MSME registration India
What is MSME Registration?
MSME stands for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, and MSME registration is now known as Udyam Registration. It helps businesses get recognized by the government and avail various benefits like subsidized loans, tax rebates, and priority in tenders.
You can apply under:
Micro Enterprise – Investment ≤ ₹1 Cr & Turnover ≤ ₹5 Cr
Small Enterprise – Investment ≤ ₹10 Cr & Turnover ≤ ₹50 Cr
Medium Enterprise – Investment ≤ ₹50 Cr & Turnover ≤ ₹250 Cr
The best part? It’s completely online, free of cost from the government, and applicable to both manufacturing and service-based businesses.
What is GST Registration?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a single, unified indirect tax applicable throughout India. GST Registration is mandatory for:
Businesses with turnover above ₹40 lakhs (₹20 lakhs for services)
Anyone doing interstate supply of goods/services
E-commerce sellers, dropshippers, or exporters
Those who want to claim input tax credit
Once registered, you’ll receive a unique 15-digit GSTIN and can legally charge GST on your invoices.
