Step-by-Step Guide & Common Issues in Udyam Registration for Small Business

[Udyam registration]

Hello everyone,

I am planning to register my small business under Udyam (previously Udyog Aadhar). I have read the official portal, but would like input from experienced practitioners on real issues and best practices.

I have the following questions and would appreciate guidance, especially from accountants, CA / CS / tax professionals:

1. Eligibility & documents required

• For micro / small units, is the turnover threshold still applicable?

• What documents are mandatory (PAN, Aadhar, bank proof, address proof, etc.)?

2. Application procedure & portal issues

• Which portal should one use — Udyam Registration portal, or some state MSME portal?

• Are there common errors (validation failures, mismatches, portal downtime) people face while submitting?

3. Post-registration challenges

• Issuance of Udyam Certificate: how many days typically?

• Is re-verification done by authorities?

• What happens if details change — e.g., change in address, addition of new activity — how to update Udyam registration?

4. Benefits & integration with GST / government tenders

• After obtaining Udyam Certificate, which key benefits are reliably available (subsidies, priority in tenders, lower interest, etc.)?

• Are there states that do not accept Udyam for tenders / MSME benefits?

5. Real experiences & regional challenges

• For those in Bihar / Patna (or nearby states), did you face any local/state level hurdles?

• Any recommended CA / consultant in Patna / Bihar with smooth track record?

Bonus question:
Has any business been rejected or asked for clarifications after initial approval? What were typical reasons and how to anticipate them?

Thank you in advance! Your insights will help many others who struggle with this registration.
