Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Udyam registration status matter in an MSME payment dispute?
The payment-protection remedies under the MSMED Act, 2006 — including the Facilitation Council's mediation and arbitration process and the enhanced timelines under the MSME Amendment Act, 2026 — generally apply where the supplier held valid Udyam registration at the relevant time. A dispute over registration status can affect whether these remedies are available, so buyers sometimes raise it as a preliminary objection.
Can a buyer refuse to pay by disputing my Udyam registration?
A buyer can raise the registration status as an objection before the Facilitation Council, but whether that objection succeeds depends on the actual registration record, the dates of supply, and the specific facts placed before the Council. It is not an automatic defence to non-payment.
What if my Udyam registration was updated after I supplied the goods?
Whether MSME payment protection applies in such situations depends on the specific facts, including when the registration was obtained relative to the relevant supply and transaction. This is assessed by the Facilitation Council on a case-by-case basis rather than through any fixed rule.
Does the MSME Amendment Act, 2026 affect Udyam registration disputes?
The MSME Amendment Act, 2026 focuses mainly on dispute-resolution timelines, online dispute resolution, TReDS settlement for CPSE buyers, and award recovery as an arrear of land revenue — it does not change the underlying Udyam registration requirement, so registration-status disputes are still resolved on the existing eligibility criteria.
