NSIC Registration for MSMEs

Q: How long does the entire NSIC registration process take?

The timeline depends on the completeness of documents and inspection schedules. Generally, NSIC-SPRS registration takes about 15–30 days from application to approval. Delays usually occur if inspections are postponed or if paperwork needs correction. Applying early and submitting all documents correctly can help meet the shorter end of this range.

Q: Can a service-based business or startup apply for NSIC registration before one year?

Yes, service-based businesses and startups can apply for NSIC registration. As long as your business is a licensed service enterprise with a valid Udyam/MSME certificate, you’re eligible. Startups under one year old can apply for provisional NSIC registration, allowing access to procurement benefits up to ₹5 lakh. After one year, you can apply for full registration with updated turnover.

Q: Can traders get NSIC registration?

No. NSIC-SPRS is strictly for producers and service providers. Units involved in trading activities (wholesale, retail, commission agents) are not eligible for NSIC registration. The idea is to promote local production and service development, so mere traders cannot be enlisted.

Q: How can I check the status of my NSIC application?

Once you’ve applied, NSIC provides a SPR Reference Number. You can log into the NSIC SPRS online portal and enter this reference number to view your application status. Alternatively, you may contact the regional NSIC branch or helpline with your reference number for updates. (There is a dedicated “Application Status” page on the NSIC SPR portal for this purpose.)

Q: Where can I download the NSIC registration form?

NSIC no longer uses offline forms. All applications are online via the SPRS portal. You don’t need to download a form; simply visit the official NSIC website or the Single Point Registration portal to apply.

Q: Who can apply under NSIC’s Single Point Registration Scheme?

Any Micro or Small enterprise (manufacturing or service) that has a valid Udyam registration and meets the investment criteria can apply. Proprietorships, partnerships, LLPs, companies, cooperatives, etc., in operation are eligible. Just remember that sole trading (buy-sell) outfits are excluded.

Q: Is NSIC under the MSME Ministry?

Yes. NSIC is a PSU under the Ministry of MSME. It specifically acts as an implementing agency for many MSME initiatives, such as SPRS, marketing support, credit rating, etc.

Q: Does the NSIC certificate need renewal?

Yes. NSIC certificates last 2 years. You should renew them online before expiry (usually up to 6 months in advance). Early renewal even gives a fee concession.

Q: How can I download my NSIC registration certificate after approval?

After NSIC approves your application, log in to the SPRS portal with your credentials. There will be an option to download the enlisted certificate (in PDF). NSIC also mails a physical copy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the main difference between MSME Udyam and NSIC registration?

−

Udyam (MSME) registration is a mandatory, free government certification that officially classifies your enterprise as Micro/Small/Medium. It is needed for a wide range of MSME benefits (subsidies, schemes, and general preference). In contrast, NSIC (SPRS) registration is optional and done after obtaining Udyam. It involves a fee (based on turnover) and specifically grants access to NSIC’s procurement and support schemes. In short, Udyam is your MSME ID; NSIC is an add-on that opens up government tenders and financial advantages.
