What Udyam (MSME) registration gives you
- Priority-sector and collateral-free lending under government credit schemes
- Protection under the MSME delayed-payment rules (interest on overdue B2B payments)
- Concessions on patent/trademark fees and certain subsidies
- Preference in government tenders
Classification
- Micro, Small or Medium based on investment in plant/equipment and annual turnover
- Updated periodically — check current thresholds before applying
How to register
Udyam registration is online, free, and based on your Aadhaar and PAN. There is no need to pay an agent — the portal does not charge a fee.
The delayed-payment protection alone is worth registering for if you sell B2B and chase invoices.
