Tier-1 and OEM buyers are exactly whom the MSMED Act targets: payment beyond 45 days attracts compound interest at three times the bank rate, and the Facilitation Council has jurisdiction where the supplier is. A notice citing Section 15 and 16 of the Act often gets the portal unblocked; Samadhaan follows if not.
Auto components and ancillaries in Rajkot
Rajkot’s engineering units supply castings, auto parts, bearings and machine tools to OEMs and dealers nationwide, usually against purchase orders with delivery challans. That paperwork is what a strong notice or MSME Samadhaan claim needs, and small manufacturers here can have the case heard in Gujarat even when the buyer is in another state.
Scheduled deliveries against open POs, vendor portals, 60 to 120 day terms, bill discounting and frequent debit notes for PPM rejections.
Proof to collect
Typically schedules and POs, ASN and GRN records, portal acknowledgements, quality reports and the vendor agreement.
- Avoid: portal-based acceptance with no paper trail saved
- Avoid: debit notes accepted silently
- Avoid: price revisions agreed verbally
- Avoid: fear of losing the business, which lets dues age past a year
