OK..BUT WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS IF ONE  GETS REGISTERED IN THIS ACT..??

The Registrant is benefitted in the form of Fiscal Support, Technical, Credit and Marketing Support from the Government during the initial phase of the business, which is very crtical for a new business entity.

Apart from getting other benefits, if a micro or small enterprise has filed a memorandum with District Industries Centre (DIC) of its area, then it stands to gain as to timely payment in respect of supply of goods or rendering of services to any buyer.

It must be noted that with the enactment of MSMED Act, 2006. The Interest on Delayed Payments to Small Scale and Ancillary Industrial Undertakings Act, 1993 is repealed, with effect from October 2, 2006.

As per this Act, if the buyer has purchased goods or availed services from micro or small enterprise, which has filed a memorandum with the authority, than the buyer shall make payment on or before the date agreed upon between him and the supplier in writing. If no agreement is there in writing then within a period of 15 days (30 days were mentioned in the repealed Act) from the day the goods are delivered or services are rendered. The Act further stipulates that even if the period between the buyer and supplier is agreed in writing, such period shall not exceed 45 days (120 days were mentioned in the repealed Act) from the day of delivery of goods or rendering of services. In short, any credit term from a micro or small enterprise stipulating payment terms beyond 45 days, shall be in violation of the MSMED Act, 2006

Dear Anurag ,

Please tell me what is the definition of ËQUIPMENTS

what is the procedure for registration under this act???

Dear All,

There are many benefits if a Micro and SSI unit is registered under the MSMED Act i.e easier to get bank loan, waiver of EMD if the unit participates in a government tender but the most important benefit is to refer any disputes in respect to non payment/delayed payment as per the MSMED Act read with Arbitration Act 1996.
