Udyog Aadhaar is a twelve digit Unique Identification Number provided by the Indian Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises beginning in September 2015.[2][3] It is also known as Aadhaar for business.[4] As of July 2018, more than 4.8 million (48 lakh) MSMEs[1] in India are registered under Udyog Aadhaar.[5]
Documents Required for Udyog Aadhaar[edit]
- Aadhaar card or Aadhaar Enrolment ID slip[6]
- Bank passbook with photograph
- Voter ID card
- Passport
- PAN card
- Driving license
- An employee ID card issued by the Government (if any)
- Caste certificate (for SC, ST, and OBC category)[1][better source needed]
Criticisms[edit]
Companies registered under Udyog Aadhaar are often noted for their poor productivity; both capital and labour productivity per unit of output are low compared to bigger firms. This indicates that Udyog Aadhaar has failed to augment technological adoption for MSMEs.[7]
