Frequently asked questions

These quick answers cover common planning questions before you request a checklist or quote.

• What is NSIC registration?: It is a registration under the Single Point Registration Scheme (SPRS) that enables MSMEs to participate in government procurement with specific benefits like EMD waiver.
• How is it different from Udyam registration?: Udyam is a basic recognition for all MSMEs. NSIC is a more technical registration that involves a physical factory inspection and is specifically meant for government tender participation.
• What is the monetary limit in NSIC?: The monetary limit is the maximum value of a single order for which the unit is considered technically and financially capable by NSIC. It is based on 50% of the highest turnover in the last 3 years.
• Is a factory inspection mandatory?: Yes. Every fresh registration and every renewal involving an increase in the monetary limit requires a physical inspection of the manufacturing or service unit.
• What is the validity of the NSIC certificate?: The SPRS certificate is valid for a period of 2 years and must be renewed before expiry.
• Can traders apply for NSIC registration?: No. The Single Point Registration Scheme is specifically designed for manufacturing and service-providing MSMEs. Pure trading entities are not eligible.
• What is the EMD waiver benefit?: MSMEs registered with NSIC do not have to pay the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) when bidding for government tenders, which significantly improves their cash flow.
• Do I need an ISO certificate for NSIC?: While not strictly mandatory for all categories, having an ISO certificate strengthens your technical assessment and can help in obtaining a higher monetary limit.
