Comparison

Composite (Post-2020) vs Investment-Only (Pre-2020)

Why this matters here — Pothur Thiruverkadu businesses operate where the cluster of residential, retail, small trade businesses that defines Pothur Thiruverkadu's commercial fabric, and served by short connections to Thiruverkadu and Thiruverkadu Pudur and onward to central Chennai.

AspectComposite (Post-2020)Investment-Only (Pre-2020)
Aadhaar requirementAadhaar of proprietor / managing partner / Karta / authorised signatory is mandatory; entity PAN is mandatory from 01-04-2021Aadhaar was mandatory under UAM from 2015 but PAN linkage was optional; entity-level PAN integration arrived only with Udyam

Composite reclassification dynamicsAn enterprise crossing either investment OR turnover ceiling moves upward; both must come below to move downward — three-year transition window for benefits as per S.O. 2347(E) dated 16-06-2021Reclassification was triggered solely by investment crossing — no dual-criterion or transition cushion existed
Excluded items in investmentPollution-control, R&D, industrial safety devices and items listed in Explanation 1 to Section 7(1) continue to be excluded; land & building always excludedSame Explanation 1 exclusions applied — land, building, pollution-control, R&D — but list operated on original invoice value rather than WDV

A complete walkthrough — Msme Registration

Localised for Pothur Thiruverkadu, Chennai — where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme.

Reading this guide locally — Pothur Thiruverkadu businesses operate where around the Pothur Junction catchment of Pothur Thiruverkadu, and Pothur Thiruverkadu businesses in the retail arm find that businesses face GST classification disputes cash-sales reconciliation and frequent Rule 138E e-way block alerts.

What is Udyam Registration and why does it matter

Economic significance and policy objective

The U.K. Sinha Committee Report 2019 on MSME finance documented that the MSME sector contributes approximately thirty per cent of national gross value added and is responsible for forty-five per cent of national manufacturing output and forty per cent of exports. The OECD SME Policy Index 2018 placed India in the middle band of comparable jurisdictions on the dimension of MSME formalisation, with the principal weakness being low coverage of the very-small and informal end of the sector. The policy objective of the Udyam regime is therefore twofold: to bring informal enterprises into the recorded universe through low-friction self-declaration, and to make the recorded universe legally bankable through automatic data-linkage with PAN, GST and TReDS, thereby reducing the credit-information asymmetry that has historically constrained MSME lending in India.

Headline benefits at a glance

An Udyam-registered enterprise becomes eligible for the Public Procurement Policy for MSEs Order 2012 (revised 2018) under which central ministries, departments and Central Public Sector Enterprises must source twenty-five per cent of their annual procurement from Micro and Small Enterprises. It becomes a protected supplier under Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act inserted by Finance Act 2023, enabling automatic disallowance of corresponding deductions in the buyer's hands if payment is not made within forty-five days of acceptance. It qualifies for collateral-free credit under the CGTMSE scheme up to ₹500 lakh, for priority-sector lending classification under RBI/2017-18/82, for participation in the TReDS receivables-financing framework, and for several state-level interest-subvention and electricity-tariff-rebate schemes.

Statutory basis under the MSMED Act 2006

Udyam Registration is the present-day formal recognition of an enterprise as a Micro, Small or Medium Enterprise under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act 2006 (the MSMED Act). The Act was enacted on the recommendation of the S.P. Gupta Study Group on Development of Small Enterprises and replaced the earlier industries-development legislation that had only recognised small-scale industrial units. The Udyam Registration regime itself was constituted by Notification S.O. 1702(E) of 26-06-2020 issued by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in exercise of powers under Section 7 read with Section 8 of the MSMED Act, supplemented by G.S.R.621(E) which established the Udyam Registration portal as the single window for the entire process. The certificate is a legal recognition; it is not a licence to do business, but it unlocks an entire suite of statutory, fiscal and procurement-related benefits.

