Talking on MSME registration becomes very important because our country generates more jobs MSME and unorganized sector from organized companies in the Indian sector. It is meant to say that a large population gets employment from the MSME sector of the country.
Now, as the number of MSME units is more than that of big companies in the country, it becomes very important to talk about MSME registration. While earlier entrepreneurs had to visit various government offices for this type of registration, later the central government made the process of small scale industry registration very simple online and that registration was named as Udyog Aadhaar Registration.
But currently, the Government of India has set up a separate enterprise portal to execute this task, so now the entrepreneur has to visit this official portal for MSME registration. As the Central Government and the State Government-run many schemes from time to time to encourage the MSME sector, it is absolutely necessary to register the units as MSMEs that wish to take advantage of them.
But the question arises in the minds of entrepreneurs doing business whether their company also comes under the MSME sector or not? Because it becomes very important for MSME registration that the enterprise of the entrepreneur should come under MSME on the basis of turnover. Whereas the definition of MSME was earlier classified into the service sector and manufacturing sector, currently only one definition of MSME has been given based on the classification which is as follows.
Definition of MSME
Before knowing the definition of MSME, it is very important to know the full form of MSME, the full form of MSME is Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise, which can be interpreted in Hindi from Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. The name of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises can be given to any enterprise based on the following criteria.
Micro Enterprise:
An enterprise which does not invest more than one crore rupees in the plant, machinery or equipment and the turnover of this enterprise does not exceed five crore rupees.
Small Enterprise:
An enterprise which does not invest more than ten crores rupees in the plant, machinery or equipment and the turnover of this enterprise does not exceed fifty crores rupees.
Medium Enterprise:
An enterprise which does not invest more than fifty crores rupees in the plant, machinery or equipment and the turnover of this enterprise does not exceed two hundred crores rupees.
