MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) of India are the backbone of the nation's economy. They not only employ crores of individuals but also generate new business avenues. But for decades, the greatest problem for MSMEs was compliance, i.e., complying with the rules and legal requirements.

Before, MSME owners used to go to various government offices, sign a lot of papers, and spend hours even for minor work. But all that is now a thing of the past to a large extent.

The year 2025 has been a blessing for MSMEs in the form of the Udyam Registration Portal. The portal is so smooth and convenient that compliance is no big deal. Let's learn how this portal simplifies MSME compliance.

The registration of MSMEs through the Udyam portal is quite simple.

• Registration begins with merely an Aadhaar number and a mobile OTP.

• There is no requirement for the submission of complicated documents.

• The whole process is 100% online and takes a few minutes.

That is, MSME owners can now enroll themselves without the intervention of any agent or middleman.

2. All compliances on one platform

Before, MSME owners used to go to various websites of GST, income tax, labor law, and other departments. But now the Udyam portal has been integrated with various government departments.

The benefit of this is that—

4. Reminder of compliance and alerts

The greatest issue for MSME owners was non-compliance with time. A fine was levied sometimes due to ignorance and sometimes due to error.

But these days, the Udyam portal gives SMS and email reminders to MSMEs periodically.

• Which type is to be filled out on which occasion?

• What is the deadline for compliance?

• If any document is not filled properly, then its data.

• It makes it easy for MSMEs to comply in time and not pay fines.

Once compliance is done, MSMEs receive an instant digital certificate and receipt.

These certificates can be used immediately at banks, government schemes, and tenders.
