Post Budget Quote by Mamta Binani, President of MSME Development Forum – West Bengal
Kolkata, 1st February, 2023: CS (Dr.) Adv. Mamta Binani, Past President ICSI & President of MSME Development Forum WB said, “MSMEs are the development catalysts for the Indian economy, and the government did a great job with this budget in not only extending all forms of support and protection to the MSMEs but also encouraging further scaling of businesses. The setting up of Entity DigiLocker, launching of a new sub-scheme of PM Matsya Sampada Yojana with a targeted investment of Rs. 6,000 crores, and facilitating e-commerce for MSMEs is worth lauding. The redesigned program, which will go into effect on April 1, 2023, thanks to an injection of Rs. 9,000 crores into the corpus, was the major feature. This will provide for an extra Rs. 2 lakh crore of collateral-free guaranteed loans. Additionally, there will be a 1% reduction in the cost of the credit. Through these policies and schemes, the MSMEs will not only contribute to “Make in India” but also to “Make for the World” as envisaged.”
