MSME Registration and Its Importance


Registering a start up company as a micro, small or medium scale enterprise under MSMED Act in India automatically conveys a plethora of benefits on the enterprise. The MSME registration is a totally optional process for all relevant enterprises but companies prefer the certification because of the following reasons:-

·         Micro industries are ones where the investment in the business is not more than Rs. 25 lakh in the manufacturing sector and not exceeding Rs. 10 lakh for industries in service sector.
·         Small industries are the ones whose investment does not go beyond Rs. 5 crore in the manufacturing segment and Rs. 2 crore for companies involved in services.
·         Medium scale enterprises are one whose investment does not go beyond Rs. 10 crore for manufacturing companies and Rs. 5 crore for ones involved in service sector.