Micro and Small Enterprise Facilitation Council

Filing a Section 18 reference

An Udyam-registered Micro or Small Enterprise supplier can file a reference under Section 18 of the MSMED Act before the MSEFC of the state where the supplier is located, in respect of any amount due under Section 15 read with Section 16 of the Act. The reference must be accompanied by the Udyam Registration Certificate, copies of the disputed invoices and supporting purchase orders or contracts, evidence of acceptance of the supply, and the supplier's computation of principal and Section 16 interest as of the date of reference. The Council issues notice to the buyer, attempts conciliation within ninety days, and on failure of conciliation proceeds to arbitration. The arbitral award is enforceable as a decree of the civil court under Section 36 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.

Pre-deposit requirement on appeal

Section 19 of the MSMED Act creates a strong supplier-friendly enforcement design by requiring the buyer to deposit seventy-five per cent of the award amount before filing any application to set aside the MSEFC award under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. The seventy-five per cent pre-deposit is a non-negotiable jurisdictional pre-condition, and several Supreme Court decisions including Goodyear India v. Norton Intech Rubbers and Tirupati Steels v. Shubh Industrial Component have confirmed that the High Court has no discretion to waive or reduce it. The provision has been a material deterrent against frivolous buyer-side challenges and has accelerated supplier recoveries through the MSEFC mechanism.

MSME Samadhaan portal

To digitise the Section 18 reference process, the Ministry of MSME launched the MSME Samadhaan portal at samadhaan.msme.gov.in. The portal allows Udyam-registered suppliers to file delayed-payment references online, with PAN- and Udyam-based authentication, automatic state-mapping to the appropriate MSEFC, document-upload functionality and case-tracking. The portal aggregates pendency data across all state MSEFCs and publishes statistics on cases filed, conciliated, awarded and challenged. The Ministry uses the portal as a transparency and accountability mechanism, and the U.K. Sinha Committee Report 2019 had specifically recommended such digitisation as a confidence-building measure for MSE participation in formal dispute-resolution channels.

Section 16 of the MSMED Act and interest on delayed payment

Computation methodology

Section 16 of the MSMED Act provides that interest on delayed payment to an MSE supplier is computed at three times the bank rate notified by the Reserve Bank of India. The bank rate is published by the RBI in its Monetary Policy resolutions and is currently in the range of 6.5 per cent to 7 per cent, making the effective Section 16 interest rate approximately 19.5 per cent to 21 per cent per annum. Critically, the interest is compounded with monthly rests rather than simple-interest, which materially increases the time-value of the claim. The interest runs from the day immediately following the Section 15 deadline (typically forty-six days from acceptance) until the date of actual payment, irrespective of any contractual provision to the contrary.

Non-deductibility for the buyer

Section 23 of the MSMED Act bars the buyer from claiming Section 16 interest as a deduction in computing income chargeable to tax under the Income Tax Act 1961. This is a stand-alone disallowance that operates independently of the broader Section 43B(h) regime and applies irrespective of whether the buyer eventually pays the interest. The provision was tested and upheld in Tata Steel Ltd v. CIT and several subsequent High Court decisions, on the rationale that the disallowance is part of the supplier-protective regime under the MSMED Act and not in conflict with any provision of the Income Tax Act. Practitioners advising corporate buyers should accordingly treat Section 16 interest as a permanently disallowed expenditure for tax purposes.

Interaction with contract clauses

It is common for procurement contracts between corporate buyers and MSE suppliers to specify a payment period of sixty days or ninety days, on the basis of the buyer's standard payment-terms policy. Section 15 of the MSMED Act caps the agreed period at forty-five days, and any contract clause specifying a longer period is unenforceable to that extent. Section 16 interest therefore begins to run from day forty-six (or day sixteen in the absence of any written agreement) regardless of the contract clause, and a court or MSEFC will read down the contract clause to the statutory ceiling. This is a non-derogable provision and operates as a public-policy override on freedom of contract.

