employment toaround 100 million people. Out of this,
micro enterprises are around 90%, small enterprises
are around 9% while the number of medium enterprises
is less than 1%. Inspite of having the potential and
inherent capabilities to grow, MSMEs in India have
been facing a number of problems like sub-optimal
scale of operations, technological obsolescence,
supply chain inefficiencies, increasing domestic
and global competition, fund shortages, change in
manufacturing strategies and turbulent and uncertain
market scenario. To survive in such a scenario and
compete with large and global enterprises, MSMEs
need to be supported and assisted to ensure sustained
growth and development in the existing competitive
arena. It is understood that the cost of compliance
