(b): The Government is conscious of the problems being faced by MSMEs in availing loan facilities under various schemes of the Ministry. The micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) face constraints in accessing credit facilities from institutional sources which include inadequate and timely credit, high cost of credit, collateral requirements, etc. MSMEs do have the disadvantage of being perceived as high risk category by Banks.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued detailed guidelines to all scheduled commercial banks on lending to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector which, inter alia, provide for a time frame for disposal of loan applications, loan limit for dispensing the collateral requirement and sub-targets for micro enterprises within the MSE lending. In terms of the recommendations of the Task Force on MSMEs under the chairmanship of the Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister, the RBI has advised the banks, inter alia, to achieve a 20 per cent year-on-year growth in credit to micro and small enterprises. Further, the Government is implementing schemes like Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP), Credit Guarantee Scheme, etc., throughout the country (including North-Eastern Region), and for all segments of the people including vulnerable sections like SCs/STs, women to facilitate enhanced flow of credit to the MSME sector, especially for micro and small enterprises
(c) & (d) The Ministry has not, so far, received any concrete, actionable request for simplification and rationalization of inspection and regulations of the MSMEs from the Confederation of Indian Industry. Many of the issues of the MSME sector are under the jurisdiction of the State Governments and other Central Government Ministries. Hence, such a comprehensive exercise would have to take into account the concerns of all stakeholders and authorities.
(e): All the promotional activities undertaken by the Ministry of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Govt. of India are in pursuance of the MSME Development Act, 2006. All the schemes of the Ministry of MSME are geared towards promotion, development and enhancement of competitiveness of MSME engaged in manufacturing and services. List of the major such schemes of the Ministry {including those of Office of Development Commissioner (MSME)} is given as Annexure-III.
For implementing various schemes for the development of MSMEs, Government allocated Rs. 2600.00 Crore, Rs. 2500.00 Crore and Rs. 2620.00 Crore for 2013-14 (RE), 2014-15 (RE) and 2015-16( RE), respectively. Plan Outlay for the year 2016-17 (BE) is Rs. 3000.00 Crore.
