Introduction to MSME / Udyam Registration
MSME / Udyam Registration provides eligible micro, small and medium enterprises with an official identity under the Government of India's Udyam registration framework.
The MSME sector plays an important role in India's economic development by supporting entrepreneurship, employment generation, manufacturing, services and innovation across different industries.
Udyam Registration has replaced earlier MSME registration systems and provides eligible enterprises with a permanent registration number and an electronic certificate.
At GKS & Associates, we assist businesses with the registration process, classification, documentation and related compliance requirements so that entrepreneurs can focus on growing their business.
New MSME Classification Criteria
MSME classification is determined using prescribed investment and annual turnover criteria. Businesses are classified as Micro, Small or Medium enterprises according to the applicable government thresholds.
| Category | Investment in Plant & Machinery / Equipment | Annual Turnover |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | Not more than ₹2.5 Crore | Not more than ₹10 Crore |
| Small | Not more than ₹25 Crore | Not more than ₹100 Crore |
| Medium | Not more than ₹125 Crore | Not more than ₹500 Crore |
Important Classification Note
An enterprise may move to a higher MSME category when it crosses the prescribed ceiling under the applicable investment or turnover criteria.
- Classification depends on the prescribed investment and turnover criteria.
- Relevant financial information should be reported accurately.
- Businesses should periodically review their classification status.
