TERMS & CONDITIONS

By subscribing to the above plans, you agree to abide by our following additional terms and conditions

  1. Government Fee: As per the Ministry of MSME notification dated 26 June 2020, the government does not charge any fee for Udyam Registration. GST registration government fee is also NIL. Trademark government fee is payable separately at Rs.4,500 per class (MSME / individual rate, with valid Udyam) or Rs.9,000 per class (standard rate).
  2. GST on Our Fee: All quoted prices are exclusive of GST @ 18%, charged at checkout.
  3. Scope per Udyam: Each plan covers ONE Udyam Registration per applicant (per PAN). As per Section 8(8) of the MSMED Act read with the 26 June 2020 notification, only ONE Udyam can be filed per enterprise. Multiple Udyam filings under the same PAN are not permitted.
  4. Self-Declaration: Udyam is a SELF-DECLARATION-based registration. Investment in plant & machinery / equipment and turnover figures provided by you are auto-verified against ITR + GSTR data from FY 2020-21 onwards. Misdeclaration triggers automatic re-classification and (in serious cases) penalties under Section 27 of the MSMED Act.
  5. MSME Classification (FY 2025-26): Per the Budget 2025 amendment effective 1 April 2025: Micro — Investment ≤ Rs.2.5 cr AND Turnover ≤ Rs.10 cr. Small — Investment ≤ Rs.25 cr AND Turnover ≤ Rs.100 cr. Medium — Investment ≤ Rs.125 cr AND Turnover ≤ Rs.500 cr. Both conditions must be met; crossing either pushes the enterprise into the next category.
  6. Aadhaar Requirement: Mandatory under Rule 4(1) of the MSMED notifications. For proprietorships — proprietor's Aadhaar. For partnerships / HUF — managing partner's / karta's Aadhaar. For Pvt Ltd / LLP / Co-op / Trust / Society — authorised signatory's Aadhaar with authorisation document. Mobile must be linked to Aadhaar for OTP authentication.
  7. Refund Policy: Full refund (less Rs.299 documentation handling) is available if the Udyam application is not filed within 3 working days from receipt of complete documents. Once Udyam Number is generated, no refund is payable as the work is substantively complete. For Enriched / Supreme: pro-rata refund on the GST / Trademark component if not filed within 7 working days.
  8. Trademark Scope (Supreme Tier): Includes 1 trademark application in 1 class. Examination response support, hearing representation, opposition handling, oppositions filed by third parties, and renewal of registration (every 10 years) are out of scope and quoted separately if required.
Udyam Registration by Legal Terminus

Legal Terminus Priority ⚖

Anyone can file a UDYAM in 30 minutes, for free. The reason most businesses still pay for it: the wrong NIC code reclassifies you later, future updates / corrections need professional handling, and bundling Udyam with GST and Trademark from the same expert keeps your name and address consistent across all certificates so banks and buyers don't reject KYC for mismatches.

What you get

  • ⚡Same-day UDYAM Registration filing upon receipt of complete documents.
  • 🎯Expert review of your business activities and selection of appropriate NIC Codes.
  • 🔄Free support for UDYAM profile updates, corrections, and modifications for 1 year.
  • 📱Real-time status updates via Email and WhatsApp throughout the registration process.
  • 📑Post-registration kit including UDYAM Certificate, MSME benefits guide, and compliance support resources.
  • 🤝Single point of contact for UDYAM, GST, Trademark, Startup India, and other business registrations.

Important Notes

  • Aadhaar must be mobile-linked for OTP. If your registered mobile number changed and you didn't update Aadhaar, the filing fails. Update at any UIDAI centre BEFORE applying. Takes 7–10 days.
  • PAN-Aadhaar linkage is now mandatory (post-30 June 2023 deadline). Unlinked PANs are inoperative — Udyam filing on an inoperative PAN gets rejected. Check at incometax.gov.in before applying.
  • NIC code matters more than people think. Pick wrong (e.g. trading code for a manufacturing business) and you become ineligible for manufacturing-only subsidies (PMEGP capital subsidy, ZED tier benefits). We map carefully against your activities.
  • Udyam classification updates AUTOMATICALLY based on your ITR + GSTR data each year. If your investment + turnover crosses the slab during a year, you graduate to the next tier next FY (Micro → Small → Medium). Plan growth around this — some MSME benefits drop off above the Micro threshold.

Why Get Udyam Registered

Udyam Registration is the official MSME identity issued by the Ministry of MSME under the MSMED Act, 2006. It replaced the older Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM) system in July 2020 and is now mandatory for any business that wants to access MSME-specific benefits — and there are real benefits, not just ceremonial ones. Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act (effective FY 2023-24) makes it MANDATORY for your B2B customers to pay you within 45 days if you have a valid Udyam — failure means they cannot claim the expense as a tax deduction. That alone has rewritten payment behaviour across SME India.

Beyond Section 43B(h): CGTMSE-backed collateral-free loans up to Rs.5 cr, priority sector lending at softer rates, exemption from earnest money deposit on government tenders, GeM marketplace access, subsidies on patent / trademark / ISO certification, concessional electricity in some states, MSME Samadhaan portal for delayed payment recovery. The certificate is free; the network of benefits it unlocks is genuinely substantial.

MSME Classification (FY 2025-26): The Deep Dive

Per the Budget 2025 amendment to the MSMED Act, the classification thresholds were enhanced effective 1 April 2025. Both investment AND turnover conditions must be met for a category — crossing either limit pushes the enterprise into the next category.

