Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover my Udyam number using my PAN?
The primary recovery methods are Aadhaar and registered mobile number. PAN alone cannot be used for online recovery. However, you can provide PAN details when contacting the Udyam helpdesk for manual verification and recovery.
Is there a fee for recovering a forgotten URN?
No. URN recovery on the Udyam portal is completely free. There are no charges for OTP verification or viewing your registration details.
I registered under Udyog Aadhaar. Can I recover my number on the Udyam portal?
If your Udyog Aadhaar has been migrated to Udyam, you will receive a new URN. Use the Udyam portal’s recovery option with your Aadhaar. If migration has not happened, you may need to re-register on the Udyam portal.
What if I have multiple Udyam registrations and forgot which one?
The recovery system shows all URNs linked to your Aadhaar. If you have multiple enterprises registered, all of them will appear after OTP verification. Select the one you need.
Can my CA or consultant recover my URN on my behalf?
The OTP is sent to the Aadhaar-linked mobile of the enterprise owner. Your CA can assist with the process, but you will need to provide the OTP received on your mobile for verification.
