Your Udyog Aadhar will expire on 31st March 2022. Why you should migrate your Udyog Aadhar to Udyam Registration?

  We are all aware that back in June 2020, the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises had issued an official Gazette Amendment introducing the new system of  Udyam Registration . Further it had also asked existing Udyog Aadhaar registrants to migrate to the new system within a stipulated time. The time to update has been extended ever since giving more and more time to existing Udyog Aadhar holders to migrate to the new system. As per the recent circular issued by the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises, this time extension is going to end on  31 st  March 2022 , after which the current existing Udyog Aadhar registered enterprises will no longer be valid and will have to obtain a fresh  Udyam Registration  or migrate their existing  Udyog Aadhaar  registration to the new system. This is being done to make sure every enterprise has updated itself to the new system and thereby has access to all the new and updated benefits the Ministry wishes to provide to the Mi

  Retailers and Wholesalers have been facing the problem of not being able to register under the MSME Scheme as the same has not been permitted since the time MSME Registration was implemented. When MSME Registration was converted into Udyog Aadhar even then the registration of Retailers & Wholesalers was not permitted by the Ministry of MSME. Even though the NIC code list consisted of activities of Retailers & Wholesalers under the broad category of 45, 46 & 47 still their registration was not permitted and the same was mentioned in the Circular issued on 27th June 2017. Further, when Udyam Registration was implemented even then the Ministry of MSME did not allow Retailers and Wholesalers to obtain registration under the MSME scheme and avail benefits granted under it.

Is GST registration required to get Udyog Aadhar or Udyam Registration? Can I apply for GST registration using Udyam Registration?

When it comes to starting and operating a Micro, Small or Medium Enterprise the government of India through its Ministry of MSME has laid down certain processes to facilitate ease of doing business in India. A major registration process being implemented by all MSMEs in India today is the Udyam Registration or Udyog Aadhar (as it was called previously). We all know that the Ministry of MSME through its notification no.

The Ministry of MSME through  The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development Act, 2006  has laid down a framework and provision to assist MSMEs with their problem of delayed payments.

As the title reads, all MSMEs who have successfully obtained their registration under   Udyam Registration   or   Udyog Aadhar Registration   are requested to register under the   Trade Receivables Discounting System   (TReDS) The first question that comes to anyone's mind is what exactly is TReDS? Under this scheme, the MSMEs who have receivables from Corporate buyers, Government departments, Public sector undertakings and other buyers are eligible to obtain finance in lieu of the amount receivable from such buyers. In simple words, this scheme facilitates financing to MSMEs on the basis of their debtors. Due to uncertain market conditions, many times invoices are pending to be paid and due to this delay, many MSMEs lose out on opportunities which might be standing at their doorstep only because of the incapacity to finance their requirements. The government wants to resolve this conflict the MSMEs face and help them grow steadily and in a sustained manner. Another way of looking
