INTEREST SUBVENTION SCHEME TO FORMALIZE MSMES AND FACILITATE GROWTH

Being majority of MSMEs are unorganized and cash-dependent, this sector witnessed the impact of Note-ban (demonetization) and roll out of Goods and Service Tax (GST). The biggest challenge is that formalization of sector, according to an estimate, 90 per cent of the MSME sector falls in the unorganized sector, not a tech-savvy, making it difficult for schemes and programmes.

Despite a slew of measures such as 'Make in India', 'Skill India', 'Digital India', 'Start-Up India' etc. taken by Govt. along with various incentives for the sector, may find it difficult to outreach unregistered MSMEs.

Considering,

1) Access to credit,

2) Access to market,

3) Technology upgradation,

4) Ease of doing business, and

5) A sense of security for employees as five key aspects for facilitating MSME sector. Govt. made twelve announcements to address each of these five categories.

Twelve initiatives taken by GOI on 02nd November 2018:
