New 45-day MSME payment rule and its impact on retailers

As of April 1, a new regulation mandates that companies must settle payments with MSMEs within 45 days, or face tax liabilities on overdue amounts. This change, introduced under Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act, aims to ensure timely payments to MSMEs, affecting how retailers manage their supplier relationships and cash flow.

What can you do?

Assess your current payment schedules and adjust them to comply with the 45-day requirement. This will help you avoid potential tax liabilities.

Engage with your MSME suppliers to discuss the new payment terms and explore mutually beneficial arrangements to maintain smooth operations.

Consider revising your cash flow management practices to accommodate quicker payments, ensuring you have the liquidity needed to meet these new obligations.

If the new rule significantly impacts your operations, consider diversifying your supplier base, including non-MSME options, to retain flexibility in your payment terms.
