Udyam registration (MSME)
Your micro, small or medium enterprise (MSME) gets a Udyam Registration Certificate, online and free.
About this guidePending verification
Published on 12-11-2026. Not every fact has been checked against its official source yet: confirm at the office.
For whom: Anyone in Andhra Pradesh running or starting a manufacturing or service business who needs MSME status for bank loans or government schemes. Retail and wholesale traders can also register (for priority sector lending).
Answer the questions below first. Then the documents and steps open.
1Your situation
We show only what your answers need.
- Do you already have one of these registrations?
- Is your enterprise's investment in plant, machinery or equipment up to ₹125 crore, and its yearly turnover up to ₹500 crore? (Exports are not counted in turnover.)
- Does the enterprise have a PAN? (For a sole proprietorship not registered under any other law, the owner's own PAN is enough.)
- Does your business have GST registration, or does the GST law require it to have one?
Your answers stay on this phone.
Each step below says who it is for. Confirm yours at the office, then change your answer here.
This route does not apply to your situation
From 1 April 2025, only enterprises with investment in plant, machinery or equipment up to ₹125 crore and yearly turnover up to ₹500 crore are micro, small or medium enterprises (MSMEs). If either is higher, the enterprise is not an MSME and cannot register on Udyam. Andhra Pradesh's MSME Policy 4.0 uses the same new investment limits for its incentives to manufacturing enterprises (not service or trade).
→ Udyam is only for MSMEs, so there is nothing to register here. For questions about your enterprise's classification, ask your District Industries Centre (DIC).

Another route for you
Udyam registration needs a PAN, and a GST number (GSTIN) when the GST law requires one. The Udyam Assist route is only for enterprises exempt from GST. Get a PAN first, then register on the Udyam portal.

· Do them in order. Tick each one when it is done.
- Do this nowIf: NoneIf: Yes, there is a PAN
Open udyamregistration.gov.in and choose "New Registration" (For New Entrepreneurs who are not Registered yet).
This is the only official site the Ministry of MSME names; beware of fake sites.
Open the official pageNot confirmed
On 1 and 11 November 2026 our check showed the portal's security certificate as revoked, so we did not open the portal on those days; the names of its buttons here are from copies of its pages saved on 30 October 2026. If your browser shows a security warning, do not enter your Aadhaar number; try later, or ask your District Industries Centre for help.
Sources: 1, 10, 7, 14
- Do this nowIf: Udyog Aadhaar (UAM) or EM-IIIf: Yes, there is a PAN
Udyog Aadhaar (UAM) and EM-II registrations are no longer valid (only until 30 June 2022); you must register again on the Udyam portal.
On the portal choose "UAM Migration to Udyam", or "Assisted UAM Migration" if your UAM was filed through assisted filing. Enter the UAM number, choose to get the OTP on the mobile or email given in the UAM, and enter it.
Open the official pageNot confirmed
We did not see the screens after the UAM OTP; the Aadhaar and PAN steps below may come a little differently. The portal does not say clearly whether EM-II holders should use "New Registration"; if unsure, ask at your District Industries Centre. On 1 and 11 November 2026 our check showed the portal's security certificate as revoked, so we did not open the portal on those days; the names of its buttons here are from copies of its pages saved on 30 October 2026.

- Do this nowIf: None / Udyog Aadhaar (UAM) or EM-IIIf: Yes, there is a PAN
Enter the Aadhaar number and the name exactly as in Aadhaar.
Tick the consent, press "Validate & Generate OTP" and enter the OTP you get. For a sole proprietorship the Aadhaar number is the owner's; for a partnership, the managing partner's; for an HUF, the karta's. For a company, LLP, cooperative society, society or trust, the organisation or its authorised signatory gives the enterprise's PAN and GSTIN along with the Aadhaar number.
Open the official pageNot confirmed
The copy of the form we saved does not say where the OTP is sent.

- Do this nowIf: None / Udyog Aadhaar (UAM) or EM-IIIf: Yes, there is a PAN
Verify the PAN.
If the business is registered for GST, give the GSTIN too. The investment and turnover figures are linked to income tax returns and GST. All GSTINs under one PAN are treated as one enterprise. A new enterprise that has not yet filed an income tax return declares its investment itself.

- Do this nowIf: None / Udyog Aadhaar (UAM) or EM-IIIf: Yes, there is a PAN
Fill in the enterprise's details: name, addresses, bank details and its activities (manufacturing, services).
One enterprise has only one registration; any number of activities can be added to it. No documents or certificates are uploaded: it is all self-declaration. Knowingly giving false details, or hiding them, can bring a penalty under section 27 of the MSMED Act.

- Do this nowIf: None / Udyog Aadhaar (UAM) or EM-IIIf: Yes, there is a PAN
Submit the application.
When the registration is complete, the enterprise gets a permanent Udyam Registration Number (URN) and an e-certificate (Udyam Registration Certificate), online. Keep the certificate; banks go by the category (micro, small or medium) recorded in it.

- Do this nowIf: None / Udyog Aadhaar (UAM) or EM-IIIf: Yes, there is a PAN
You can print the certificate at any time with "Print Udyam Certificate" on the portal.
It is also in DigiLocker; the Ministry has asked that the DigiLocker copy be accepted like the paper certificate.

- Do this nowIf: A Udyam registration
A registered enterprise must update its details on the portal (log in with "Udyami Login" or "Update/Cancel Udyam Registration"), including the previous financial year's income tax return and GST return details.
If you do not update within the period the portal sets, the registration can be suspended. You are told if your category changes. After moving up a category, you keep the non-tax benefits of the old one for three years.
Open the official pageNot confirmed
The notification says the portal sets the period for updating; the copies of the portal's pages saved on 30 October 2026 do not state that period, and on 1 and 11 November 2026 we did not open the portal (our check showed its security certificate as revoked). If your browser shows a security warning, do not enter your Aadhaar number; try later, or ask your District Industries Centre for help.

- Do this nowIf: No, it is exempt from GST because of its turnover
Ask your bank, an NBFC or another lender regulated by RBI to register you on the Udyam Assist Platform (UAP).
The platform is for informal micro enterprises that are exempt from filing GST returns; SIDBI runs it, and those lenders do the registration for you. You get a "Udyam Assist Certificate", which banks treat like a Udyam certificate for priority sector loans, counting you as a micro enterprise. The other way is to get a PAN and register yourself on the Udyam portal.
Not confirmed
The official papers we read do not say which documents this route needs, whether there is a charge, how long it takes, or which banks do it; the udyamassist.gov.in page gave us nothing we could read. Ask at the bank.

If you cannot register yourself (for example, you have no Aadhaar yet), go to your District Industries Centre (DIC) or to an MSME-DFO, which runs an MSME Champions control room: these are single windows that help with registration. Without Aadhaar, take your Aadhaar enrolment slip or a copy of the enrolment request, a bank photo passbook, voter ID, passport or driving licence; they also help you get an Aadhaar number. Andhra Pradesh has a District Industries Centre in each of its 28 districts, each headed by a District Industries Officer. Their addresses and phone numbers are on the Industries Department's website (for example Visakhapatnam: Industrial Estate; NTR district: B2, Industrial Estate, Vijayawada; Guntur: Nagarampalem, opposite the Collectorate).
