MSME/Udyam Registration

Udyam Registration

In today's competitive business landscape, it is crucial for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to leverage government initiatives that simplify operations, provide formal recognition, and unlock various benefits. Udyam Registration, formerly known as Udyog Aadhaar Registration, is an initiative introduced by the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises to support the growth and development of MSMEs across India.

Introduced on 1st July 2020, Udyam Registration replaced the earlier Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM) system while introducing revised classification criteria based on investment and annual turnover.

LegallensIndia simplifies the Udyam Registration process by helping businesses obtain their Udyam Registration Number and Udyam Certificate quickly and efficiently.
