Udyog Aadhaar to Udyam Registration: Process, Deadline & Requirements

Step wise process UDYAM registration for existing MSME registered before 30th June 2020

Officially, MSMEs are characterized as far as investment in plant and machinery. Be that as it may, this measure for the definition was long criticized because credible and precise details of investments were not easily available by authorities. Accordingly in February 2018, the Union Cabinet chose to change the basis to "yearly turnover", which was more in accordance with the burden of GST.

The Central Government, in the wake of acquiring the proposals of the Advisory Committee, has informed certain standards for arranging the enterprises as micro, small and medium enterprises and has determined the structure and method for recording the update (Udyam Registration), with impact from first July, 2020.

Any person who intends to establish a micro, small or medium enterprise may file Udyam Registration online in the Udyam Registration portal on self-declaration.
