What is SSI/MSME Registration?

Small scale industries play a vital role in the socio-economic development of India. To promote and encourage these small-scale industries, the government of the country created the MSMED Act. The Act was created to maintain a list of all the industries registered as MSME or SSI. The record aided in providing support and incentives to these firms. Furthermore, SSI helped in employment of people at little capital investments.

The MSMED Act includes:

  • Small Scale Industries (SSI)
  • Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME)
  • Different sectors have different limits for registering under the act.
  • A manufacturing enterprise with plants and machinery that required an investment of below 10 Crores can be an MSME.
  • For service enterprises, the amount caps at five crores.
  • If the company exceeds the upper limit, at any point in the future, it is not considered as an MSME.

To avail the numerous benefits from the Government of India, an SSI registration certificate is needed. It is an optional registration but the companies that get registered are eligible for:

  • Lesser interest rates
  • Excise exemption scheme
  • Subsidies in tax, capital investment and power tariff
  • Other support
All the fields are monidatory.

For a registration, total plant and machinery cost should be up to Rs. 25 crore for manufacturing units and Rs. 10 crore for service units. While calculating this number, the value of land and building will not be counted toward the total investment. Also, the original cost of the equipment and plant and machinery is taken into account. Depreciation cannot be factored in.

All banks and other financial institutions recognise MSMEs and have created special schemes for them. This usually includes priority sector lending, which means that the likelihood of your business being sanctioned a loan is high. Bank loan interest rates will also be lower. There may also be preferential treatment in case of delay in repayment.
