What Is NSIC Registration?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
NSIC Registration under the Single Point Registration Scheme (SPRS) is a government-backed enrolment that lets a Micro or Small Enterprise sell to government departments and PSUs on preferential terms, with exemption from EMD and tender fees.
The Single Point Registration Scheme is operated by the National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC) under the Government Purchase / Store Purchase Programme and supports the Public Procurement Policy for Micro & Small Enterprises Order, 2012 issued under the MSMED Act, 2006.
Administered by the National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC) Ltd., a Government of India enterprise under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (Ministry of MSME).
An SPRS registration is normally valid for two years and is renewed thereafter, subject to the enterprise remaining a Micro or Small Enterprise and continuing to meet the scheme conditions.

Talk to an Expert →Why Is NSIC (SPRS) Registration Important?
NSIC registration is optional in law, but it opens the government procurement market to Micro & Small Enterprises with real cost and preference advantages. Here is why MSEs register.
-
01
EMD & Tender-Fee Exemption
Registered MSEs are exempt from paying Earnest Money Deposit and, in participating departments, tender-set fees — freeing up working capital for every bid.
-
02
Government Purchase Preference
SPRS registration gives your enterprise purchase and price preference in tenders floated by central government departments and PSUs.
-
03
25% Procurement Policy
The Public Procurement Policy for MSEs, 2012 requires at least 25% of annual government procurement from MSEs — registration positions you to compete for it.
-
04
SC/ST & Women Sub-Targets
Within the 25% target, sub-targets are reserved for SC/ST-owned and women-owned MSEs, giving eligible units an added edge.
-
05
Free Issue of Tender Sets
Registered MSEs receive tender sets free of cost from participating government buyers, reducing the cost of bidding.
-
06
Verified Competence
NSIC inspects and certifies your unit’s stores/items and capacity, giving buyers independent assurance of your competence.

Udyam Registration first
SPRS is only for units classified as Micro or Small under a valid Udyam Registration. Medium enterprises are not covered. Complete Udyam before applying for NSIC.
Technical inspection
NSIC (or an empanelled agency) carries out a technical inspection of your premises, plant, machinery and quality controls to certify the items and capacity you can supply.
Turnover-based fee
The NSIC registration fee and inspection charges are prescribed on a turnover-based slab for Micro and Small units — separate from any professional fee.
Items must be in production
You can register only stores / items already in commercial production at your unit. Traders and units not manufacturing in-house are generally not eligible for those items.
Don’t have all the documents?
We’ll identify what your case needs →How NSIC (SPRS) Registration Works (Step by Step)
The application is filed online on the NSIC portal, followed by a technical inspection of your unit before the certificate is issued.

| Stage | Expected Time |
|---|---|
| Application preparation & filing | 2–5 working days |
| Technical inspection scheduling & visit | 1–3 weeks |
