2Retailers and Wholesalers can now obtain Udyam
Registration
3Retailers and Wholesalers have been facing the
problem of not being able to register under the
MSME Scheme as the same has not been permitted
since the time MSME Registration was implemented.
When MSME Registration was converted into Udyog
Aadhar even then the registration of Retailers
Wholesalers was not permitted by the Ministry of
MSME. Even though the NIC code list consisted of
activities of Retailers Wholesalers under the
broad category of 45, 46 47 still their
registration was not permitted and the same was
mentioned in the Circular issued on 27th June
2017. Further, when Udyam Registration was
implemented even then the Ministry of MSME did
not allow Retailers and Wholesalers to obtain
registration under the MSME scheme and avail
benefits granted under it. For long the
Retailers Wholesalers of India have been making
continuous representations to the Ministry of
MSME and requesting them to be allowed to obtain
registration under the MSME Scheme to avail
benefits granted under the scheme.
4Finally, it seems that the Ministry of MSME under
its new leadership has listened to the people of
India and has issued the below circular. The
Ministry of Micro, Small Medium
Enterprises through its Circular No.
5/2(2)/2021-E/P G/Policy (E-19025) dated
2nd July 2021, has allowed the activities of
Retail and Wholesale Trading falling under the
broad categories of 45, 46 47 of the NIC Codes
to obtain Udyam Registration.

9The above mentioned activities are now allowed to
obtain registration under Udyam Registration. It
is important to note that even though Retailers
and Wholesalers have been allowed to obtain
registration, the benefits granted under the MSME
Scheme by the Ministry of MSME will not be passed
on to these applicants by default. Currently, the
benefits have been restricted to Priority Sector
Lending only. The enterprises who have been able
to obtain Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum under the
above stated NIC codes can now migrate to Udyam
Registration or apply for a fresh Udyam
Registration.
