The free, paperless process

Register at the Udyam Registration portal with your Aadhaar (linked to a mobile) and PAN. Turnover and investment are auto-fetched from tax and GST data. You instantly get a Udyam certificate — no fee, no agent needed.

Why register

Registered MSMEs get collateral-free loans, lower interest, tender preference, subsidies, and the key protection of the 45-day payment rule — buyers who delay payment owe penal interest, enforceable through MSME Samadhaan.
