Thanks to the UDYAM registration scheme of the Government of India, MSMEs today have less risk of running their operations without any disruptions.

If you are uncertain about the status of the UDYAM registration of your suppliers, here are some ways in which you can find out about the same:
Suppliers who register under UDYAM get a unique MSME Registration Number. If you check their invoices thoroughly and spot this number, it means that they are registered under the UDYAM scheme.
The invoice also states whether a particular invoice is categorised as micro, small, or medium. This will give you an idea of the status of your supplier’s business.
Usually, the invoice will tell you all the details about suppliers' MSME registration status. However, if you are unable to spot these details through the invoice, you can use the suppliers' PAN and AADHAAR numbers to check for the status.
To verify your supplier’s status using this feature, you can use your own credentials to validate your AADHAR and enter the official MSME portal.
Here, choose the option “Organizational Specifics.” Choose the type of organisation you are looking for (sole proprietorships, partnership firms, cooperative societies, and more).
Get the suppliers’ PAN details from their invoices and enter them next to the type of organisation. If you get the message” UDYAM Registration has already been done through this PAN,” it means the supplier is registered under UDYAM.
Business owners should first ensure the UDYAM (MSME) registration of suppliers to comply with these new rules. All the new payment terms under the MSME Act of 2006 and the disallowance of expenses under the Income Tax Act of 1961 apply to registered suppliers only.
