Frequently Asked Questions: Business & Professional Registrations

1. Is there any official government fee for Udyam Registration?
No. The Ministry of MSME does not charge any fee for Udyam registration. Any private website demanding payment for MSME certificate issuance is an intermediary service and not an official portal.
2. When is GST registration mandatory for a new business?
GST registration is mandatory if your annual aggregate turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh for businesses exclusively engaged in the sale of goods (₹20 lakh for special category northeastern/hill states), or ₹20 lakh for service providers (₹10 lakh in special category states), or if you engage in inter-state taxable supply or e-commerce.
