Types of MSMEs

Manufacturing Organisations and Service Businesses are the two categories that make up the MSME classification system, which was established by the Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises Development Act of 2006. The businesses are subdivided even further into categories according to their yearly sales and investment in machinery.

Investment cap for MSMEs

The investment cap for micro enterprises is less than Rs 1 crore; the investment cap for small enterprises is between Rs 1-10 crore; and the investment cap for medium enterprises is between Rs 10-50 crore. The turnover cap for micro enterprises is less than Rs 5 crore; the turnover cap for small enterprises is between Rs 1-25 crore; and the turnover cap for medium enterprises is between Rs 26-250 crore.

Criteria for MSME registration

Aadhaar Cards and Permanent Account Number Cards (PAN Cards) are the only forms of identification needed for MSME registration. The registration process for MSME may be completed entirely online, and submitting proof of paperwork is not necessary. PAN and GST associated details on financing and revenue of businesses will be acquired digitally from government records through the Udyam Registration Portal. The Income Tax and GSTIN systems are both completely included within the Udyam Registration Portal.

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is not required to be paid by businesses exempt from registering for GST under the legislation governing GST. On the other hand, in order to receive Udyam Registration, a business must first have GST Registration. 

The Udyam Registration Portal requires that anybody having a UAM membership or any other licensing issued by an agency under the Ministry of MSME re-register by selecting the “new businesses who are not Registered as MSME or those with EM-II” option.

Entrepreneurs with UAM registrations must switch to Udyam registrations by 30 June 2022 if they want to keep their UAM registrations valid and be eligible for the MSMEs’ perks.

Online registration process for MSME

The registration process for MSME may be completed entirely online. The government website udyamregistration.gov.in is where individuals should go to register their MSME businesses online. The site allows registration of MSMEs under the following categories:

For new businesses not yet registered as MSME or EM-II

The option “For New Entrepreneurs who are not yet Registered as MSME or those with EM-II” displayed on the main website for enrolling MSME must be clicked by businesses with EM-II certification and young ventures. In order to register a new MSME, you must provide your Aadhaar card number as well as your PAN number.

Following the entry of these particulars, it is necessary to click the “Validate and Generate OTP Button” tab. The PAN Verification window will load when this button has been clicked, the OTP has been received, and it has been input.

The business owner is responsible for entering the “Type of Organisation” and the PAN Number, after which they must click the “Validate PAN” button. The PAN records are retrieved from the official databases through the site, and the PAN identity of the business owner is checked for accuracy.

The Udyam Registration screen will appear when the PAN is verified, and the businesses will need to fill in their personal data as well as the details of their firm.

Clicking the “Submit and Get Final OTP” button on the MSME application form should be done after all of the fields on the form have been filled out. Following the completion of the MSME online signup process, a notification of completing the registration process along with a reference number will be shown. It is possible that a few days will pass between the verification of the MSME registration form and the issuance of the Udyam Registration Certificate.

Registration for business owners already possessing UAM

Clicking the button labelled “For those already having registration as UAM” or “For those already having registration as UAM via Assisted filing” is required for individuals who already have UAM registration. This will open a new page that requires the user to input their Udyog Aadhaar Number and pick an option for an OTP.

The alternatives that are available are to acquire the OTP on your mobile device after the UAM has been typed in, or to receive the OTP on the email after the UAM has been typed in. The “Validate and Generate OTP” button has to be clicked on once the OTP Options have been selected. Following the input of the one-time password, the MSME application form must have the corresponding data filled out before the Udyam registration can be considered finished.
