- (a): No,  Madam.    The  registration  of  the  working  MSMEs  has  been increasing  over  a  period  of  time.  As  per  the  4 th Census,  the  total  number  of registered  MSME  units  was  22.48  lakhs  (15.64  lakh  units  working  and remaining  ones  closed  or  untraceable)  whereas  as  per  3 rd Census,    the  total number of SSI units permanently registered up to 31 st March, 2001 was 22.62 lakhs (13.75 lakh units working and remaining ones closed).
- (b): Yes,  Madam.  The Ministry on 18-09-15 has notified for online filing of Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM) at http://udyogaadhaar.gov.in by MSMEs.  In order to promote ease of doing business for MSMEs, Government has simplified the registration process of MSMEs through UAM.  Cumbersome process  of  filing  Entrepreneurs  Memorandum  Part  -II  (EM-II)  has  been replaced with a one- page, simplified online UAM form.  No fee is required for filing of UAM.  UAM is filed on self-declaration basis and no documentation is required. Number of EM-II filed during 2015-16 are 2,17,854. From 18.9.2015 to 31.03.2016, 500058 units filed UAM. The State/UT-wise details are placed at Annexure-I.

(c): No, Madam.

(d):      The  filing  of  UAM  is  voluntary.    State  Government  and  industry associations have been urged by Government of India to expedite the pace of registration  of  UAM  through  a  series  of  communications,  interactive  sessions over video-conferencing and holding Regional Conclaves. Banks and Financial Institutions have also been sensitized about acceptance of UAM at par with EMII.
