OPEN LETTER IMPACT · JUNE 2020
A public appeal for MSME relief during the COVID crisis.
The open letter to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman was widely shared across LinkedIn, Facebook, and TaxGuru, raising the MSME voice on GST late fees.
⚖️
GST late fee waiver for MSMEs
42,000+ cases filed with MSME ministry. ₹11,500 crores of MSME debt at stake. Late fees crushing small dealers.
🔒
ITC restriction impact on small dealers
Notification 49/2019 restricted ITC to 20% then 10% — devastating for MSMEs dependent on supplier compliance.
💻
GSTR filing system glitches
Quarterly filers denied payment for 90+ days due to GSTN system constraints — not taxpayer fault.
💰
Working capital crisis for exporters
GST payable within 20 days but customer credit runs 45–90 days — contradicts MSME Act spirit entirely.
