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 Tiruppur: what is specific here
Tiruppur is India’s knitwear capital, with thousands of job-workers, dyers and garment units billing exporters and domestic brands. Domestic dues between units are mostly micro and small enterprises on both sides, so the MSME Act’s 45-day rule and Samadhaan apply; overseas buyer dues need a different approach.
Main industries: knitwear and garment exports, dyeing and processing, textile machinery, packaging and logistics.
Courts: Judicial Magistrate courts, Tiruppur, for Section 138; District Court, Tiruppur, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers in Tiruppur 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 Tiruppur supplier can pursue a buyer in another state from home.