CategoryInvestment in P&M / EquipmentTurnoverSector
MicroUp to Rs.2.5 croreUp to Rs.10 croreManufacturing + Service + Trading
SmallUp to Rs.25 croreUp to Rs.100 croreManufacturing + Service + Trading
MediumUp to Rs.125 croreUp to Rs.500 croreManufacturing + Service + Trading
Above Medium> Rs.125 crore> Rs.500 croreNot eligible for MSME benefits

05

Women-Led Enterprise Udyam

Udyam filed under a woman-promoter (≥ 51% ownership). Same registration form, but unlocks additional benefits — Stand-Up India loan (Rs.10L – Rs.1 cr), Mahila Coir Yojana, lower interest rates from select banks, dedicated incubators, and reservation in some government tenders.

06

SC/ST-Led Enterprise Udyam

Udyam filed by a SC/ST entrepreneur (≥ 51% ownership). Unlocks NSFDC / NSCFDC schemes, Stand-Up India loan, NSIC Single Point Registration with reservation in 4% of central PSU procurement, Credit Linked Capital Subsidy.

Benefits of Udyam / MSMEs Registration

Udyam isn't a vanity certificate — it's a key that unlocks specific, rupee-quantifiable benefits. Here's what genuinely matters once you're past Day 1:

Section 43B(h) — 45-Day Payment Protection

Your B2B customers MUST pay you within 45 days of invoice (or earlier as agreed). Failure = they cannot claim the expense as a deduction in their income tax. Effective FY 2023-24, this rule alone has shifted SME-side cashflow significantly. Only Udyam-registered businesses get this protection.

CGTMSE — Collateral-Free Loans up to Rs.5 cr

Credit Guarantee Fund Trust covers up to 85% of your loan from participating banks. You don't need to pledge property. Processing fee 1–1.5%, guarantee fee 0.75–1.5% annual. Massive working-capital unlock for businesses with limited collateral.

Government Tender Preference

Exemption from Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) on most government tenders. Reservation: 25% of central government procurement is reserved for MSMEs (with a sub-quota of 4% for SC/ST and 3% for women-led MSMEs). GeM marketplace access. Real revenue, not just paperwork.

Subsidies & Reimbursements

Patent registration: 50% subsidy up to Rs.1L. Trademark registration: 50% subsidy. ISO 9001 / 14001 / 22000: reimbursement up to Rs.75K. Bar coding, Energy audit, Lean Manufacturing — all subsidy-eligible. Subsidy claims via the MSME Office in your state.

Priority Sector Lending + Lower Interest

Banks must lend a fixed % of their portfolio to priority sectors, including MSMEs. This means your loan applications get faster turnaround, lower interest rates (typically 1–2% below regular SME rates), and softer collateral terms. Mudra loans up to Rs.10L (Tarun) / Rs.20L (Tarun Plus) explicitly target MSMEs.

Lifetime Validity, No Renewal

Udyam Registration has lifetime validity once issued. No annual renewal, no fees, no compliance. Classification (Micro / Small / Medium) auto-updates each year based on your ITR + GSTR data. Set it once, forget the renewal calendar.

Udyam / MSME Registration — FAQs

Got questions? We've got answers — straight, no-BS, legally accurate.

Udyam Registration IS the MSME registration in 2026. Since 1 July 2020, it replaced the older 'Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM)' and 'EM-II' systems. Filed online at udyamregistration.gov.in, governed by the MSMED Act, 2006. The certificate confirms your status as Micro / Small / Medium enterprise. Government fee is genuinely zero. Udyam = MSME, just the new official name.
Per the Budget 2025 amendment effective 1 April 2025: Micro — Investment ≤ ₹2.5 crore AND Turnover ≤ ₹10 crore. Small — Investment ≤ ₹25 crore AND Turnover ≤ ₹100 crore. Medium — Investment ≤ ₹125 crore AND Turnover ≤ ₹500 crore. Both conditions must be met for a category. Trading enterprises were added to the MSME definition in July 2021.
Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act (effective FY 2023-24) says: if a buyer doesn't pay an MSME supplier (with valid Udyam) within the agreed credit period (max 45 days under Section 15 of the MSMED Act), the buyer CANNOT claim that expense as a tax deduction in the year. The tax deduction shifts to the year of actual payment — which means the buyer's income tax goes up the year they delay paying you. This has dramatically rewritten payment discipline in 2024-25 onwards. Only Udyam-registered MSMEs get this protection.
Same day. The Udyam Registration Number (URN) is issued INSTANTLY on form submission — the certificate PDF is downloadable within seconds. There is no manual approval, no review queue, no in-person verification. The validation runs on auto-fetch from PAN + Aadhaar + GSTN databases. The only delay risk is Aadhaar OTP failure (mobile not linked) or PAN being inoperative — both fixable in 1-2 days.
Only if your business is otherwise required to register under GST (turnover > ₹20L services / ₹40L goods, or covered under Section 24 of CGST Act). If you're below the threshold and not in Section 24, GST is NOT required for Udyam. PAN is mandatory regardless. Aadhaar of authorised person is mandatory regardless. The Udyam form auto-validates GSTIN if you have one.
No. Section 8(8) of the MSMED Act read with the 26 June 2020 notification restricts ONE Udyam per enterprise. Multiple manufacturing / service / trading activities under the same PAN should be declared in the SAME Udyam (with up to 5 NIC codes). If you have multiple legal entities (different PANs), each gets its own Udyam.
Lifetime validity. No renewal needed. No annual fee. Once issued, the Udyam Number remains valid as long as the enterprise exists. The classification (Micro / Small / Medium) UPDATES AUTOMATICALLY every year based on your ITR + GSTR data — so if you graduate from Micro to Small, your certificate reflects the new tier without you having to refile.
