Lets have a look how to get registered your business as MSME
Government has taken several steps to boost this sector, but 70% of them could not avail the benefits and that’s because
they are not registered as MSME
6. Registration of MSMEs
MSME registration is not statutory, but it is beneficial as it provides a range of benefits and other
support to the enterprises that are registered.
After registrations, any enterprise becomes qualified to reap the benefits offered under MSMES Act
So, if you want to get your business registered as MSME, you need to file your business with
Udhyor Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM) once your business has started operations, so that
using the UAM number you can access other services.
Earlier it was a two way process:
• EM – I = Registration before setup of unit
• EM – II = Registration after commencement of operations
But after amendments, the EM-I is abolished and EM-II has been replaced by UAM

• Lower rates of interest
• Excise exemption scheme
• Exempt under Direct tax Laws and statutory support
• Reservations
Benefits from State Government

Now, once you are registered, you can reap the benefits offered by different schemes by MSME ministries and other

MSMEs are still not able to push themselves forward to showcase their potential. There are still obstacles in their path...
12. Concerns to the sector
Whatever yardstick one uses, the importance of MSMEs cannot be overlooked. They are
showing the results much below their potential, mainly because they are unable to showcase
their strength.

• Lack of access to new technology
• Poor Infrastructure
• Immense Competition
• Lack of Management Skill
