What Do You Mean By MSME Classification?
Prior to now, the MSME classification system was determined by criteria related to investments in machinery and/or equipment. Therefore, in order to qualify for MSME incentives, MSMEs must keep their investment to a smaller level, as described below:
Existing MSME Classification | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Sector | Criteria | Micro | Small | Medium |
Manufacturing | Investment | < Rs.25 lakh | < Rs.5 crore | < Rs.10 crore |
Services | Investment | < Rs.10 lakh | < Rs.2 crore | < Rs.5 crore |

A PRC (provisional registration certificate) is allotted to new enterprises without any field enquiry and is valid for 5 years.

NRIs only allowed to incorporate limited business entities in India including private limited company and limited liability partnership. Also, there is no requirement to obtain the prior approval from the government or RBI. But, in order to register a private company or an LLP at least one director/partner must be a resident of India. However, the private limited company is ideal for NRIs.
In order to execute the idea into a long-term business, choosing the right form of business is important. For start-ups, Private Limited Company is the best option for the following reasons:
- Limited legal compliances
- No minimum capital contribution
- Need only 2 directors and shareholders (both can be the same person)
- Funding can be raised
- Limited liability of the members
As per the relevant Act, there is no minimum requirement for Paid-up Share capital or contribution to incorporate a private company, one person company or limited liability partnership. However, each shareholder/partner should subscribe to a minimum one share of Rs.10 face value.
