Govt warns MSMEs against fake Udyam portal

New Delhi, Sept 9 (KNN) The central government has alerted businesses and industries against a fake eudyogaadhaar.org portal which is posing as a government-approved consultancy organisation providing Udyam registration.

On Thursday through its PIB Fact Check Twitter handle the government said the fake portal charges Rs 2,700 for “printing the registration certificate”. 

The fake website is asking for Rs 2,700 for printing the registration certificate as it claims to be the official registration portal for ‘MSME Udyam’.

“Except this portal of Government of India and Government’s Single Window Systems, no other private online or offline system, service, agency or person is authorized or entitled to do MSME Registration or undertake any of the activity related with the process,” according to the official portal. 

Udyam registration udyamregistration.gov.in is the only official website and is a free-of-cost 19-digit number unique to every enterprise registering as an MSME in the government records.

The registration is paperless and based on self-declaration with only the Aadhaar number required while PAN and GST-linked details on investment and turnover of businesses are sourced automatically from the government databases integrated with income tax and GST identification number (GSTIN) systems.  (KNN Bureau)
