Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TReDS requirement under the MSME Amendment Act, 2026?
The MSME Amendment Act, 2026, passed by Parliament in August 2026, requires every Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) to settle invoices for goods and services procured from MSMEs through the Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS), a digital invoice-discounting platform designed to give MSME suppliers faster access to payment.
What can I do if a CPSE buyer is not settling my invoice through TReDS?
You can raise the delay with the CPSE buyer directly, and if it is not resolved, escalate the underlying payment dispute to the Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council under the MSMED Act. The Council can direct mediation and, if that fails, refer the matter to arbitration under the applicable statutory timelines.
Does the TReDS mandate apply only to CPSEs, or to all buyers?
The specific statutory mandate under the MSME Amendment Act, 2026 requires CPSEs to settle MSME invoices through TReDS. Other categories of buyers may participate in TReDS voluntarily, but whether a particular buyer is obligated to use the platform depends on its status and the applicable notification.
How is an unresolved TReDS invoice dispute different from a normal MSME payment dispute?
The underlying remedy is largely the same — mediation and arbitration before the Facilitation Council, followed by enforcement of any award. The TReDS angle mainly affects how and when the invoice was meant to be settled, which can be relevant evidence in showing the buyer's delay, particularly where the buyer is a CPSE subject to the mandatory settlement requirement.
