Udyam registration is the government's record of micro, small and medium enterprises. It is free, it is based on self-declaration linked to PAN and GST, and it unlocks a set of real benefits — protection under the delayed payments provisions, priority sector lending, tender preferences, and reduced fees on trademark and patent filings.
Who needs this
- Manufacturing and service businesses within the investment and turnover limits
- Businesses supplying to corporates or government who face slow payment
- Startups filing for a trademark or patent, where the fee reduction is substantial
- Anyone applying for a collateral-free credit scheme
Documents required
This is the usual list. Depending on your state and your specific facts, an authority may ask for more — we tell you at the scope stage rather than midway through.
- Aadhaar of the proprietor, managing partner or authorised director
- PAN of the business
- GSTIN, where the business is registered
- Bank account details
- Investment and turnover figures from the last filed return
How we handle it
1. Classification
We determine whether the enterprise falls in the micro, small or medium bracket on the basis of investment in plant and machinery and of turnover.
2. Registration
The Udyam application is filed with Aadhaar authentication and PAN and GST validation.
3. Certificate
The Udyam registration certificate with a permanent registration number is issued.
4. Using the benefits
We tell you which benefits actually apply to you, rather than listing all of them — most businesses use two or three.
Fees and timeline
The delayed payment protection is the benefit most businesses under-use. A registered micro or small enterprise is entitled to payment within a statutory period, with compound interest on delay, and the buyer cannot deduct that interest for tax purposes.
We quote after a short conversation rather than publishing a single number, because the honest answer depends on your state, your turnover and your category. Call +91 98999 00300 or send the details through the enquiry form.
Common questions
Is there a fee?
No. Udyam registration is free on the government portal. Anyone charging a government fee for it is charging you for nothing.
Does the classification update automatically?
Yes, it is linked to your filed income tax and GST returns and is refreshed on that basis.
Can a trader register?
Retail and wholesale trade are included for the purpose of priority sector lending benefits.
