The levers that move large buyers
- MSMED Act interest. Three times the RBI bank rate, compounded, on every day beyond 45 days. Corporate finance teams know this number.
- Section 43B(h). Since FY 2023-24, a buyer cannot deduct an expense owed to a micro or small supplier unless it is paid within the MSMED time limit. Their auditors ask about it.
- MSME-1 disclosure. Companies must report outstanding MSME dues to the Registrar of Companies every half-year; unpaid dues are a compliance problem for them.
- A notice to the right people. Addressed to the company secretary, CFO and the registered office, not just the purchase manager.
- Facilitation Council and courts. PSUs and listed companies appear before Councils like anyone else.
Recovering B2B dues in Erode: what is specific here
Erode’s power-loom and handloom cloth, turmeric and agri-commodity trade runs on long credit and trust, with buyers across Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Written proof of delivery and acceptance is what makes these dues recoverable; a notice and a summary suit on the invoices is the usual path for traders.
Main industries: textiles and handlooms, turmeric and agri-trading, power looms, leather and food processing.
Courts: Judicial Magistrate courts, Erode, for Section 138; District Court, Erode, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers in Erode file on MSME Samadhaan, heard by the Tamil Nadu Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council (Commissionerate of Industries and Commerce (MSME Department), Government of Tamil Nadu, Chennai). The Council sits where the supplier is, so a Erode supplier can pursue a buyer in another state from home.
