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.
Government, PSU and institutional supply in Delhi
Delhi’s wholesale markets in Chandni Chowk, Gandhi Nagar, Okhla and Bawana run on long informal credit, and a large share of suppliers also sell to government departments and PSUs where payments stall in paperwork. Delhi’s dedicated Section 138 courts move faster than most, and MSME Samadhaan applies fully to government buyers.
Bills pass through inspection, measurement, sanction and audit; delays come from paperwork, budget releases and staff changes rather than refusal.
Proof to collect
Typically supply or work order, inspection and acceptance certificates, GeM or portal records, bills submitted with acknowledgement, and correspondence about pending sanctions.
- Avoid: bills submitted without taking a receipt
- Avoid: inspection certificates not collected
- Avoid: accepting verbal assurances across financial years
- Avoid: not registering on Udyam before supplying
