Read More...Micro and small businesses registered under the MSMED Act, 2006, get benefits such as loans at a lower interest, payment guarantees from buyers, and so on. The payment guarantee provision protects these businesses from delays in payment from their buyers. As per this act, any buyer of goods or services from registered MSMEs must make the payment on or before the agreed date or within 45 days. In case of a delay in payment beyond the specified date, buyers must pay interest on the amount. Generally in such cases, the interest rate is three times more than the rate that is notified by the Reserve Bank of India.
Additionally, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified that companies having outstanding dues to the MSME (Micro & Small) enterprises have to file the details of all the current outstanding dues to MSMEs in MSME Form-1 with the ROC (Registrar of Companies).
Despite all these facilities, the micro and small businesses are not fully benefitting from the provisions in the MSMED Act. This is primarily due to the absence of an identification for MSME Suppliers, which allows the buyers to omit/miss the MSME status of the supplier in their annual statement of accounts. As a result, the auditors do not detect such omissions because of the non-availability of any identification for MSME status.
The MSMEs should mention/print their MSME status on their invoices, bills and other relevant documents. The visibility provided to buyers and their accountants will help in the release of the payments on time and it will be also easy to file for compensation in case of delay in payments.
