## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)

(a) to (b): As per the data available on MSME SAMADHAAN Portal, the applications filed by Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) are 2,56,892. Out of this, a total of 1,57,997 cases have been decided  by  Micro  and  Small  Enterprise  Facilitation  Councils  (MSEFCs).  Thus,  the  ratio  of applications filed to the cases disposed off is 1: 0.61.

All  new  cases  are  being  filed  by  MSEs  on  the  newly  launched  MSME  ODR  Portal (https://odr.msme.gov.in/) w.e.f. 15 th October, 2025.

As  informed  by  MSEFCs,  the  primary  reasons  for  pendency  at  the  pre-admission  stage  are incomplete  applications/  lack  of  supporting  documents,  time  taken  in  verification  of  eligibility  and claim details before formal admission, inconsistencies in the information/ documents submitted by the MSEs, incomplete application filed on SAMADHAAN Portal, Udyam Registration Certificate (URC) obtained after the dispute, delay in responses from buyers/respondents after issue of notices, limited administrative capacity and workload of Facilitation Councils etc.

Ministry of MSME does not maintain data on awards forwarded to District Collectors.

(c): The  State-wise  number  of  cases  registered  on  the  SAMADHAAN  Portal  in  the  country, including Chhattisgarh, since the inception of Portal on 30.10.2017, are attached at Annexure-I .

(d): As  per  NIC  Data  for  SAMADHAAN  Portal,  19  applications  have  been  filed  under  Rice Milling activity (NIC -2008 Code : 10612 - Rice Milling) in the State of Chhattisgarh, so far.

(e): As  per  MSMED  Act,  2006,  the  MSEFCs  come  under  the  sole  jurisdiction  of  State/UT Government concerned and conduct their proceedings as per specific Rules framed by the respective State/UT Governments. For timely resolution of delayed payment applications, the Ministry of MSME has taken up the request with States/UTs administration to increase the number of MSEFCs in their respective States/UTs and conduct regular meetings of councils.

Under  the  World  Bank-assisted  Central  Sector  Scheme,  "Raising  and  Accelerating  MSME Performance (RAMP)", MSEFCs are being provided with Human Resource (Legal and Office/Secretarial)  and  IT  Infrastructure  Support  to  strengthen  their  functioning  and  make  them effective.

As  informed  by  the  Directorate  of  Industries,  Chhattisgarh,  for  effective  monitoring  and expeditious  disposal  of  cases,  a  number  of  measures  have  been  taken  such  as  Cause-list  and  Case Tracking, Time-bound Stage Conversion, File Monitoring, Priority to Old Cases, and Multiple modes of Service and Notice Mechanism, to ensure compliance and statutory timelines in Chhattisgarh State.

(f): Insolvency  proceedings  are  governed  by  Insolvency  and  Bankruptcy  Code,  2016  and  the MSMEs are classified as Operational Creditors under the Act.
