What is MSME Registration (Udyam)?
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) form the backbone of the Indian economy, contributing approximately 30% to the national GDP and employing over 110 million people. The Government of India introduced the Udyam Registration portal in July 2020 under the MSMED Act, 2006. Udyam registration is completely free of cost with no government fees whatsoever, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes. As of 2025, over 1.5 crore MSMEs have successfully registered, unlocking benefits including collateral-free loans, tax exemptions, priority in government procurement, and protection against delayed payments.
Important:
Udyam Registration is completely free on the official portal at udyamregistration.gov.in. Beware of intermediaries demanding payment.
