No. Udyam registration is a lifetime registration with no renewal required. There is no annual fee, renewal fee, or maintenance fee. The Udyam Registration Number (URN) remains valid permanently as long as the enterprise remains within MSME classification limits.

What is the MSME registration fee vs Udyam registration fee?
The old MSME / Udyog Aadhaar system (before July 2020) had no fee either. Udyam registration replaced Udyog Aadhaar from 1 July 2020. Both are/were free government registrations. Anyone quoting fees for "Udyam/MSME registration" is either a third-party agent or fraudulent.
Are there government fees after Udyam registration (for schemes/benefits)?
The Udyam registration itself is free. However, specific schemes under Udyam may have their own costs — e.g., NSIC registration (for government tender benefits) has fees based on turnover, CGTMSE loan guarantee scheme has guarantee fees, and ISO certification (subsidized under MSME) may have nominal costs. Udyam registration as a document is always free.
