MSME Samadhaan / MSEFC Filing
When a buyer holds back payment beyond the statutory limit, a micro or small supplier can file a reference with the state Facilitation Council. New cases now go through the MSME ODR portal; MSME Samadhaan handles cases filed earlier. We prepare the claim, compute the statutory interest and represent you through conciliation.
How a case moves
- 1
Eligibility and claim review
Confirm Udyam status (manufacturing or service, micro or small) at the time of supply, the agreed credit period and the acceptance date for each invoice.
- 2
Interest computation
Principal plus compound interest with monthly rests at three times the RBI bank rate from the due date, invoice by invoice.
- 3
Filing
Online filing with invoices, proof of delivery and acceptance, ledger statements and correspondence. The system attempts online negotiation first.
- 4
Conciliation
If unresolved, the MSEFC takes up conciliation between the parties.
- 5
Arbitration and award
Failing settlement, the Council arbitrates. The Act expects a reference to be decided within 90 days. A buyer who appeals must deposit 75% of the award.
Documents to keep ready
- Udyam registration certificate.
- Purchase orders or contracts showing agreed payment terms.
- Invoices, e-way bills or delivery challans, and proof of acceptance.
- Ledger extract or statement of account, and any confirmation of balance.
- Reminders, emails and other correspondence with the buyer.
Many disputes settle once the buyer sees a properly computed statutory interest claim and understands the tax disallowance under Section 43B(h). Filing is often the start of a negotiation rather than the end of a relationship.
