Udyam Verification Online: How to Verify MSME Registration

What is a Udyam Registration Number?#

The Udyam Registration Number follows a fixed format, for example:
UDYAM-MH-18-1234567

• “UDYAM” is fixed
• Next two characters = State code
• Followed by district and unique serial number

It is free, paperless, based on self-declaration, and valid for the lifetime of the enterprise (no renewal needed).

What information does Udyam verification provide?#

When you verify a Udyam number, you typically get:

• Name of the enterprise
• Type of organisation (Proprietorship, Partnership, etc.)
• Enterprise classification (Micro / Small / Medium)
• Major activity (Manufacturing or Services)
• NIC codes (nature of business)
• Date of Udyam registration
• Official address
• Registration status

This makes it useful for vendor onboarding, MSME lending, government scheme eligibility and fraud checks.

Why Udyam verification matters for businesses#

Common use cases include:

• MSME loan underwriting
• Vendor and supplier onboarding
• Checking eligibility for government schemes and tenders
• Confirming the size classification of a business
• Reducing the risk of dealing with fake or inactive registrations
