The Government has simplified the documents required for Udyog Aadhaar. It is a well-known fact that small and medium businesses are the backbone of India’s business community. To support such business owners, the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) has taken a proactive step by introducing the Udyog Aadhaar. It is a 12-digit unique identification number provided to micro, small, and medium enterprises.

What are micro, small and medium enterprises?
