MSME / UDYAM REGISTRATION

MSME / Udyam Registration

MSME (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) Registration, officially known as Udyam Registration, is a government recognition system introduced by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Government of India. It is governed under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006, and provides formal identification to eligible businesses operating in manufacturing or service sectors in India.

MSME registration is entirely online and is based on self-declaration linked with Aadhaar and PAN, enabling automatic classification of enterprises based on investment and turnover criteria.

At Syntrix Consulting, we assist businesses in completing the Udyam registration process with accurate documentation and procedural compliance in line with applicable government guidelines.
