Understanding MSME FORM 1

Nikhil6816 Aug, 2025Business

In today’s compliance-driven environment, MSME Form 1 ensures timely payments and transparency for Micro and Small Enterprises by mandating half-yearly disclosure of dues pending beyond 45 days. Notified under Section 405 of the Companies Act, 2013, it applies to all companies dealing with Udyam-registered micro and small vendors. The filing helps track payment discipline, boosts MSME liquidity, and strengthens vendor trust—impacting ESG ratings, due diligence, IPO readiness, and credit evaluations. Non-filing can attract hefty penalties and damage credibility. SKMC Global assists businesses with vendor identification, accurate data compilation, timely MCA filings, and end-to-end compliance to avoid penalties while reinforcing ethical trade practices.
