  3. INTERODUCTION Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, introduced as part of India's tax reform efforts, plays a significant role in shaping the financial landscape for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs). This provision is particularly relevant for businesses that operate under tight cash flows and depend heavily on timely payments from clients.

  5. HERE ARE THE PRIMARY EFFECTS OF SECTION 43B(H) ON MSME: 1. FOCUS ON TIMELY PAYMENTS Section 43B(h) mandates that payments to micro and small enterprises (as defined under the MSME Development Act, 2006) for goods and services must be made within the specified time period agreed upon in the contract or within 45 days from the date of acceptance of goods or services. Failure to make these payments within the stipulated period disallows the deduction of the expense when calculating the payer’s taxable income.

  6. 2. IMPROVED CASH FLOW FOR MSES Delayed payments from buyers often compound the liquidity challenges faced by MSEs. Section 43B(h) enforces a strong compliance measure that motivates companies to pay their MSE vendors on time. With improved cash flow, MSEs can focus on growth activities such as increasing production capacity, upgrading technology, and expanding their market reach. Impact on MSEs: With regular and timely cash inflows, MSEs experience enhanced financial stability. They are better positioned to meet their operational costs, avoid debt burdens, and have more predictability in their financial planning. This allows MSEs to invest in innovation, workforce training, and other critical areas that enhance competitiveness.

  7. 3. Reduction in Dependence on External Financing A key challenge for many MSEs is dependence on external financing due to delayed payments. The inability to receive payments on time often leads to borrowing at high-interest rates, which increases financial costs and limits growth opportunities. Impact on MSEs: By enforcing stricter payment timelines, Section 43B(h) reduces the need for MSEs to rely on costly external financing options like loans and overdrafts to manage their cash flow needs. This results in a lower financial burden and helps MSEs maintain healthier balance sheets. Note: You can also Apply for Udyam Registration

  8. 4. DISPUTE RESOLUTION MECHANISM Since Section 43B(h) clearly mandates the payment timelines to MSEs, it reduces the scope for disputes between the enterprises and their clients regarding delays. This provision encourages transparency in business transactions and promotes accountability on the part of larger companies. Impact on MSEs: The clarity in payment terms helps in quicker resolution of payment disputes. MSEs gain bargaining power since non-compliance by their clients can have tax consequences for the latter. This level of protection enhances trust in business dealings, encouraging MSEs to engage more confidently with larger companies.

  9. CONCLUSION Section 43B(h) provides a crucial safeguard for Micro and Small Enterprises by ensuring timely payments from clients, which directly improves their financial health and operational efficiency. It reduces their dependence on external financing, improves cash flow management, and enhances transparency in business practices. By fostering a more supportive financial environment, this provision contributes to the growth and sustainability of MSEs, which form the backbone of the Indian economy. However, it also places an increased compliance burden on their buyers, which might have indirect implications for how MSEs are perceived in contract negotiations. Overall, the provision enhances the financial ecosystem for MSEs and provides them with more stability and confidence to grow.
