What is MSME Registration ?
In India, the MSME sector plays a crucial role in the country's economic growth and employment generation. To encourage the growth of MSMEs, the Govt. of India has introduced various schemes and initiatives, including the MSME Act, 2006, which defines and categorizes MSMEs based on their investment in plant and machinery or equipment.
