Udyog Aadhaar For MSME – Registration, Documents & Benefits

The new registration process for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises came into effect on behalf of Udyam Registration from 1st July 2020.

Introduction 

Starting from 1st July, enterprises can register themselves based on Aadhaar number alone. It’s the new norms notified by the Government on 26th June 2020.   Certificates and documents are no longer required for online registration. They can provide these details with a self-declaration. As a result of the successful integration of the GST and income tax registration processes, this new process is named ‘Udyam Registration’.

Udyog Aadhaar was introduced on 18th September 2015 to boost the small scale business in our country.
