What Are Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME)?

In a developing country like India, MSME  industries are the backbone of the economy. It is rightly termed as “the engine of growth” for India. The MSME sector contributes to 45% of India’s total industrial employment, 50% of India’s total exports and 95% of all industrial units of the country and more than 6000 types of products are manufactured in these industries (As per Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises). When these industries grow, the economy of the country grows as a whole and flourishes. These industries are also known as small-scale industries(SSI’s).

In this blog, we will discuss the process on how to get your MSME registration number/SSI registration in India.

You Might Wonder If MSME Registration Is Mandatory Or Not!

The MSME registration is not yet mandatory by the Government but registering under it will help you reap several benefits from the government including credit at a low-interest rate, incentives on products for exports, excise exemption, statutory aid such as reservations and the interest on the payments delayed due to unavoidable circumstances.  A government scheme called Udyog Aadhar registration has been helping MSMEs since 2015.

If your company is in the manufacturing line or service line, registrations for both can be obtained through the MSME act.

The MSME became operational on October 02, 2006. It was established to promote, facilitate, and develop the competitiveness of the micro, small, and medium enterprises.

The existing MSME classification was based on the criteria of investment in plant and machinery or equipment. If you want to enjoy the MSME benefits, you will have to limit your investment to a lower limit, as below :

These lower limits are limiting the urge to grow as a company is unable to scale their businesses further.

There has been a long-pending demand for the revision of MSME classification so that you can further expand your operations while you continue to avail the MSME benefits.

Under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan (ABA), the government revised the MSME classification by inserting composite criteria of both investment and annual turnover. Click Here to read more about ABA

The distinction between the manufacturing and services sectors under the MSME definition has been removed. This removal will create parity between the sectors. The following is the revised MSME classification, where the investment and annual turnover, both are to be considered for deciding an MSME.
