MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF

(SHRI HARIBHAI PARATHIBHAI CHAUDHARY)

(a) & (b): The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises has provided online registration in the form of Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM) for MSMEs. The UAM is a simplified form to be filed, on self declaration basis without any supporting documents and fees. The online filing of UAM has facilitated the registration process of MSMEs. Filling of UAM is mandatory for availing benefits of Government’s schemes intended to MSMEs like Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) and National Manufacturing Competitiveness Programme (NMCP). 

(c): No

(d): Does not arise.
