Udyog Aadhaar was the old MSME registration scheme (discontinued in 2020). Udyam replaced it with a fully integrated, paperless process linked to PAN and GSTIN. Existing Udyog Aadhaar holders should migrate to Udyam.

You need a PAN card, Aadhaar card of the proprietor, managing partner, or authorised director, GSTIN (if applicable), and bank account details. No other documents are required — the portal auto-pulls investment and turnover details from linked PAN and GST records.

Udyam registration is typically instant — the certificate generates within minutes to 1 working day of submitting the form correctly on udyamregistration.gov.in.

No — Udyam registration is completely free on the official government portal (udyamregistration.gov.in). No official fee exists; be cautious of third-party sites charging for registration itself.
