In India, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) face many challenges in continuing their operations and business expansions. These MSMEs have a tough time getting credit or loans from banks and financial institutions. As a result, many MSMEs are forced to discontinue their operations despite employing nearly 100 million people and contributing significantly to the country's GDP.
The Government of India proposed the 2020 to help MSMEs overcome this problem. According to this scheme, all MSMEs should register as MSMEs as soon as they are established to qualify for some attractive benefits offered by the Government.
