The Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector has been crucial to India’s development over the past five decades. Other than providing large employment opportunities at lower capital cost, MSMEs also aid in industrialisation of rural and backward areas. This helps in reducing regional imbalances, assuring a more effective equitable distribution of national income and wealth.

State governments are responsible for promotion and development of MSMEs, though the Government of India does announce various initiatives, too. The ministry, therefore, in 2015, decided to put in place the Udyog Aadhaar, which ensures easy registration and a wider coverage of MSMEs to avail of the benefits under various central and state-run schemes.

For this reason, an Udyog Aadhaar (UA) has been introduced for running units. Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM) can be created online at http://udyogaadhaar.gov.in.

Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM)

An UAM is a one-page registration form in which the MSME self certifies its existence, bank account details, owner/promoter’s Aadhar details and other requisite information. This is free of cost.
