Emergency credit line guarantee scheme helps save at least 14.6 lakh MSMEs: SBI report

24 Jan 2023 Evaluate

State Bank of India (SBI) Research in its latest report said that the emergency credit line guarantee scheme (ECLGS), launched during Covid to help small businesses tide over losses due to lockdowns, has helped save at least 14.6 lakh Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) which benefited from Rs 2.2 lakh crore in additional credit. This additional credit flow has saved around 12 per cent of the outstanding MSME credit from slipping into NPAs. In terms of people, it saved the livelihood of at least 6.6 crore people. 

The report also noted that there is evidence of MSME units becoming larger with several units crossing the threshold of Rs 250-crore turnover and turning into mid-sized corporates by the new definition of MSME units. With the change in MSME definition, in 2020 the government mandated all the MSMEs to register under the Udyam portal, which according to the report, is the way forward for the sector. A total of 1.33 crore MSMEs have Udyam certification now. As against this, the number of GST registration is only 1.40 crore.

The government recently launched Udyam assist platform, developed by Sidbi (Small Industries Development Bank of India), to bring all the informal micro enterprises into the formal ambit, which constitute around 99 per cent of MSMEs. According to the report, the Udyam portal could potentially result in an MSME revolution and their entry into the ambit of formal credit mechanism and can result in around 50 million such micro units. Besides, states like Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra could benefit with 2.6 crore registrations of such micro units. The country has around 64 million MSMEs as against 140 million in China.
