The court clarified that registration under Section 8 of the MSMED Act is not a prerequisite for making a reference to the Facilitation Council under Section 18, emphasizing broad access to justice.
If any registration under the MSMED Act is obtained, the same will be prospective and would apply to supply of goods and services subsequent to registration but cannot operate retrospectively. Accord....
The MSMED Act, 2006 applies only to delayed payments to Micro and Small Enterprises, and it does not contemplate an independent claim by the Buyer against the Supplier.
The benefits under the MSME Act do not apply if the registration under the Act was obtained subsequently.
