Overview

MSME registration helps the Micro, Small, and Medium (MSME) industries to obtain various benefits provided by the government for their growth. In a developing country like India, MSME industries are the backbone of the economy. When these industries grow, the country’s economy grows and flourishes. These industries are also known as small-scale industries or SSIs. The Government of India introduced the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act in 2006 to define and regulate MSMEs in India. According to the Act, MSMEs are defined as enterprises engaged in producing, manufacturing, processing, or preserving goods and commodities.
