The central government should help MSMEs to purchase the smart office software they need.
Software is essential for checking income, expenses, calculating taxes, handling invoices, tenders, details.
A scheme should be started to provide office computer and other electronic equipment at subsidized rates to entrepreneurs doing e-commerce activities.
The central govt should regulate non-bank financial service providers. Extortionate interest rates plague MSMEs.
The state government's electricity department also follows the practice of peak hour charging to discourage MSMEs, which is daylight robbery.
The regulations of the state govts are burdensome for the MSMEs, so the central government should create a separate cabinet for MSMEs.
When a separate ministry is set up, law, justice, finance, infrastructure development, education, regulations and digital related matters can be given separate focus for this sector.

FARMER PRODUCER ORGANIZATION should also be included in the list of MSME. Co-operative production should be encouraged. MSMEs should also be encouraged to jointly offer a product or service.
This will help industries in an area to thrive.
Steps taken by the central government to increase FARMER PRODUCER ORGANIZATION (FAP) are welcome, but the steps taken by the state governments are not good. Co-operative and private affiliates like FARMER PRODUCER ORGANIZATION should be formed in all sectors.Many leading textile companies have joined forces to create a brand in Tirupur.
Its sales have also been good. Many MSME companies should jointly produce and sell common brands and make way in the laws.

Bringing MSMEs in Industrial Disputes & Settlement Acts is welcome. Settlement should be reached within 30 days in District or Zonal Tribunals.
Settlements must be reached within the payment term.
Agriculture-related MSMEs may be allowed to enter into agricultural contracts.
