Reservation of the items for assembling by MSME

Registering a business under Udyog Aadhar is very easy. The steps are simple, and you don’t need to get any documents signed by a professional.

Another big benefit is that the government reserves certain items to be manufactured only by MSMEs. This helps small businesses grow without facing tough competition from big companies.

Why Udyog Aadhar is Needed:

Registering for Udyog Aadhar gives small businesses several important benefits, such as:

  1. Easy approval of bank loans at lower interest rates
  2. Access to the Credit Guarantee Scheme, which helps in getting loans without collateral
  3. Exemption from excise duty, which saves money on manufacturing
  4. Tax benefits under direct tax laws
  5. Protection against delayed payments, if a buyer delays payment, the business is entitled to 3 times the RBI interest rate as compensation

MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) can get many kinds of support from State Governments, such as:

  • Extra credit facilities (more options for loans)
  • Help with business expansion and growth
  • Support in advertising and marketing, both in India and abroad
  • Assistance to set up businesses in underdeveloped areas
  • Technical advice and financial help to improve machinery and upgrade technology

Apart from this, the government regularly updates a list of products that must be purchased only from MSMEs. This helps small businesses get more opportunities and grow faster.

Trademark Discount for Small Businesses

As per the Trademark Rules 2017, special benefits are given to micro and small businesses.

According to Rule A, MSMEs only have to pay half the fee for filing a trademark application compared to other types of businesses. This makes it easier and more affordable for small businesses to protect their brand.