State-level benefits and incentive schemes

Reimbursement of ISO and quality-certification costs

The Ministry of MSME at the central level and many state governments operate schemes for reimbursement of costs incurred by MSE units in obtaining ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ZED (Zero Defect Zero Effect) and other quality-certifications. The central-government Lean Manufacturing Competitiveness Scheme reimburses up to eighty per cent of the cost of consultancy, training and certification, subject to a per-unit ceiling. State schemes layered on top often reimburse the residual twenty per cent, making the certification effectively cost-free for the MSE unit. The Udyam Registration Number is the qualifying credential, and the reimbursement is paid to the unit on production of the certification certificate and proof of payment to the certifying body.

Stamp duty and registration concessions

Most state governments grant stamp-duty concessions on conveyance of land and building for Micro and Small Enterprise units in notified industrial estates, on the basis of the Udyam Registration Number. The concession is typically in the range of fifty per cent to one hundred per cent of the standard stamp duty, subject to a continuing-use undertaking that the property will be used for MSE purposes for a minimum period (typically five to ten years). Several states extend the concession to lease deeds and mortgage deeds executed in favour of CGTMSE-cover-participating lenders. The Udyam Registration is the qualifying credential, and the state-level Industries Department typically administers the concession through a notification under the relevant Stamp Act.

Electricity tariff rebate

State electricity utilities typically offer concessional industrial-tariff slabs for Udyam-registered Micro and Small Enterprise units. The concession may take the form of a lower tariff rate, exemption from electricity duty, or a fixed-charge waiver. The administering body is the state electricity regulatory commission, which periodically issues tariff orders specifying the slabs. To access the concession, the consumer must furnish the Udyam Registration Certificate to the utility at the time of new-connection application or tariff-revision review, and the connection's tariff category is updated accordingly. The concession reduces the per-unit power cost meaningfully and is an important consideration in the location-choice decision for power-intensive MSE units.

What Pothur Thiruverkadu clients usually ask next: On the ground in Pothur Thiruverkadu, where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme; for the professional and salaried population of Pothur Thiruverkadu navigating personal-tax and home-office GST.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Terms you will hear in this area — Pothur Thiruverkadu businesses operate where where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme.

Investment Limit

The threshold for plant and machinery investment that decides MSME category: up to Rs 2.5 crore for Micro, Rs 25 crore for Small, Rs 125 crore for Medium under revised limits effective 1-April-2025. Investment is computed at CIF value including customs duty but excluding GST input credit available.

Turnover Limit

The annual sales threshold deciding MSME category: up to Rs 10 crore for Micro, Rs 100 crore for Small, Rs 500 crore for Medium under revised limits effective 1-April-2025. Export turnover is excluded from this computation, allowing exporters to stay in lower categories while scaling outward sales.

PSL Benefit

Priority Sector Lending classification under RBI norms where banks lend to MSMEs at concessional interest rates and as part of mandatory lending quota. Both manufacturing-services MSMEs and retail-wholesale traders with Udyam qualify for PSL, though traders qualify only for the lending benefit and not full MSME scheme basket.

Trader Inclusion

Extension of Udyam eligibility to retail and wholesale traders introduced by MoMSME Office Memorandum dated 02-July-2021. Earlier the MSMED Act covered only manufacturing and services. The inclusion is limited to PSL benefit alone, traders do not get access to CGTMSE, PMEGP, or 45-day payment protection under Section 15.

CGTMSE

Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises, a scheme run jointly by Government of India and SIDBI that provides collateral-free credit guarantee to banks lending to MSEs. Coverage is up to Rs 5 crore per borrower, premium ranges 0.37 percent to 1.35 percent of loan amount depending on category and area.

Section 15 MSMED

Mandates that a buyer must pay the supplier MSME within the agreed date or within 45 days of acceptance of goods or services, whichever is earlier. Beyond this, the buyer is liable to pay compound interest at three times the RBI bank rate. Forms the legal backbone of MSME payment protection.

