Udyam Registration (MSME Registration)

MSME stands for micro, small, and medium enterprises and all the businesses or enterprise that falls under these categories are considered to be MSME. The MSME sector has emerged as a dynamic sector of the Indian economy over the last few decades. It contributes enormously to the socio-economic development of the country.

Further, it has a large share of jobs, production, and exports. The primary responsibility for the promotion and development of MSMEs is of the State Governments. However, the Government of India supplements the efforts of the State Governments through various initiatives.

Moreover, an MSME registered under the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Development Act 2006 can avail of various benefits as provided by Government and other Regulatory Bodies. It can get bank loans at a cheaper rate, tax benefits, preference in the tender stage, subsidies, and access to various schemes and incentives of the government. A business entity that has registered itself under MSME Act is entitled to avail of all these benefits.

Furthermore, MSME Registration (Udyam Registration) process is completely online but you will require a professional to fill up your application and get it approved by the department. It is a voluntary registration for the businesses but it is always suggested in order to have Government backing for the enterprises.

As a result, numerous medium and small-scale industries are stepping forward to register under Udyam Registration.
