Udyam registration is free on the official portal
Before you pay anyone, know this. The government's portal states, "Registration Process is totally free. No Costs or Fees are to be paid to anyone." Many people can complete it themselves.
The only official site

The portal says: "This is the only Government Portal for MSME (Udyam) Registration" and warns visitors to "Beware of Fake Sites."
How to spot a lookalike
- The address does not end in .gov.in
- It asks for a "government fee" or "registration charge"
- It appears at the top of search results as an advertisement
- It uses "official", "Udyam" or an emblem in its branding, with a small note that it is private
Current limits
As published on the Udyam portal, for the definition applying from 1 April 2025. Both limits must be met.
| Type | Investment up to | Turnover up to |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | ₹2.5 crore | ₹10 crore |
| Small | ₹25 crore | ₹100 crore |
| Medium | ₹125 crore | ₹500 crore |
When paying for help can make sense
Assistance is optional, and any fee is for a private person's time. It is not a government charge. It may be worth considering if:
- You have an old registration, or errors to correct
- You are unsure how your investment and turnover should be worked out
- You are unsure which activity code fits your business
- You have a group of related businesses
If you do pay someone
- Ask them to confirm in writing that the fee is theirs and not the government's
- Stay with them while they use your details, or do it yourself with their guidance
- Use your own mobile number and email
- Check the result on the official portal
- Be wary of paid "renewal" offers. The portal does not ask for fees
What registration does and does not do
Udyam registration records your business as an MSME and is often asked for when seeking MSME-related schemes or support. It does not by itself secure a loan, subsidy or tender, and it is a different thing from GST registration or forming a company.
Check the benefit you are interested in against the relevant scheme's own rules. We have not reviewed individual schemes here.
