How Licenses & Certifications works
MSME/Udyam and IEC are registrations for eligible businesses and trade activity. ISO certification concerns a management system and is issued after an independent audit by a certification body. A trademark is an intellectual-property filing, not an operating licence.
Eligibility and requirements
- Identify the business entity, activity, product, and locations covered by the application.
- Check whether the registration is optional, threshold-based, or required for the intended activity or transaction.
- For certification, define the scope and select the applicable standard, product scheme, or export code.
- Keep entity, ownership, address, and authorised signatory details consistent across filings.
Commonly requested documents
- Entity constitution or business proof, PAN, and authorised-person identity details.
- Business and premises address evidence, contact information, and bank details when requested.
- Product, service, turnover, or export information appropriate to the application.
- For ISO audits, process records and scope details; for trademarks, mark artwork and goods/services classes.
