Exports of goods or services are excluded when calculating turnover. Turnover figures are linked to Income Tax or GST Acts. For enterprises without a PAN, self-declaration is accepted until March 31, 2021, after which PAN and GSTIN become mandatory.

Yes, all existing enterprises registered under EM-Part-II or UAM must re-register on the Udyam Registration portal on or after July 1, 2020. Existing registrations are valid only until March 31, 2021.
