UDYAM PORTAL

According to the Union Minister of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, over one crore Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have registered on the Udyam portal in the past 25 months.

What is the Udyam portal??

  • The Union MSME ministry introduced an online mechanism for registering MSMEs.
  • Additionally, it is connected to the databases of the Goods and Services Tax Network and the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT).
  • A channel of communication and engagement between taxpayers, the federal government, several state governments, and other stakeholders is established via the complex and one-of-a-kind IT enterprise known as GSTN.
  • It is entirely online, doesn't call for any paperwork, and helps MSMEs operate more easily.

Feature

  • The MSME registration process is entirely electronic, paperless, and self-declaratory. No documentation or paperwork must be uploaded in order to register an MSME.
  • After registration, a Registration number will be provided.
  • An Udyam Registration Certificate will be issued once the registration process is complete. This certificate will feature a dynamic QR Code that may be used to visit the web page on our portal and information about the company.
