MSMEs gain boost from Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan economic package for lockdown

Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his recent public address announced the Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan economic package that is aimed at boosting the national economy by infusing liquidity and promoting local manufacturing. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman discussed the first instalment of the ₹20 lakh crore package with a focus on the MSME sector.

Stating that the package rests on the five pillars of Economy, Infrastructure, Technology-driven systems, Demography, and Demand, the Finance Minister added that the focus will be on the factors of production, i.e., Land, Labour, Liquidity, and Laws.

The major steps announced for the revival of MSMEs are as follows:

• Collateral-free loan of ₹3 lakh crores for MSMEs will aid 45 lakh MSME units so that they can resume operations and protect jobs.

• Subordinate debt provision of ₹20,000 crores will benefit 2 lakh MSMEs that are NPAs or stressed assets.

• Under the new definition of MSMEs (Micro units with investment till ₹1 crore and turnover up to ₹5 crores; Small units with investment till ₹10 crores and turnover up to ₹50 crores; and Medium units with investment till ₹20 crores and turnover up to ₹100 crores), MSMEs can work on expansion without losing benefits. There will also be no distinction between manufacturing and service sector MSMEs.

• Equity of ₹50,000 crore will be infused through Mother fund-Daughter fund for MSMEs that are viable but need aid. A fund of funds with a corpus of ₹10,000 crore will be set up to help such MSMEs increase capacity and be listed on markets if they choose.

• E-market linkages will be provided across the board in the absence of non-participation in trade fairs due to COVID-19. The government of India and PSUs will clear all receivables in the next 45 days.

• To infuse ₹6,750 crore liquidity into organisations, the statutory EPF contribution for all organisations and their employees covered by EPFO has been brought down to 10 percent from the earlier 12 percent. This is not applicable to government organisations.

• Up to 6 months extension (without costs to contractor) will be provided by all Central Government Agencies like Railways, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, and Central Public Works Dept.

• Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Tax Collection at Sources (TCS) will be reduced by 25 percent of existing rates till 31st March 2021, which will release ₹50,000 crores.

• Due date of all Income Tax Return filings is extended from 31st July to 30th November, and Vivaad se Vishwas scheme has been extended till 31st December 2020. Date of assessments getting barred as on 30th September 2020 is extended to 31st December 2020, and date of assessments getting barred as on March 31, 2021 is extended to 30th September 2021.

• As Indian MSMEs and other companies have often faced unfair competition from foreign players, global tenders will be disallowed in government procurement tenders up to ₹200 crore.

Pencil : By Mikhail Gorbachev

Mikhail Gorbachev has written this in his autobiography...   In his younger days, while studying in Europe... He used to study along with two Japanese students. 2nd World War had come to an end & Japan  had not only been completely destroyed, but was facing crippling economic sanctions  as well.During the classes, these 2 Japanese students used to take turns to write the notes, while the other student would mend the pencil & keep it ready for use, bcoz in those days, the Japanese pencils used to be of inferior quality & the lead tip of the pencil used to be very brittle, & thus used to break frequently.*   *Fellow students advised, why not they start using the far superior pencils  made in England, which were not expensive either anyways.   There were tears in the eyes of both the Japanese students. "If we ourselves do no purchase & use our own product, then who else will do it. We don't deny we cannot withstand the quality test today, but the

# VOCAL_FOR_LOCAL                                                             If tomorrow China captured India , it would be our own fault. B ritishers had also salved India by the means of trade, although that time we were illiterate but now we are all educated and intelligent enough to see forward our Country’s growth and development.   VOCAL FOR LOCAL   a great strategy by our PM . If we all Indians, just for 90 days don’t go for any foreign made products and buy locally made products then, INDIA can become world’s second richest country, Just in 90 days value of 1 Dollar($) will equalise to Indian 2 Rupees (₹) .   If we Indians spread this message and follow the motto of VOCAL FOR LOCAL ,it will become a movement just like we did last year on Diwali for non buying Chinese lightings and China had to face a great loss , dumping 20% of its over all production and China was astonished.   We Indians if boycott Chinese or any foreign made product then it will prove to be

Now, the need is that we make those products that are made in India , but made for the world. We have to cut our imports. India must not be depe

"Go, go and Come, come" : Self-Reliance Story

Image
  Two brothers involved in litigation appeared before a Magistrate. One of them was a millionaire, the other a pauper. The Magistrate asked the millionaire how it was that he became so rich and his brother so poor. He said: “Five years ago we inherited equal property from our parents. Fifty thousand dollars fell to his share and fifty thousand dollars to me. This man, regarding himself as wealthy, became lazy, and whatever work was to be done he entrusted to his servants. If he received a letter, he would give it to his servants and say, 'Go, attend to this business.' Anything that was to be accomplished he told his servants to do. He lolled away his time in ease and comfort. 'Eat, drink, and be merry.' He would always bid his servants, 'Go, go' attend to this business or that." Speaking of himself the rich man said: "When I got my fifty thousand dollars, I never committed my work to anybody; when anything was to be none, I would always run to do it
