Udyam Registration With UAM

If you registered your business earlier under Udyog Aadhaar (UAM), it’s time to update it. The government has replaced UAM with the Udyam Registration system, and continuing with your old UAM number won’t be enough to access MSME Registration benefits anymore.

Difference Between UAM and Udyam

UAM (Udyog Aadhar Memorandum) was the old system where businesses got registered using just an Aadhar number. It was quick, but lacked certain verification steps.

Udyam Registration is the updated system introduced by the government to bring more structure and credibility. It’s completely online - but now linked with PAN and GST, making it more reliable and recognized.

Why Udyam Registration is Better Than Udyog Aadhaar (UAM)

The government replaced Udyog Aadhaar with Udyam Registration and for good reason. Here's what makes Udyam a smarter, more reliable system for small businesses.

Advantages of the New Udyam Registration

1. PAN & GST Linked
   Udyam pulls real-time data from PAN and GST databases. This adds credibility and reduces fake registrations.
2. Auto-Updated Information
   No need to manually update business turnover or employee details—it’s synced with income tax and GST records
3. One Registration Per Business
   No confusion. One Udyam number per enterprise, no duplicates.
4. Professional Certificate with QR Code
   The Udyam certificate looks official and comes with a QR code for instant verification.
5. Eligibility for New Schemes
   Only Udyam-registered businesses can access current MSME schemes, loans, subsidies, and tender benefits.
6. Online and Paperless
   The process is fully digital, quick, and doesn’t require physical documents or visits.

Disadvantages of the Old Udyog Aadhaar (UAM)

1. No PAN/GST Linkage
   Anyone could register with just an Aadhaar, which led to errors and duplicate entries.
2. Not Accepted After June 2022
   UAM is outdated. It’s no longer valid for applying to most MSME schemes or tenders
3. No Auto-Validation
   All data had to be entered manually and wasn’t cross-checked, so inaccuracies were common
4. Multiple Registrations
   One business could register multiple times, creating confusion and misuse.
5. Limited Recognition
   Many government departments and banks now ask specifically for a valid Udyam Registration.
