New Definition of MSME

A new composite formula of classification for manufacturing and service units has been notified. Now, there will be no difference between manufacturing and service sectors,  and a new criterion of turnover is also added.

No Change
Small manufacturing and services units
Rs. 10 Crore of investment and Rs 50 Crore of turnover.
No Change
Medium manufacturing and services units
Rs. 20 Crore of investment and Rs. 100 Crore of turnover.
The Government of India on 01.06.2020 decided for further upward revision of the MSME Definition. For medium Enterprises, now it will be Rs. 50 Crore of investment and Rs. 250 Crore of turnover.
 

As a part of new definition, Exports will not be counted in turnover for any enterprises whether micro, small or medium which will encourage the MSMEs to export more and more without fearing to loose the benefits of a MSME unit.
This is expected to exponentially add to exports from the country leading to more growth and economic activity and creation of jobs.