Public Procurement Policy

Government policy mandating that Central Ministries, Departments and PSUs procure minimum 25 percent of their annual goods and services from MSEs, with sub-quotas of 4 percent from SC-ST owned MSEs and 3 percent from women-owned. Vendor onboarding on GeM and CPPP requires valid Udyam certificate.

GeM Portal

Government e-Marketplace, the unified online procurement platform for all government buyers. MSEs registered with Udyam get automatic recognition on GeM as MSE seller with associated benefits like exemption from earnest money deposit and tender fee, plus price preference in many product categories.

Section 405 ROC Disclosure

Sub-section of Companies Act 2013 requiring all companies to file half-yearly returns of outstanding dues to MSME suppliers exceeding 45 days through MSME Form 1 to Registrar of Companies. Due dates are 30-April for October-March period and 31-October for April-September. Non-filing attracts penalty.

Plant and Machinery

For Udyam investment computation, includes tangible assets like machinery, equipment, tools used in business but excludes land, building, furniture, office equipment, and vehicles. Valued at original cost less depreciation as per Income Tax Act, or CIF value for imported machinery including customs duty.

Udyam Update vs Re-classification

Two different portal actions often confused. Update is for changing minor details like address, NIC code, bank account, contact, mobile number. Re-classification is the formal process when the enterprise crosses category thresholds and must move to a higher MSME category. Update is instant, re-classification takes 7 to 12 days.

QR Code Verification

Every authentic Udyam certificate carries a QR code linking to the official Udyam portal page showing live status of the enterprise. Buyers and tender officers should scan this QR to verify Status shows Verified and not Pending. Periodic self-verification protects against tout fraud and stale certificates.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Pothur Thiruverkadu

How the local trade mix shapes this — Pothur Thiruverkadu businesses operate where where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme, and the cluster of residential, retail, small trade businesses that defines Pothur Thiruverkadu's commercial fabric.

Education
Common issue: Ed-tech startups built on a subscription-revenue model often exclude deferred revenue from their Udyam turnover declaration on the principle that it has not yet been recognised under Ind AS 115. The composite criterion in S.O. 1702(E) however refers to turnover as appearing in the GST returns and income-tax returns, both of which apply the time-of-supply rule to advances, leading to a mismatch between the under-declared Udyam record and the actual GSTR-3B and ITR-6 figures.
How we handle it: Adopt the GSTR-3B-equivalent turnover figure as the basis for the Udyam turnover limb so that the Udyam declaration, GST-return aggregate and ITR-6 reported turnover all reconcile to a single figure; ignore Ind AS 115 timing differences for the limited purpose of the composite-criteria computation; refresh the Udyam figure annually after the GSTR-9 annual return is filed for the relevant year.
E-commerce Sellers
Common issue: E-commerce sellers operating through marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho often miss out on the platform-led MSME outreach programmes because their Udyam Number is not linked to the seller-central profile. The Empowered Group of Secretaries on MSME 2018 recommendations spurred several marketplace partnerships offering discounted listing fees and faster dispute-resolution for verified Udyam-registered sellers, all of which require the Udyam Number to be present on the seller dashboard.
How we handle it: Obtain Udyam Registration in the name of the seller entity (proprietorship, LLP or company); update the Udyam Registration Number in the seller-central or partner-portal profile of each marketplace; subscribe to the marketplace's verified-MSME programme to unlock fee waivers and dispute-resolution priority; preserve marketplace remittance settlements as supporting evidence of the declared turnover limb for any subsequent jurisdictional verification.
E-commerce Sellers
Common issue: E-commerce sellers commonly net-off marketplace commission, logistics fees and payment-gateway charges before reporting turnover. The composite criteria in S.O. 1702(E) work on the gross turnover figure reported in the GST returns, where Section 15 of the CGST Act treats the gross consideration including marketplace fees as the value of supply, so net-off declarations create a mismatch with the GSTR-3B output-tax line and invite a higher classification later.
How we handle it: Report gross turnover (before deduction of marketplace commission and logistics charges) on the Udyam portal so that the Udyam record mirrors the GSTR-3B Table 3.1(a) figure; recognise marketplace commission as input GST credit through GSTR-2B; refresh the Udyam classification each year after GSTR-9 reconciliation; if classification crosses a slab, use the self-revision module on the Udyam portal without delay.
Construction Contractors
Common issue: Small civil-works contractors bidding on PSU and government tenders often produce only the Udyam certificate at the bid stage but lack the matching CPWD or PWD registration that the tender notice also requires. The Public Procurement Policy for MSEs Order 2012 grants Udyam-based price preference only after technical qualification, and contractors regularly forfeit tenders because their Udyam status is not the operative qualifying credential for technical-evaluation purposes.
How we handle it: Maintain Udyam Registration in parallel with the relevant CPWD, PWD, NHAI or municipal-corporation contractor licence; quote the Udyam Number in the bid covering letter under the EMD-exemption clause; align the financial-year turnover declared on the Udyam portal with the audited Form 3CD turnover so that any subsequent tender-evaluation officer can independently verify the figure from the income-tax records.
Construction Contractors
Common issue: Contractors often commence work on a government project before the Udyam certificate is issued, on the assumption that the Section 43B(h) 45-day payment discipline applies retrospectively to the date of invoice. The Section operates only in respect of buyers paying suppliers who were Udyam-registered as Micro or Small Enterprises on the date of acceptance of supply, so pre-registration invoices fall outside the disallowance regime and the contractor loses leverage on overdue PSU payments.
How we handle it: Complete Udyam Registration before issuing the first invoice on any government, PSU or large-private contract; cite the Udyam Registration Number on every invoice and running-account bill submitted thereafter; preserve the Udyam acknowledgement screen with the date of issue as part of the project file so that the on-the-record date of registration is independently verifiable for downstream Section 43B(h) and MSEFC proceedings.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

