MSMEs Receive ‘goodies’ as Job Creation Worries Continue to Haunt Government.

KEEPING the focus on job creation, the Budget has made several announcements to boost micro, small and medium enterprises or MSMEs. But unlike what most people thought, it is not the reduction in the corporate tax rate (from 30 per cent to 25 per cent for companies with turnover of ₹50-250 crore) or the ₹3,794 crore provision for credit support, capital/interest subsidy and innovations, which would have the biggest impact on the sector.

According to Anil Bharadwaj, Secretary General, Federation of Indian Micro & Small and Medium Enterprises, the biggest announcement for the MSME sector is extension of the facility of fixed-term employment to all sectors. “This is a big move as it allows MSMEs to hire contract labour. Most manufacturing MSMEs have seasonal production cycle and find it difficult to hire permanent labour,” says Bharadwaj.

Long Live The Back Office!

The rise of India's information technology sector started in the early-1990s, soon after economic liberalisation, when global firms began outsourcing software development work to the country. Between 1997 and 1999, Indian firms saw a boom on account of the work they did to fix the software of older computer systems that used two-digit codes to denote calendar years.
