GST MSME Sector Booklet PDF

Understanding the GST and its impact on the MSME sector is very important for every entrepreneur. According to the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act, 2006, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are classified based on their annual revenue, or sales. The Union Cabinet has defined the categories as follows: A Micro Enterprise is one whose annual turnover does not exceed ₹ 5 Crore, a Small Enterprise’s annual turnover exceeds ₹ 5 Crore but does not exceed ₹ 75 Crore, while a Medium Enterprise has an annual turnover that exceeds ₹ 75 Crore but does not exceed ₹ 250 Crore.

Contribution of the MSME Sector

The MSME sector plays a vital role in boosting our national economy. It is not only the largest source of employment but also a hub for entrepreneurship and skills development. In fact, there are over 30 million MSMEs in India, providing jobs to around 100 million people.

GST Benefits for Small and Medium Enterprises

With the introduction of GST, Small and Medium Enterprises have received several benefits that ease their compliance burdens. These include threshold exemptions, Composition levy schemes, and the option for Quarterly filing of GST returns. These measures ensure that MSMEs remain competitive while also enjoying the advantages of GST like uninterrupted Input Tax Credit (ITC) throughout the supply chain.
