Udyog Aadhaar registration is the new system that replaced the earlier system of SSI registration and EM-I/II. The gazette notification dated 18.09.2015 brought an end to the legacy of registration of SSI and Entrepreneur Memorandum (EM-I/II) as all other online/ offline systems of registration of MSMEs created and maintained by Central/State/UT Governments cease to register new MSMEs forthwith.
The process of filing Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM) is a simple one-page format compared to the cumbersome process of earlier registration system. The individuals, who have Aadhaar number (having the advantage of already provided the demographic as well as biometric details to the state), can themselves file the Udyog Aadhaar Registration at UAM portal.The following details are required.
1. Name of the owner,
2.Social category (Gen/SC/ST/OBC),
3. Name of the enterprise,
4.Type of organization ( Proprietor/Partnership/ HUF, Co-op, Public Ltd./Private Ltd, SHG, LLP etc.),
5.Postal Adress,
6.Date of commencement of business,
7.Previous registration detail such as detail of MSME registration (if applicable),
8. Bank details (Account No. and IFSC No.)
9. Major Activity (Manufacturing/ service),
10. NIC code (available with National Industrial classification (NIC) hand- book) of the activity,
11.Persons employed (Number of persons employed. However, the number of employees does not have the bearing on the classification of enterprises under MSME Act 2006),
12.Investment in plant and machinery equipment (No need to indicate the cost of land and buildings) in the business,
13. DIC details (details of nearest District Industries Centre to the business if required).
All the above information sought is on self-certification basis and no supporting documents are required at the time of online filing of UAM. However, in terms of gazette notification dated 18-09-15, in all exceptional cases, including those of not having Aadhaar number, can still file Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum, in offline mode(i.e. on the paper form), with the General Manager(GM) of the concerned District Industries Centre(DIC). It means to do registration there are two options available to an applicant.
There are no process fees for registration of UAM. Another advantage of UAM is that the applicant does not require following up the registration process after online filing as the UAN (12 digit Udyog Aadhaar No.), is instantly generated. Although, UAN is generated instantly on the basis of self-certification, the enterprises filing the UAM online are liable to provide documentary proof of information provided in the UAM, wherever necessary, to the Central Government, State Government or such person as may be authorized.
At present, the existing holders of Small Scale Industry registration, need not file Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum, but if they so desire, they may also file the Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum. There is no restriction on filing more than one Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum using the same Aadhaar Number.
Benefits of Udyog Aadhaar
The idea of Udyog Aadhaar and simplified registration process have ensured wider coverage of MSMEs to avail the benefits under various Schemes of Central/ State governments namely subsidies, low rate of interest loans, personal guarantee free and collateral free loans (under CGTMSE guarantee scheme), financial support to participate in foreign expo etc.
Dear Sir,
I want to ask that i have my GST Registration but Bank Want a second reg. of my business for current Account.I am a trader of retail items. So Please tell me which second reg. are helpful for me.
I am not familiar with GST registration process. As per my information, you have to get GST registration and then open new current account. I have not understood why second account to be opened. Consult a Charted accountant or tax consultant in this matter.
its a Really very nice article Surendra Ji@ but still there are lot of the banks which are not accept the Udyog aadhar Registration and they are asking for the DIC Registration from the state department. so any solution in this case. i want to use MSME as 2nd legal entity proof for current bank account.
All other online/ offline systems of registration of MSMEs created and maintained by Central/State/UT Governments have been ceased to register new MSMEs. Henceforth, there should be only one system i.e. UAM for the registration of new MSME units.States/UTs were asked to provide all benefits/concessions to MSMEs based on UAM only.
It was suggested by the ministry that such awareness be spread through the District Industries Centers (DICs).

You may check up from DIC of your area.
Mr.Nitin, I am given to understand that people have filled NIC 4 digits got it right in Udyog Aadhar (instead of 2 digits or 5 digits). For example, 4721 for retail sale of cereals,pulses, tea,coffee etc. 4722 retail sale of breverage.4723 tobacco products etc. Please try once again.
Activities from 44 to 49 are removed.
hence we cannot use retailer codes.
All economic activities will have NIC code. Find the appropriate code for your business (retail trade) from division 47 (471 to 479)
I want to Open a Current Account?

Sir I want to start training institute which registrations are needed
It must be noted that if your intention is to conduct a small scale coaching centre, there are no licenses that’re required to be obtained.
But, if your coaching centre intends to be the size of an institution, you would need to get a trade license and pay tax for the revenue generated through the centre.There are many institutes registered as pvt. ltd company and society etc and providing certificates
Hi sir,
Is udyog aadhar registration certificate means ‘Certificate of registration’ of a proprietary firm
Udyog Aadhar is subsitute for SSI/MEME registeration, it is not a substitute for prpritorship, partnership, limited company. They have to be registered seperately wherever required.
Thanks for reply, what is the process of registering a
Propertership firm?
In the case of proprietorship firm, there is no registration required. As there is no procedure to make application for availability of name (as in the case of companies) applicable, you simply have to open a bank account with the name & style you want to work. The Certificate/license issued by the Municipal authorities under Shop & Establishment Act, Sales and income tax returns. GST registration etc are the other staturory certificates which can be used for KYC purpose. There is a provision under companies act to register one man company for propritery concerns.
Thanks

Dear Sir, I’m doing opticals business. I have udyog aadhar license. Now gst is mandatory for my business. My business monthly turn over just 60000 rupees only?
The businesses in the Northeastern and hill states with annual turnover below Rs.10 lakh would be out of the GST net, while the threshold for the exemption in the rest of India would be an annual turnover of Rs.20 lakh. A business whose aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds Rs 20 lakhs has to mandatorily register under Goods and Services Tax.However, the traders supplying goods to other states will need to register under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) even if their turnover is below Rs 20 lakh.
What is the monthly turn over limit for udyog aadhar license?
They don’t ask for monthly turn over.

We are a start up company .. almost 3 years old. We are registered with NSIC Ltd as Micro unit.
We have also recieved our UAM. We participate in many tenders floated by Govt , where they ask for MSME certificate for exemption of EMD.