A flavour of cases we handle nearby — Pothur Thiruverkadu businesses operate where where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme, and Pothur Thiruverkadu businesses in the retail arm find that businesses face GST classification disputes cash-sales reconciliation and frequent Rule 138E e-way block alerts.

Registration blockTrading

Aadhaar-PAN-GST trinity blocks proprietor registration

Issue: A first-generation entrepreneur applied for Udyam registration immediately after starting a trading proprietorship. Aadhaar OTP authenticated but the portal blocked PAN-GST validation because the freshly issued GSTIN was not yet reflected on the GSTN turnover API, producing a 'GST data not available' loop on the registration page.
Approach: Under the 01-04-2021 mandate, Aadhaar plus PAN is essential and GSTIN is mandatory only where the enterprise is liable under GST law. For a below-threshold trader, we filed Udyam declaring GST-exemption status by ticking the 'not liable to register under GST' option; portal accepted the self-declaration and generated URN without GSTN lookup.
Outcome: Udyam URN generated in 4 hours; entity onboarded onto TReDS and GeM Seller portal within the same week; deferred GST registration until the threshold trigger.
Trader inclusionRetail Trade

Trader category brought under Udyam from 02-07-2021

Issue: A wholesale and retail trader who had been refused Udyam registration in 2020 on the ground that traders were excluded came back in 2022 asking whether the position had changed. Without Udyam, he was being denied PSL classification on his bank facility and was paying 175 bps higher than the MSME-PSL benchmark rate.
Approach: We confirmed Office Memorandum F.No.5/2(2)/2021-E/P&G/Policy dated 02-07-2021 which extended Udyam registration to retail and wholesale traders for the limited purpose of PSL classification under RBI norms. Filed fresh Udyam, opting 'retail/wholesale trade' activity, and submitted Udyam certificate to the bank with a request for PSL reclassification of the existing facility.
Outcome: Udyam URN issued same day; bank reclassified ₹3.4 cr cash-credit facility to MSME-PSL; interest rate reduced by 1.5%; annual saving ₹5.1 lakh.
Migration deadlineHardware Trading

