The single biggest killer of government-selling startups is the payment gap, not the sale. TReDS is the RBI-regulated fix, turn accepted invoices into cash in days, and SIDBI's page is the authoritative, vendor-neutral explanation of how to use it.

TReDS, Bill Discounting to Survive Slow Government Payments (SIDBI)

From sidbi.in by SIDBI explainer + platform links

  • TReDS discounts accepted MSME invoices online with no collateral, at competitive financier-bid rates.
  • Three RBI-approved platforms operate in India, including RXIL (a SIDBI, NSE joint venture).
  • CPSEs above ₹250 crore turnover are mandated onto TReDS, so many government buyers already support it.
  • If a buyer defaults after discounting, liability sits with the buyer, not the supplying MSME.
