The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) issued a notification that specific companies having outstanding dues to the MSME (Micro, Small and Medium) enterprises have to file the particulars of all current outstanding dues in Form MSME with the ROC (Registrar of Companies). Companies need to identify if their suppliers are registered or not under the MSME Act, 2006.
