Delayed payments · MSMED Act

Buyer holding your payment for months?

If you're a micro or small business registered on Udyam, the law says your buyer must pay within 45 days. After that, they owe you interest.

Takes 30 seconds · Only Arjun calls you. No agents.

Does this sound familiar?

Why it happens, and what the law says

Small suppliers get paid last, because buyers expect them to wait.

  1. Under the MSMED Act, a buyer must pay a micro or small supplier within the agreed time, and never later than 45 days.
  2. After that, the buyer owes compound interest at three times the bank rate notified by the RBI.
  3. You can file a delayed-payment case on the government's MSME Samadhaan portal. The council can order the buyer to pay, with interest.
If nothing changes
  • Your cash stays stuck while you pay your own staff and suppliers on time.
  • You borrow to fill the gap, and pay interest on someone else's delay.
  • The interest the law says you're owed is never claimed.
