finance or any other commercial/government benefit. Each benefit has its own eligibility conditions, application process and competent authority.
Where relevant, the business may separately explore:
The applicable scheme rules should always be checked before making a benefit claim.
MSME registration can be relevant to protections and remedies available to eligible micro and small enterprises under the MSMED framework concerning delayed payments.
These protections are not the same as a general “late payment protection” for every enterprise. Eligibility, buyer relationship, transaction and procedural requirements matter. Traders and other enterprise categories can also have different treatment under particular provisions or schemes.
Retail and wholesale trade enterprises can obtain Udyam Registration under the government framework, subject to the applicable rules. However, registration does not mean every MSME benefit applies identically to traders.
For example, priority-sector-lending treatment and delayed-payment protections can have different eligibility rules. Traders do not receive every MSME benefit simply because they have a Udyam number.
| Registration | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Udyam Registration | Establishes MSME/Udyam status |
| GST Registration | Applies where GST registration is required under GST law |
| FSSAI | Applies to covered food businesses |
| IEC | Required for applicable import/export activities |
| Shop & Establishment / Trade Licence | May apply depending on the state, municipality and business activity |
| Company/LLP registration | Establishes the legal entity where incorporation is required or chosen |
A business may need more than one of these registrations.
Udyam Registration is designed to be completed online through the official government portal without a government registration fee. Professional assistance is therefore optional.
A business may still choose assistance where it wants help interpreting the classification criteria, preparing information, selecting activities, correcting/update issues, coordinating related registrations or understanding which MSME schemes may separately apply.
Share your business structure, activity, approximate investment and turnover. CorporateWalla can help you determine the relevant classification and assist with the official Udyam process or subsequent update.
The Udyam Registration Number and certificate are issued through the government system, not by CorporateWalla. Classification criteria, Aadhaar/PAN/GST requirements and update procedures are governed by the official Udyam Registration portal and the Ministry of MSME framework.
