🚨 MAJOR UPDATE FOR INDIAN MSMEs & ENTREPRENEURS! 🚨
Parliament has passed the MSME Development (Amendment) Bill, 2026 — bringing landmark reforms to protect cash flows, speed up dispute resolution, and decriminalize compliance!
📌 Top 5 Game-Changing Highlights:
✅ Mandatory TReDS Payments: All CPSEs must settle MSME procurement invoices via RBI-regulated TReDS portals — ending delayed payment traps!
✅ 90-Day Dispute Deadlines: Strict timelines for MSEFC resolution: 90 days for Mediation & 90 days for Arbitration Awards.
✅ 50% Payout Protection: If a buyer drags an arbitration award to court for >6 months, the court can order an immediate 50% release of the awarded amount to the supplier!
✅ Decriminalized Compliance: No more jail risk for minor technical/reporting errors. Replaced with official warnings & civil penalties.
✅ Growth-Friendly Thresholds: R&D, pollution control, and safety equipment costs are now excluded from investment caps!
