Single Point Registration Scheme

Overview of Ministry of Micro Small & Medium Enterprise Scheme

In 1955, the Indian Government launched the National Small Industries Corporation Limited to foster the growth of small industries in our country. Under this Single Point Registration Scheme (SPRS) for participation in Government Transactions, NSIC registers all Micro & Small Enterprises (MSEs) in India. NSIC registers Micro & Small Enterprises (MSEs) for inclusion in Government Transactions under the Single Point Registration Scheme (SPRS).

Over a period of time, the Government of India has launched various start-up schemes to improve the Indian start-up ecosystem. SPRS was established in 2003 as a start-up scheme managed by the National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC). The various aspects of the Single Point Registration System, qualifications, requirements and application process are discussed in this article.

Micro & Small Businesses Monetary Limits Estimation & Fixation Process.

The company's monetary limit is fixed on the basis of the net revenue turnover of the unit over the last three years, as expressed in the audited balance sheets.

Monetary limits will be set on the basis of the highest turnover in the last three years, which may or may not be last year, given that the installed units have not been reduced and that the operating capacity has not been reduced.

In the absence of a reduction in plants and equipment, 50 % of the highest turnover expressed in the audited balance sheet for the last three years would be the basis for setting the monetary limit.

• If there is a decline of more than 10 % in plants and equipment, the following will be taken into account:
• The Monetary Limit can be set at 50 % of the net sales turnover obtained in the last year if the Enterprise's turnover has consistently risen for the last three years and the unit is continuously in profit.
• If, for one year out of the past three years, the Company/Partnership concern/Proprietorship unit is at a loss, its monetary limit will be set at 40 % of its average net sales turnover.
• Similarly, if out of the last three years, the Micro & Small Company is at a loss for two years, the monetary limit will be set accordingly at 30 % of the total net sales turnover of the past three years.
• If Micro & Small Business is at a loss over the past three years, the unit's monetary limit will be set at 20% of the unit's total net sales turnover over the past three years.
