After Pune, Thane and Aurangabad have bagged the second and third stand with 8,527 and 7,507 registrations, respectively.

The registrations for new MSMEs have been made online and linked to the Adhaar Card number from October 6, 2015 by the Maharashtra state government, after the Union government introduced online registration. Accordingly, an entrepreneur, who is opening a unit in either of the categories, will have to submit the Adhaar card number.

An official from the industrial department said, “Nashik has touched the 5,000 mark in online registrations of MSMEs in the last 10 months. Nashik district has got the sixth ranking in online registration. Pune and Thane have retained their position right from the beginning because of the potential and awareness.”

Earlier, the MSMEs had to submit the ‘Part One’ certificate to the District Industries Centre of the state while opening a new unit and submit ‘Part Two’ certificate after the plant went into commercial operation. The government cancelled both these certificates and introduced the new online registration system.
