How do I get MSME (Udyam) registration, and how do I find my Udyam number?

Register free on udyamregistration.gov.in, the only official site: verify an Aadhaar number by OTP, then the PAN, and fill in the business details; nothing is uploaded, because investment and turnover are taken from the income tax and GST databases, and the certificate is issued online. The limits now are: micro, investment up to Rs 2.5 crore and turnover up to Rs 10 crore; small, Rs 25 crore and Rs 100 crore; medium, Rs 125 crore and Rs 500 crore. To find a lost Udyam number, use Forgot Udyam/UAM Number on the portal and verify with an OTP to the mobile or email in your application; to print the certificate, log in as Udyami with the 19-character number (UDYAM-XX-00-0000000) and an OTP. The portal itself warns against sites that charge for it. Registration lets a micro or small supplier take a buyer who has not paid within 45 days to MSME Samadhaan.
