What Is The Impact Of Change In MSME Definition?

The industry was waiting for definition change in MSME for quite a long time. As there was fear among MSME that if they grow in terms of number, they might lose the title of being MSME and lose benefits of Government provided for MSME. So it is great news for the MSME sector which is one of the most important sectors in the Indian Economy.

MSME will no longer have to worry that growing in number might make them ineligible to avail MSME benefits. Earlier there was classification between service industries and manufacturing industry, now it has been removed- both will be the same. Earlier, the MSMEs were defined on the basis of investments they put, now the revised definitions will also include turnover of the company, this will be notified once changes in the law are made.

Let’s See What Exactly The Change In MSME Definition Is:

 Micro Units