Udyam migration deadline of 31-12-2021 deemed non-fatal

Issue: A hardware-trading enterprise held a legacy UAM but missed the migration deadline of 31-12-2021 (later extended to 31-03-2022 by S.O. 5097(E)). Bank threatened to declassify the loan from PSL on the basis that the UAM had lapsed and Udyam migration was overdue. The trader sought urgent regularisation.
Approach: Filed fresh Udyam registration as a new application (since UAM had ceased to be valid). Concurrently approached the bank with the new Udyam URN and a representation citing the RBI Master Direction on PSL which classifies on the basis of any valid MSME registration. Argued continuity of MSME status throughout the financial year.
Outcome: Bank retained PSL classification for FY 2024-25; loan facility continued at MSME-PSL rate; differential interest of ₹3.1 lakh annually preserved; Udyam URN now valid for life.
UAPStreet Vendors

Udyam Assist Platform for informal micro enterprises

Issue: A vegetable wholesaler operating as an informal micro enterprise without PAN, GST or bank account wanted MSME recognition to access the PM SVANidhi scheme. Standard Udyam registration was blocked because PAN was mandatory from 01-04-2021 onwards. The wholesaler needed an alternate registration pathway.
Approach: Used the Udyam Assist Platform (UAP) launched in January 2023 for informal micro enterprises (IMEs) below GST threshold. Filed UAP registration using only Aadhaar OTP; UAP-IME number was issued without PAN/GST. The UAP-IME number was treated as Udyam-equivalent for PSL classification per RBI circular dated 23-03-2023.
Outcome: UAP-IME number issued in same session; bank opened a basic current account; PM SVANidhi loan of ₹50,000 sanctioned at subsidised rate; pathway to formal Udyam registration mapped for FY 2026-27 once turnover crosses ₹10 lakh.

Why these Pothur Thiruverkadu engagements look the way they do: On the ground in Pothur Thiruverkadu, the cluster of residential, retail, small trade businesses that defines Pothur Thiruverkadu's commercial fabric; for the professional and salaried population of Pothur Thiruverkadu navigating personal-tax and home-office GST.

Common Questions

MSME FAQ — Pothur Thiruverkadu

Common questions from Pothur Thiruverkadu clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

