Procedure for Online Udyog Aadhaar Registration and Benefits

MSMEs (Micro Small and Medium Enterprises) have been an aid to foster country’s growth since years. Other than being an employment generator, the sector also yields to industrialize major rural and backward areas. Government to encourage business in this sector, have recently implemented the Udyog Aadhaar Scheme to which every small or medium sized trader or entrepreneur on complying with the registration can avail benefits of upcoming central or state run schemes.

To ensure better subsidies and exemption related benefits, the Government of India announced the MSME Development Act in 2006 according to which every firm under definition of MSME was to apply for registration. But being obsessed by tiring paperwork & former policies, the Ministry later in 2015 decided to put an easy registration facility with a unique identity number as MSME Udyog Aadhaar, to ensure wide coverage of MSMEs under government algorithm.

What is Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM)?

For easy registration of running MSME Units , Udyog Adhaar ( Adhaar Identity of Business units) was introduced .

For MSMEs, A UAM is a one page registration form that certifies their existence, bank details, owner, promoter details and other required information. After submission of UAM on official portal of Udyog Adhaar, the department issues an acknowledgment number to reported mail of applicant along with a Unique Udyog Aadhaar Number.

Note: As UAM is a self declaring document, it does not require any supporting document to be uploaded while applying for UA (Udyog Adhaar). But it has been said that for confirmation of details submitted, by applicant any official from state or central authority can ask to provide related documents whenever required.
