The blog discusses the recent amendment to Section 43B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, focusing on Clause (H), which mandates timely payments to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) within 45 days. It emphasizes the importance of prompt payments for MSMEs' financial health, outlines the impacts of non-compliance, and offers best practices for businesses, including robust payment processes and engagement with tax experts. Antraweb Technologies Pvt. Ltd.'s MSME module is introduced as a solution to facilitate compliance with Clause 43B(H).
