What Udyam registration does
Udyam is the Government of India's official registration system for micro, small and medium enterprises. The process is free, paperless and based on self-declaration, with PAN and GST-linked information used as applicable. The official portal states that registration does not require renewal.
Current MSME classification
From 1 April 2025, an enterprise is classified using both investment in plant and machinery or equipment and annual turnover. It must remain within both limits for the relevant class.
| Classification | Investment limit | Turnover limit |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | Up to INR 2.5 crore | Up to INR 10 crore |
| Small | Up to INR 25 crore | Up to INR 100 crore |
| Medium | Up to INR 125 crore | Up to INR 500 crore |
All activities of an enterprise are included under one Udyam registration. Classification can change as official investment and turnover data changes, so business records should remain current.
