https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=761994 Under the MSMED Act, 2006, supplier-protection provisions are governed by the enterprise's statutory status and the supply or service transaction, not by whether Section 8 registration existed before the contract. Registration supports the wider regulatory framework, while Sections 15 to 18 create the delayed-payment, interest, recovery, and reference machinery for protected suppliers. Accordingly, a Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council may refer a dispute to arbitration even if registration was obtained after the contract, provided the goods were supplied or services rendered within the Act's protective regime. Where the work continued after registration, claims relating to that post-registration period can fall within the Council's jurisdiction. en-us Fri, 05 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 14 Nov 2024 12:22:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=761994 Under the MSMED Act, 2006, supplier-protection provisions are governed by the enterprise's statutory status and the supply or service transaction, not by whether Section 8 registration existed before the contract.
