THE MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES DEVELOPMENT (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2018 • To change the classification based on turnover • To empower Central Government to vary, the turnover limits, by notification which shall not exceed thrice the limits specified in section 7(1) for the purpose of development of micro, small and medium enterprises.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS- for change in basis of classification criteria • Over a period of time, it has been felt necessary to change the criteria for the classification in order to align it with the need of current times and changing business ecosystem. • In the course of consultation with various stakeholders, it has been noted that the criterion of investment in plant and machinery or equipment entails physical verification having associated transaction costs. It also incentivises the tendency in the promoters of the enterprises to keep the investment size small in a particular business entity in order to retain the benefits associated with micro or small enterprises category. • While evaluating various alternatives, it has been considered appropriate that if the annual turnover is taken as a criterion for classification, the information available with goods and services tax network and other sources can be used for determination of the category of the enterprises. • Overall, the turnover based classification will promote the ease of doing business and will put in place a non-discretionary, transparent and objective classification system.
New proposed classification (i) a micro enterprise, where the annual turnover does not exceed ₹ 5 crore (ii) a small enterprise, where the annual turnover is more than ₹ 5 crore but does not exceed ₹ 75 crore ; (iii) a medium enterprise, where the annual turnover is more than ₹ 75 crore but does not exceed ₹250 crore .
Benefits of the proposed new change in Bill • Uniformity of Classification – same basis for manufacturing as well as service • Power of the government to change limits- section 7 will empower government change the turnover limit • Expansion of the MSME Definition- more enterprise will be covered as increased investments will no longer remove them from the MSME category. • Boost to Modernisation- The ease of industries to freely invest, without being removed from the MSME category, will be a boost to modernization of many small enterprises • Ease in Classification- Instead of the previous system of physical verification of transaction costs, in the new classification based on annual turnover of enterprise can be obtained easily and increases the transparency and accountability in the classification process. • Long-term Planning- bill has a built in mechanism for increasing the limits for annual turnover, thereby allowing the government to allow more industries to be included within the scope of the Act, without the need for a long-drawn amendment process.
Shortcomings of the Bill • Enterprise having small investments but high turnover shall be Excluded from SME and their benefits available for Public Procurement Policies may be withdrawn. • Employment-based classification not considered
