Udyam registration is the MSME registration for micro, small and medium enterprises. It is done online on udyamregistration.gov.in, and the official portal states that the process is free. A West Bengal business follows the same national process as any other state.
Who needs this
- Micro and small manufacturers or service providers in West Bengal
- Traders and contractors who want MSME benefits from banks and schemes
- Businesses that need an MSME certificate for tenders
- Owners moving from an older Udyog Aadhaar to Udyam
What it is
Udyam registration gives an enterprise an Udyam Registration Number and a certificate. The classification as micro, small or medium depends on the investment and turnover declared. Registration is self-declared and linked to the owner's Aadhaar. It is not a licence to operate.
Eligibility
- The enterprise is in manufacturing or services
- Investment and turnover fall within the limits for its class
- The owner or authorised signatory has an Aadhaar
