The eCommerce market in India is growing at a fast pace. Especially after the covert 19 pandemic and impending lockdowns in different parts of the country, eCommerce has become more of a necessity than a choice. Several businesses have opened up in the sector, and more and more brands are moving online.

It is a great time to start your e-commerce business as online consumers are increasing. According to a report by IBEF, the eCommerce market is expected to touch the US$ 84-billion mark in 2021 on the back of healthy growth in the Indian organized retail sector.

However, when you start a business, you need to acquire several licenses and complete registrations, which are mandatory or provide you benefits and security. We have talked about GST and IEC registration in some of our previous blogs. Here, we will talk about MSME registration, its significance, and how you can do it quickly. 

What is MSME in India?

MSME refers to the medium, small, and micro enterprises (MSME) engaged in the manufacturing, production, processing, or distribution of goods. 

Their segregation is done based on their investment cap as follows –

  • Microenterprise – Rs. 25 lakh;
  • Small enterprise – Rs. 25 lakh but does not exceed Rs. 5 crores;
  • Medium enterprise – More than Rs.5 crore but does not exceed Rs.10 crore.

Many businesses have protested against this breakdown as after growing from micro to small and eventually medium enterprises, companies lose out on the benefits. 

After introducing Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, many modifications were made to the MSME strategy, following which investment and an annual turnover of businesses were considered before classifying a business in the MSME category. 

Currently, the government classification of MSMEs is based on –

  • Manufacturing enterprises
  • Enterprises Rendering Services
