Classification from 1 April 2025
An enterprise is micro, small or medium on two tests together: investment in plant and machinery or equipment, and annual turnover. The Ministry revised both figures with effect from 1 April 2025.
| Category | Investment not more than | Turnover not more than |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | ₹2.5 crore | ₹10 crore |
| Small | ₹25 crore | ₹100 crore |
| Medium | ₹125 crore | ₹500 crore |
If you cross either ceiling, you move up. Retail and wholesale trade can register for the limited purpose of priority-sector lending. Informal micro enterprises that do not have PAN or GSTIN follow a different route, the Udyam Assist Platform, usually through a bank. That is not the same form as a standard Udyam registration.
What the certificate is actually used for
- Tenders that set aside eligibility or benefits for micro and small enterprises.
- Bank classification for priority-sector lending, which follows the category printed on the Udyam certificate.
- A lower government fee in some other filings, including certain trademark applications for registered small enterprises.
- A clean answer when a buyer, marketplace or department asks for MSME proof.
You need Aadhaar of the proprietor, the managing partner or the authorised signatory, plus PAN. Where GST registration applies to you, the GSTIN is required as well. The mobile linked to Aadhaar receives the OTP, so we cannot complete this without you.
Update it when the business changes
A new unit, a new activity or a shift from micro to small should be updated. The portal can also reclassify you from GST and income-tax data. We would rather update a live certificate than let a tender reject an old category.
Questions people ask before they pay
Is Udyam registration free?
Yes. The Ministry of MSME portal does not charge a government fee. Anyone who asks you to pay a “government charge” for the certificate itself is describing their professional fee, or something else. We separate those two numbers.
Do I upload my balance sheet?
No. For a standard Udyam registration the investment and turnover are pulled from income-tax and GST data linked to your PAN and, where GST applies, your GSTIN. You still need to describe the activity correctly.
Can I have two Udyam numbers?
No. An enterprise files one Udyam registration. Several activities, including both manufacturing and services, can sit on that single registration.
Does Udyam guarantee a loan or a subsidy?
No. It is the identity banks and many tender portals use to treat you as an MSME. Schemes have their own conditions. We will not promise a grant.
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.
