MSME stands for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, which form the backbone of the Indian economy. Udyam Registration is the official government registration for MSMEs, introduced by the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises under the MSMED Act, 2006. On successful registration, the enterprise receives a permanent Udyam Registration Number and an e-certificate. This recognition enables businesses to avail a wide range of government benefits, subsidies, schemes and priority lending. Udyam Registration is a fully online, paperless process based on self-declaration and is linked with PAN and GST. At Consult Zone India, we provide complete end-to-end assistance for MSME (Udyam) registration for manufacturers, service providers and traders.
