MSME (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) registration, now known as Udyam Registration, is one of the most beneficial registrations a business in Coimbatore can obtain. It opens doors to government schemes, subsidies, and preferential treatment that can significantly boost your business growth.
What is MSME/Udyam Registration?
Udyam Registration is a government registration for micro, small, and medium enterprises. It replaced the earlier Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM) process and is now entirely online and free of cost.
Classification of MSMEs
Manufacturing & Services (Revised Criteria)
Micro: Investment up to Rs. 1 crore, Turnover up to Rs. 5 crores
Small: Investment up to Rs. 10 crores, Turnover up to Rs. 50 crores
Medium: Investment up to Rs. 50 crores, Turnover up to Rs. 250 crores
Key Benefits of MSME Registration
1. Priority Sector Lending
Banks are mandated to allocate a certain percentage of their lending to MSMEs, making it easier for registered businesses to get loans at lower interest rates.
2. Government Subsidies and Schemes
Access to various government schemes including:
Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme (CGTMSE)
Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS)
