MSME SAMADHAAN - Delayed Payment Monitoring System

Ministry of MSME, Government of India Free Intermediate India

If you are registered as an MSME and a customer sits on your invoice past 45 days, this government portal is the actual legal mechanism for filing a delayed payment complaint and claiming compound interest under the MSMED Act. Most founders never register or never use it, and it is one of the few real levers you have against a buyer who signed a deal and then stopped paying. Worth registering for Udyam before you need it, not after.

  • Udyam registered MSMEs can file a delayed payment complaint after 45 days.
  • The law entitles you to compound interest on the overdue amount, not just the principal.
  • Register for Udyam early so this option exists before you actually need it.
