REGISTERING MSME
The main purpose of Registration is to maintain statistics and maintain a roll
of such units for the purposes of providing incentives and support services.
States have generally adopted the uniform registration procedures as per the
guidelines. It must be noted that small industries is basically a state subject.
States use the same registration scheme for implementing their own policies.
BENEFITS OF REGISTERING
The registration scheme has no statutory basis. Units would normally get registered
to avail some benefits, incentives or support given either by the Central or
State Govt. The regime of incentives offered by the Centre generally contains
the following: - Credit prescription (Priority sector lending), differential
rates of interest etc. - Excise Exemption Scheme - Exemption under Direct Tax
Laws. - Statutory support such as reservation and the Interest on Delayed Payments
Act. (It is to be noted that the Banking Laws, Excise Law and the Direct Taxes
Law have incorporated the word MSME in their exemption notifications. Though
in many cases they may define it differently. However, generally the registration
certificate issued by the registering authority is seen as proof of being MSME).
States/UTs have their own package of facilities and incentives for small scale.
They relate to development of industrial estates, tax subsidies, power tariff
subsidies, capital investment subsidies and other support. Both the Centre and
the State, whether under law or otherwise, target their incentives and support
packages generally to units registered with them.

ways which will make it liable for de-registration:

Collateral Free Loans - Micro and Small Enterprises
On September 21, 2007 banks were advised, vide our circular RPCD.PLNFS.No 3068/06.02.31/2007-08,
that they may extend collateral-free loans upto Rs.5 lakh, to all new loans
sanctioned to the units of MSE sector (both manufacturing and services enterprises)
as defined under MSMED Act,2006. Banks may extend collateral-free loans upto
Rs.5 lakhs to all new loans to the MSE sector (both manufacturing and service
enterprises).
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee ,
presenting the Union Budget 2009-10 on July 6,
has given some respite to the MSME sector. Acknowledging that the slowdown in
exports due to the global demand slump has hit small and micro units the hardest,
the minister has proposed the formation of a special fund for the sector.
The proposed fund, worth Rs 4,000 crore,will be formed out of the Rural Infrastructure
Development Fund (RIDF) and provided to the Small Industries Development Bank
of India (SIDBI).
This fund is expected to incentivise
banks
and State Finance Corporations (SFCs) to extend loans to MSMEs by
refinancing
50% of incremental lending to these players during 2009-10. According to the
minister, this move will facilitate
credit
flow at affordable rates for MSMEs and thereby provide them the much-needed
fiscal support.
The announcement of the proposed fund has lifted the spirits of the MSME segment.
“For several months we have seen suffering due to the credit crunch. We hope
that with the formation of this fund we will be able to get adequate funds to
revive our business,” said GC Ghosh, proprietor of Radha Export International,
a small-sized basmati rice exporting company in Kolkata.
Other industries are required to get Industrial License under the Industries
(Development & Regulation) Act,1951.
