Udyog Aadhar - Eligibility and Registration

Aadhar Udyog is an identification system that is similar to Aadhaar, but it is specifically for businesses. It consists of a 12-digit unique identification number. An MSME/SME can enjoy special Udyog Aadhar update benefits through subsidies to promote the growth of registered businesses.

With more than 42.5 million units and over 95% of the industrial establishments in the country, the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) sector is the foundation of India’s economic growth. To facilitate the efforts of the sector, the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises launched the Udyog Aadhaar facility in September 2015. There are now over 87 lakh registrations for Aadhar Udyog across the country.

The Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum or Udyam Aadhar, is the registration form on which the MSME verifies its existence and gives required information like the owner’s Aadhar data, bank account details, and so on. 

Udyam Registration was launched in July 2020 to replace Aadhaar Udyog Registration. This initiative aimed to simplify the registration process for MSMEs and make it more user-friendly.

Udhyam Aadhar vs Udyog Aadhaar - What is the Difference?

The significant differences between udyog aadhar and udyam aadhar are based on the following points:

  • For Udyog Aadhar registration, businesses are required to provide a significant amount of information to the government. But on the other hand, Udyam Aadhar Registration is a self-declaration process. 
  • The second difference between Aadhar Udyog and Udyam is that Udyog registration requires both PAN and Aadhar, but for Udyam registration, you just need an Aadhar card. 
  • Under Udyam registration, the applicant can register for only one firm. However, with Udyog Aadhaar, you can register multiple firms with one Aadhaar only.
  • Another difference between Udyog Aadhar and Udyam is that the new Udyam certificates come with a QR code. This code lets people verify their certificates within seconds.
