            Inscription MSME

            Des lignes directrices:

            Les MPME peuvent être enregistrées en remplissant le mémorandum Udyog Aadhaar . Il s'agit d'un numéro Aadhaar à 12 chiffres attribué à MSME par DIC

            L'enregistrement Udyog Aadhaar peut être effectué en ligne par les individus eux-mêmes au cas où ils auraient un numéro Aadhaar. Cependant, dans tous les cas exceptionnels, y compris ceux de ne pas avoir de numéro Aadhaar, peuvent toujours déposer le mémorandum Udyog Aadhaar, en mode hors ligne (c'est-à-dire sur papier), auprès du directeur général (GM) du District Industries Center (DIC) concerné. Les articles non couverts par la loi MSMED 2006 pour l'enregistrement du mémorandum Udyog Aadhaar sont répertoriés dans le lien .

            Une unité peut demander la RPC pour tout article qui ne nécessite pas de licence industrielle, c'est-à-dire les articles énumérés dans l'annexe III et les articles non énumérés dans l'annexe I ou l'annexe II de la notification d'exemption de licence. Les unités employant moins de 50/100 travailleurs avec / sans électricité peuvent demander l'enregistrement même pour les articles inclus dans l'annexe II. Une fois que l'unité commence la production, elle doit demander un enregistrement permanent sur le formulaire prescrit.

            MSME registration

            Guidelines:

            MSME can be registered by filling Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum. It is a 12 digit Aadhaar number allotted to MSME by DIC

            The Udyog Aadhaar Registration can be done online by individuals themselves in case they have an Aadhaar number. However, in all exceptional cases, including those of not having Aadhaar number, can still file Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum, in offline mode(i.e. on paper form), with the General Manager (GM) of the concerned District Industries Centre (DIC). Articles not covered under the MSMED Act 2006 for registration of Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum are listed in the link.

            A unit can apply for PRC for any item that does not require industrial license which means items listed in Schedule-III and items not listed in Schedule-I or Schedule-II of the licencing Exemption Notification. Units employing less than 50/100 workers with/without power can apply for registration even for those items included in Schedule-II. Once the unit commences production, it has to apply for permanent registration on the prescribed form.
