The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 3 Nov 2018The benefits announced by the Prime Minister for the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) are welcome. A plan to let MSMEs obtain a loan in 59 minutes has grabbed the headlines, but the substantive reform is mandating all large firms — defined as companies with a turnover over ₹500 crore — to make their procurement from MSMEs eligible for factoring. This is to be achieved by compulsory listing of all bills of supply from MSMEs on the Trade Receivables electronic Discounting System (TReDS). The promise of higher interest subvention to exporters is welcome, too, although the real reform the sector needs is faster release of much-delayed input tax credit on exports.
