In this post, we will know what is MSME, its benefits, the documents required, and MSME registration as well as the Udyam registration procedure.

What is MSME?

MSME stands for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises. In a developing country like India, MSME  industries are the backbone of the economy.

The MSME sector contributes to 45% of India’s Total Industrial Employment, 50% of India’s Total Exports and 95% of all industrial units of the country and more than 6000 types of products are manufactured in these industries (As per msme.gov.in). When these industries grow, the economy of the country grows as a whole and flourishes. These industries are also known as small-scale industries or SSI’s.

Criteria for MSME Registration

The MSME classification is based on the criteria of investment in plant and machinery and turnover.

Now, under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan (ABA), the government revised the MSME classification* by inserting composite criteria of both investment and annual turnover.

Also, the distinction between the manufacturing and the services sectors under the MSME definition has been removed. This removal will create parity between the sectors. The following is the revised MSME classification*, where the investment and annual turnover, both are to be considered for deciding an MSME.
