How to Verify an MSME / Udyam Registration

Confirm a business is a genuine registered MSME and pull its Udyam details — for lending, procurement and supplier onboarding.

MSME (Micro, Small & Medium Enterprise) status in India is certified through Udyam registration. Verifying a Udyam registration confirms a supplier or borrower is a genuine registered MSME — which matters for priority-sector lending, MSME-linked benefits, and vendor onboarding where MSME status affects payment terms.

What Udyam verification returns

  • The Udyam registration number and enterprise name.
  • Enterprise classification — Micro, Small or Medium.
  • Major activity (manufacturing or services) and NIC codes.
  • Registration date and state.
