SESSION 1<\/p>\n

REDUCING THE COST OF LITIGATION FOR MSMES<\/p>\n

PANELISTS<\/span><\/p>\n

Avnit Arora, Director, Department of Legal Affairs, Ministry of Law and Justice<\/p>\n

Kirti Uppal, Senior Advocate<\/p>\n

Dr. Prem Chand, Assistant Professor of Law, National Law University, Delhi<\/p>\n

Vinod Kumar, President, India SME Forum<\/p>\n

Purti Gupta, Advocate-On-Record, Supreme Court of India<\/p>\n

MODERATOR<\/p>\n

Radhika Bishwajit Dubey, Central Government Standing Counsel<\/p>\n

Concerning the question that what legislative changes can be made to minimise the litigation cost for MSME and how mediation can be helpful, Avnit Arora Director, Department of Legal Affairs, MoL&J<\/span> gave the background of how dispute resolution works for MSMEs. He said that now the mediation process by MSME is also bound to be governed by Mediation Act, 2023<\/a>. He emphasized that the Mediation Act, 2023<\/a> provides for a statutory period for completion of mediation, and the cost of mediation has to be specified by the Mediation Council of India. He suggested that the MCI can propose a lower cost of mediation for MSMEs.<\/p>\n

He said now the time and the manner for conducting mediation is now structured in a formal manner which was not there in conciliation.<\/p>\n

Radhika Bishwajit Dubey, CGSC<\/span>, added that training and the awareness of the stakeholders and having trained mediators who understand the problems of the sector is very important.<\/p>\n

On the question regarding challenges of Sections 34<\/a> and 37<\/a> of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996<\/a>, and what reforms can be proposed, Kirti<\/span> Uppal, Senior Advocate<\/span>, said that “the best form of legal reform is to avoid lawyers and Courts.” He shared his mantra that he explains to the litigants, that “your litigation will make me rich, and will create a problem for you.”<\/p>\n

He said that “as far as Section 34 is concerned the minimal Court interference becomes the ultimate Court’ s interference.”<\/p>\n

He further added that Sections 34<\/a> and 37<\/a> of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996<\/a> are the shortest and possible alternative to a long litigation but the practical situation is different.<\/p>\n

On the question concerning the benefit from the IBC and MSE Act’s intersection, Purti Gupta, AoR, Supreme Court<\/span> suggested that MSME should be treated as a separate class of creditors. A solution has to be seen from the perspective of the changes in the legislation vis- a -vis the IBC.<\/p>\n

Vinod Kumar, President, India SME Forum<\/span> talked about the possible amendments to be brought in the MSME Act to help the sector.<\/p>\n

Dr. Prem Chand, Assistant Professor, NLU-D<\/span>, stated that there is lack of awareness among MSMEs. He suggested that programs for creating awareness must be conducted. He emphasized that some seed funding should be provided to the research institutes to identify the issues and give practical solutions.<\/p>\n

LEGAL REFORMS IN THE MSMED ACT, 2006<\/p>\n

PANELISTS<\/span><\/p>\n

Avnit Arora, Director, Department of Legal Affairs, Ministry of Law and Justice<\/p>\n

Anil Bharadwaj, Secretary General, FISME<\/p>\n

Dr. Navneet Sharma, Director General, CIRC<\/p>\n

Prof. (Dr.) Ritu Gupta, National Law University, Delhi<\/p>\n

Ramni Taneja, Advocate & Solicitor of the England & Wales Supreme Court<\/p>\n

MODERATOR<\/p>\n

Anant Vijay Maria, Advocate-on-Record, Supreme Court of India<\/span> said that “this panel session includes a basic understanding of the reforms that the Act requires”. He asked what emerging challenges are coming out of the MSME Act.<\/p>\n

Avnit Arora, Director, Department of Legal Affairs, MoL&J s<\/span>aid that “the Act is very well structured. The Mediation Act also in the year 2023 has recognized various stakeholders for enabling social mediation. The role of the MSCFC’s is to facilitate the dispute resolution. The seller is a micro small enterprise, so the facilitation councils and the liberty available under the Act to not do something which is best left to be done by an expert is where the recognition could improve the function of the entire ecosystem. The idea is to enable capacity building, enable more institutions to be well equipped, take up mediation and arbitration which is again recognized under law without being requirement of clause which is otherwise the premise for alternative dispute resolution.”<\/p>\n

Prof. (Dr.) Ritu Gupta, NLU-D<\/span> pointed out the payments as another issue that we can flag with our Acts. So, these MSMEs basically lack all those kinds of skills we need in all those outreach programs, those initiatives. MSN Media has been a very historic, very important development and it has been able to settle several important questions. One of course was definition. Earlier as you know, only small-scale industries were defined.<\/p>\n

She also discussed that the attention of the policymakers is sort of drawn to specific segments of micro foreign media and that’s why we could create certain provisions only for migrants, for enterprises having defined.<\/p>\n

Navneet Sharma, Director General, CIRC<\/span> said that the growth opportunity which is arising in the Indian economy is on the digital side. We are already at about 16-17%, going to be 20% in two years’ time. So, the primary engine of growth particularly for Micro small enterprises is going to be digital economy. Now, when it comes to digital economy, what is the bridge between micro and small enterprises, all startups and digital? Basically, two bridges. Number one is market access. So, the market access is happening through Flipkart and Amazon and Snapdeal and now on that bridge, are there any irritations is the pertinent question today to ask? Another question that is posed is for some of you as business owners and the ability to conduct business and basically promote it. He also discussed the role of the DPDP Act 2043.<\/p>\n

Ramni Taneja, Advocate & Solicitor of the England & Wales Supreme Court<\/span> said that the only issue is that the Act is a very slender Act, and streamlining and making it more holistic and comprehensive would help.<\/p>\n

The Moderator posed a question that whether it be the access to market or the new legislations or challenges that have come forward with respect to definitions.<\/p>\n

Avnit Arora pointed out that the facilitation or the ease of flow of credit is the most important facet for the smooth functioning of the MSMEs. He suggested that the focus should be on possibly promoting micro enterprises first. Interface becomes a small enterprise, a small enterprise becomes a medium enterprise, and a medium enterprise becomes a larger enterprise.<\/p>\n

Anil Bharadwaj, Secretary General, FISME<\/span> said that the creditors are clumped together with operational creditors. The giants guaranteed the full payment and not only the principal, but also the interest. Ultimately, they are taken care of, and nothing is left once you have the waterfall mechanism. The definitional changes require the goods to be changed to include immovable goods as well from that and then inclusion of medium enterprises. For example, if you are migrants, more enterprises you are entitled to mean you can partake in 25% set aside that is given by them by the act and the moment you are out then all those benefits are taken away from you.<\/p>\n

Ritu Gupta said that it is the right time to incentivize the policies being adopted in manufacturing, branding, and marketing every time.<\/p>\n

Navneet Sharma highlighted the two important concepts for the Ministry to consider. One is the incentive structure because that influences a company’s behavior tremendously. If there is an incentive to remain warm, why should I go? So therefore, the first point you raised in your introductory remarks about the graduation rate from micro and small to medium that is heavily skewed heavily or 85 to 90% is micro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
