A Udyam Registration Certificate is an e-certificate issued online through the Udyam Registration Portal after an eligible enterprise completes registration. Once issued, the certificate can be accessed and downloaded online through the official portal using the “Print Udyam Certificate” facility. It confirms the enterprise’s registration under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) framework and contains its permanent Udyam Registration Number.
The certificate contains important enterprise details, including the enterprise name, MSME classification, major activity, and NIC codes. It also includes a dynamic QR code that provides access to the enterprise’s registration details on the official Udyam portal.
Udyam Registration is free, paperless, and based on self-declaration. There is no requirement to upload documents, certificates, or other proof during registration. The Udyam portal is integrated with government databases, and PAN- and GST-linked investment and turnover details are fetched automatically from the Income Tax and GST systems, where applicable. Aadhaar is required for registration, while PAN and GSTIN requirements apply according to the applicable rules.
You can use the certificate as proof of Udyam registration when accessing applicable MSME schemes, procurement benefits, and other facilities, subject to the relevant requirements. For informal micro enterprises that do not have PAN, the Government introduced the Udyam Assist Platform (UAP) in January 2023 to bring them into the formal system. The UAP certificate is treated at par with the Udyam Registration Certificate for availing Priority Sector Lending benefits.
This article explains the eligibility and MSME classification criteria for obtaining a Udyam Registration Certificate. It also covers the certificate’s key details, benefits, verification, download process, common issues, and validity.

MSME Classification Under Udyam Registration
An enterprise is classified as a Micro, Small, or Medium Enterprise based on its investment in plant and machinery or equipment and annual turnover. The Government revised these limits with effect from April 1, 2025, increasing the investment limits by 2.5 times and the turnover limits by 2 times. The earlier limits that applied from July 1, 2020, are no longer applicable.
| Enterprise | Investment Limit | Annual Turnover Limit |
| Micro | Up to ₹2.5 crore (earlier: ₹1 crore) | Up to ₹10 crore (earlier: ₹5 crore) |
| Small | Up to ₹25 crore (earlier: ₹10 crore) | Up to ₹100 crore (earlier: ₹50 crore) |
| Medium | Up to ₹125 crore (earlier: ₹50 crore) | Up to ₹500 crore (earlier: ₹250 crore) |
The classification is based on both investment and turnover. Export turnover is excluded when calculating turnover for MSME classification.
An enterprise must remain within both the investment and turnover limits for its current category. If it crosses the ceiling for either criterion, it moves to the next higher category.
