MSME Samadhaan Procedure: Filing an Application

Under the MSME Samadhaan scheme or MSME Samadhaan Procedure, an MSME can file
an application to claim unpaid dues against a buyer who is either a company or a limited
liability partnership firm.

The application can be filed by the MSME if the payment is overdue for more than 45 days
from the date of acceptance or the deemed date of acceptance of goods or services as per the
agreement between the parties.

The application can also be filed for disputes arising from the supply of goods or services to
the buyer.

The application for MSME Samadhaan can be filed online through the MSME Samadhaan
portal or offline by submitting a physical application to the concerned authority. The portal
provides a user-friendly interface for filing the application and tracking its status.

The application must include the details of the MSME, such as name, address, contact details,
PAN number, GSTIN number, and bank account details. It should also include the details of
the buyer, such as name, address, contact details, PAN number, and GSTIN number. The
application should mention the amount due to the MSME and the date from which the
payment was due.

MSME Samadhaan Procedure: Supporting Documents


The application must be accompanied by relevant documents supporting the claim, such as
purchase orders, invoices, delivery challans, and any other document as required by the
authority.

The application should also include a declaration stating that the information provided in the
application is true and correct to the best of the applicant’s knowledge.

MSME Samadhaan Procedure: Notice to the buyer


The concerned authority will issue a notice to the buyer within two days of receiving the
application.

The notice will mention the details of the application and direct the buyer to file a reply
within fifteen days from the date of receipt of the notice. The reply should include the reasons
for non-payment or the dispute, along with supporting documents.

MSME Samadhaan Procedure: Dispute Resolution


If the buyer fails to file a reply within the specified time or does not respond, the authority
starts conciliation proceeding and if conciliation proceedings fails an arbitration proceeding.

The matter is adjudicated in arbitration proceedings and award is passed accordingly.


In some states authorities follows the following procedure:

when buyer fails to respond, the authority pass an ex-parte order in favor of the MSME.
However, if the buyer files a reply, the authority will hear both parties and pass an
appropriate order within sixty days from the date of receipt of the application.

The order passed by the authority is final and binding on both parties. If the buyer fails to
comply with the order, the authority may issue a certificate of recovery to the district
collector, who shall recover the amount due as arrears of land revenue.