Clause (h) of Section 43B was inserted by the Finance Act 2023 effective AY 2024-25. It provides that any sum payable by a buyer to a Micro or Small enterprise beyond the time limit specified in Section 15 of the MSMED Act 2006 is allowed as deduction only in the previous year of actual payment. The proviso permitting deduction on accrual basis if paid before due date of return does NOT apply to Section 43B(h). It applies to Micro and Small only — Medium enterprises are excluded.
Where an enterprise's investment or turnover exceeds the upper limit of its current category, the system reclassifies it upward in the next financial year. By Press Note dated 18-10-2022, an enterprise enjoys a non-tax benefit grace period of three years from the date of upward revision before losing MSE benefits like Section 15 protection. Tax benefits and PSL status follow the actual classification.
Turnaround depends on the service and how quickly you share documents. Once we have a complete set, MSME for Pothur Thiruverkadu clients moves without avoidable delay, and we keep you posted at each stage. We give a realistic timeline upfront rather than an optimistic one.
Under Notification S.O. 2119(E) of 26-06-2020 effective 01-07-2020 — Micro: investment in plant & machinery up to ₹1 crore AND turnover up to ₹5 crore; Small: investment up to ₹10 crore AND turnover up to ₹50 crore; Medium: investment up to ₹50 crore AND turnover up to ₹250 crore. The Union Budget 2025-26 announced an upward revision (Micro ₹2.5cr/₹10cr, Small ₹25cr/₹100cr, Medium ₹125cr/₹500cr) — applicable from the date of the implementing notification.
No. Section 15 of the MSMED Act 2006 caps the agreed payment period at a maximum of 45 days from acceptance, and this is a non-derogable statutory ceiling. Any contract or purchase order specifying a longer credit period (60, 90 or 120 days) is unenforceable to the extent it exceeds 45 days, and Section 16 statutory interest accrues from day 46 regardless of the contractual term.
Yes. Along with Pothur Thiruverkadu, we serve Devi Karumariamman Temple Thiruverkadu and the wider Chennai West belt for MSME / Udyam Registration. Wherever you are in this part of Chennai, the process and our 9566-068-468 line stay the same.
There is no statutory clarity in the bare text of Section 43B(h) on whether the supplier must be Udyam-registered for the disallowance to trigger. The CBDT and ICAI Tax Audit Guidance have taken the position that the protection of Section 15 and consequently the disallowance under Section 43B(h) applies only where the supplier holds a valid Udyam Registration as a Micro or Small enterprise. Buyers should obtain Udyam declarations from suppliers on or before the date of acceptance.
Section 7 of the MSMED Act 2006 read with Notification S.O. 2119(E) prescribes a composite criterion — both investment in plant & machinery AND annual turnover must satisfy the slab. If either parameter exceeds the upper limit, the enterprise is classified in the higher category. Classification regression downwards is not automatic — the enterprise retains its higher status for one year from the close of the year of regression.
The exact list depends on your case, but we send a short, plain-English checklist the moment you engage us — no jargon. Pothur Thiruverkadu clients can share documents as phone photos or scans over WhatsApp on 9566-068-468, and we flag immediately if anything is missing.
Section 18 of the MSMED Act 2006 empowers the MSE Facilitation Council constituted by each State Government under Section 20 to conduct conciliation between the supplier and buyer and, if conciliation fails within 90 days, to either itself take up arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 or refer the dispute to an institution providing alternate dispute resolution. The Council's award is binding under Section 18(4).
Section 43B(h) applies to any buyer (whether MSE or large) where the supplier is a Micro or Small enterprise. However, if the buyer is itself an MSE on cash basis or below the Section 44AB tax audit threshold and not opting into audit, Section 22 disclosure does not apply. Section 15 and Section 16 protections apply regardless of the buyer's size or constitution.
We review MSME work carefully before submission to avoid errors in the first place. If a genuine issue ever arises on something we filed for a Pothur Thiruverkadu client, we help set it right — standing behind our work is part of the service.
Section 23 of the MSMED Act 2006 provides that any interest payable or paid by a buyer under or in accordance with the Act shall not be allowed as a deduction for the purpose of computation of income under the Income-tax Act 1961. Therefore, Section 16 statutory interest paid is permanently disallowed in the buyer's income computation.
The Union Budget 2025-26 announced an upward revision of MSME classification thresholds — Micro: investment ₹2.5 crore / turnover ₹10 crore; Small: ₹25 crore / ₹100 crore; Medium: ₹125 crore / ₹500 crore. The revision is effective from the date of the corresponding amending notification by the Ministry of MSME. Enterprises currently classified should re-validate their status post the notification to claim wider benefits.
Yes. By Office Memorandum dated 02-07-2021 of the Ministry of MSME, retail and wholesale traders were brought within the Udyam framework for the limited purpose of Priority Sector Lending under RBI guidelines. Traders can register on the Udyam portal under NIC codes 45, 46 and 47 and avail PSL benefits, though some other MSME schemes remain restricted to manufacturing and service enterprises.
Section 22 of the MSMED Act 2006 requires every buyer who is required to get its accounts audited under any law to disclose in its annual statements — (a) the principal amount and interest remaining unpaid to any Micro or Small supplier at the year end; (b) the amount of interest paid under Section 16; (c) the amount of payment beyond the appointed day during the year without interest; (d) the amount of accrued interest remaining unpaid; and (e) the amount of further interest remaining due in succeeding years.
