The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (“M/o MSME”) vide notification 4845(E) has amended notification numbers S.O. 5621(E), dated the 2nd November, 2018 and S.O. 5622(E), dated the 2nd November, 2018.

Prior to the notification, M/o MSME vide notification SO 5621(E) dated 02.11.2018 had mandated that all companies registered with the Companies Act, 2013 with a turnover of more than 500 crore (rupees five hundred crore) and all Central Public Sector Enterprises (“CPSEs”) shall be required to get themselves onboarded on the Trade Receivables Discounting System platform (“TReDS”), set up as per the notification of the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”).

The Registrar of Companies in each State was authorised to monitor the above compliance by companies under its jurisdiction and the Department of Public Enterprises, Government of India was authorised to monitor the compliance of such instructions by CPSEs.

Now, as per the latest notification published by M/o MSME, all companies registered under the Companies Act, 2013 with a turnover of more than INR 250 crore (Rupees Two Hundred and Fifty Crore) and all CPSEs shall be required to get themselves onboarded on the TReDS platform set up as per the notification of the RBI.

The registration of such companies and institutions on TReDS Platforms benefits the MSMEs suppliers in various way such as:

• securing financial assistance digitally at competitive terms and without any collateral security, based on the invoices / bills for supplies to large corporates;
• decreased dependency on traditional methods of financing.
• improves the liquidity for MSMEs resulting in improved cashflow management;
• reduced waiting times for payment realization;
