Overview
What this filing actually does
Form MSME-1 is a half-yearly return filed with the Registrar of Companies, disclosing dues to micro and small enterprise suppliers outstanding beyond 45 days.
It applies to all companies (private, public, OPC, Section 8) that buy goods or services from micro or small enterprises — medium enterprises are not covered.
The two filing windows: April–September (due October 31) and October–March (due April 30).
If there are no dues pending beyond 45 days, no filing is needed — there is no nil return.
The form is filed on the MCA portal with the digital signature of an authorised signatory, and filings are publicly visible.
Benefits
Why companies get this done through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Deadlines never slip
We track both half-year windows for you and start preparation well before the due date.
Supplier classification done right
Knowing which of your vendors are actually registered micro or small enterprises is half the battle. We help you identify them correctly.
Reasons for delay, worded carefully
The form requires reasons for each delayed payment — and it is all public. We help you state reasons accurately without unnecessary exposure.
Penalties avoided
Non-filing when required attracts penalties on the company and officers in default. A timely filing costs far less than the alternative.
Documents
Documents you will usually need
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across records.

No. If nothing is outstanding beyond 45 days at the period end, there is no filing — and no nil return either.
No. Form MSME-1 covers dues to micro and small enterprises only. Dues to medium enterprises are outside its scope.
Penalties under the Companies Act can apply to the company and every officer in default. Beyond the money, the filing is public — lenders and vendors can see it.
Yes, late filing is possible with additional fees. File now rather than waiting for the next half-year — the exposure only grows.
Ask for their Udyam registration — it states the category. We help clients build this check into their vendor onboarding.
45 days from the date of acceptance (or deemed acceptance) of the goods or services — not the invoice date, though they often coincide.
No. Samadhaan is where MSMEs complain about delayed payments; MSME-1 is your company's own disclosure to the ROC. Both relate to the same 45-day rule.
