From 1 April 2025, the Ministry of MSME classifies enterprises on two tests together: investment in plant and machinery or equipment, and annual turnover. Both have to sit inside the ceiling.
| Category | Investment ceiling | Turnover ceiling |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | ₹2.5 crore | ₹10 crore |
| Small | ₹25 crore | ₹100 crore |
| Medium | ₹125 crore | ₹500 crore |
Before that date the micro ceilings were ₹1 crore of investment and ₹5 crore of turnover. If a tender document, a bank note or a consultant’s graphic still quotes those older numbers, it has not been updated. The gazette notification behind the new figures is S.O. 1364(E) dated 21 March 2025.
What you do not upload
A standard Udyam registration is filed on the government portal, it is free there, and it is based on self-declaration plus data the portal pulls from income tax and GST using your PAN and, where GST applies, your GSTIN. You do not upload a balance sheet to “prove” the category. You do have to describe the activity honestly. Only one Udyam registration is allowed per enterprise, though several activities can live on it.
What the certificate does not do
It does not approve a loan and it does not release a subsidy. Banks use the category on the certificate when they classify priority-sector lending. Many government tenders use it as an eligibility document. Schemes have extra conditions. If someone offers Udyam plus a guaranteed grant, treat the second half of that sentence as the product they are actually selling.
Informal micro enterprises that cannot register because they do not have PAN or GSTIN are a different case. They may be brought onto the Udyam Assist Platform through a bank. Do not force that situation into the ordinary Udyam form.
If your certificate was issued under the old ceilings, check whether the portal has reclassified you. Investment and turnover move, and the category should move with them. Vissgro’s Udyam service is the preparation and the filing, not a substitute for the free government portal.
Checked 10 November 2026. Thresholds, fees and form numbers change. Vissgro confirms the live rule on the official portal before anything is filed. A certificate is issued by that authority, or by Dun & Bradstreet in the case of a D-U-N-S Number — not by Vissgro.
