The government launched the Udyog Aadhar in September 2015, which will offer each micro, small, and medium-sized business a unique identification. The Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises issues this identifying number. The plan has been rebranded by Udyam, and all MSMEs, new and old, must re-register on the Udyam registration. This essay will teach you everything you need to know about the Udyog Aadhaar, sometimes referred to as the Business Aadhaar or Udyam.
What is the difference between Udyog Aadhar and Udyam?
All MSMEs were given a 12-digit unique identification number known as Udyog Aadhar by the government. This number would be assigned to businesses automatically when they registered. Since Udyog Aadhar was replaced by Udyam, any MSME must obtain a 19-digit Udyam registration number. You can apply for an Udyam registration number online at the official Udyam portal.
