Udyam Registration is the Government of India's official online portal for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) registration, launched by the Ministry of MSME on 1 July 2020. It replaced the earlier Udyog Aadhar Memorandum (UAM) system with a fully digital, Aadhaar-linked, PAN-verified process that auto-populates key financial data from Income Tax and GST databases — eliminating manual documentation for most enterprises and generating a permanent Udyam Registration Number (URN) and downloadable certificate instantly upon verification.

Our Udyam Registration services assist businesses in completing fresh registrations, migrating from Udyog Aadhar, making amendments, and understanding the full range of MSME benefits available after registration. This service connects with our MSME registration advisory, Startup India recognition for dual-qualifying entities, and business restructuring services for entities undergoing MSME reclassification.
