With an aim to boost India’s MSME sector, Finance Ministry has set up a committee to examine financial architecture for the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector. The committee consists of 15 members including joint secretary of Institutional Finance and is headed by ICICI Bank Chairman K V Kamath.
The MSME sector accounts for around 45 per cent of the manufacturing output and 40 per cent in the country's total exports. The MSME sector also contributes 8 per cent to India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provides jobs to 60 million people in different segments such as readymade garments, leather, gems and jewellery, light engineering and handicrafts.
In other development, the government has also proposed amendments to the MSME Act to enable time-bound exit and revival of loss-making units to help them consolidate their businesses and re-deploy capital in other greenfield ventures. The government has sought comments from the states and UTs on proposed amendments to the MSME Act with a view to formulate a suitable policy for the sector. Revival clause of proposed act seeks early assistance to tide over difficult financial times and provide a framework where a viable MSME can seek standard as well as customised relief and concession to revive. On the other hand, time-bound exit clause to provide an easier and expeditious exit procedure for the benefit of promoters and guarantors through liquidation and change in management.
