Service overview

Udyam replaced the older Udyog Aadhaar and EM-II registrations as the single MSME registry. Registration happens on the government portal against the entity's PAN, with self-declared investment in plant and machinery and turnover deciding the classification (micro, small, or medium) under the current ceiling definitions. The registration itself is free of government fee; what matters is classifying and describing the activity correctly, because the certificate feeds lender and buyer checks.

The registration unlocks practical benefits: priority-sector lending treatment, protection of payment timelines for MSME suppliers under the delayed-payment rules, public procurement preferences and reservations, and eligibility for credit-linked schemes. It also carries duties, the registry expects income-tax-return-linked updates, and the classification re-verifies against actuals, so a business that grows out of its band should be re-classified rather than silently mis-registered.

Rapidfiling prepares the registration with the NIC activity codes matching what you actually do, files it, and sets the update reminders that keep the certificate honest.

Frequently asked questions

Is Udyam registration really free?

The government portal charges nothing for Udyam registration. Our fee covers the work around it, classification, NIC codes, and filing so the certificate is right the first time.

What are the micro, small, and medium limits?

Ceilings are defined by investment in plant and machinery and turnover, and are revised by notification from time to time. We check the current limits when filing and flag when a growing business crosses a band.

What does the delayed-payment protection mean?

Registered MSME suppliers are entitled to payment within the timelines the MSMED Act prescribes, with interest on delay. Buyers' systems and lenders check the registration, which is why suppliers register.

Do I need to update it annually?

The registry links to income tax and GST returns and expects updates; classification is re-verified against actuals. We set the reminders and handle updates as your figures change.
