Navigating the New Compliance Landscape:
The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Development Act (MSMED Act), 2006, has long been a cornerstone of India’s growth, empowering the nation’s MSMEs. But recent updates have made compliance more crucial than ever. The introduction of Section 43B(h) in the Finance Act 2023 mandates businesses to settle payments to MSMEs within 45 days. Delays could mean that interest and overdue payments will not be tax-deductible, significantly impacting your bottom line if you rely on MSME suppliers. This is where Figment’s Udyam Registration API steps in, providing a seamless, automated solution for MSME verification.
The Compliance Challenge: Identifying MSMEs Efficiently
For enterprises and auditors, validating the MSME status of a large network of vendors is an overwhelming task, especially with data points spread across PAN, GSTIN, or CIN records. Manual checks are resource-intensive, error-prone, and can lead to compliance risks, particularly with the new regulations. This is where Figment’s Udyam Registration Verification API comes in.
