The MSMED Act applies in full to government and PSU buyers: a Udyam-registered supplier can file MSME Samadhaan and claim statutory interest, and councils routinely decide against departments. A notice citing the Act, plus a reminder of Section 43B(h) and GeM payment rules where relevant, usually moves the file; the Council hearing follows if not.
How dues arise in government, psu and institutional supply
Bills pass through inspection, measurement, sanction and audit; delays come from paperwork, budget releases and staff changes rather than refusal.
Proof that wins
The claim is built from supply or work order, inspection and acceptance certificates, GeM or portal records, bills submitted with acknowledgement, and correspondence about pending sanctions. The buyer’s own replies (“will pay next week”) are admissions; part-payments and signed ledger confirmations restart the three-year limitation period.
Mistakes that weaken a claim
- Bills submitted without taking a receipt
- Inspection certificates not collected
- Accepting verbal assurances across financial years
- Not registering on Udyam before supplying
