MSME BANKING & NBFC EXCELLENCE AWARDS, 2023

 

Background:

The Chamber of Indian Micro Small & Medium Enterprises (CIMSME) has been the strong voice of the MSME sector, assisting them to move to the next level and spearheading their issues and concerns with the authorities. Nevertheless, despite covering substantial areas, challenges still hound them.

The commendable work of the Commercial Banks and NBFCs in supporting and rejuvenating the MSME sector is a well-known story. Such good work must be showcased to motivate others to follow suit and enhance the performance of the MSME sector.

This is where the inspiration came to institute MSME Banking Excellence Awards by CIMSME in 2013. The first awards were organized in January 2014 with an overwhelming response. Later on, NBFCs were added as an important supporter of MSMEs. Continuing with our Journey, CIMSME is now organizing the 2023 Edition of these Awards.

Indian Banking Sector has virtually changed the landscape in the last few decades with its extensive expansion and making available financial assistance to millions of people. The Banks have, as a show of their increased responsibility, extended assistance to the MSME sector. Banks continued their concern to reach out for meeting the credit needs of the disadvantaged, socially neglected, women population, small and micro business entities, and the agriculture sector, all forming an integral sector contributing to the GDP of our country.

Banks, NBFC, and their staff have played a very important role in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. The Atmanirbhar Bharat package and all the schemes are implemented through the Banking & NBFC sector. The Executive & Staff Members stood like the front line warriors in maintaining the economic stability in the country.

The Banks & NBFCs have proved to be a major catalyst for economic empowerment. The Bank’s and NBFC’s full commitment to expanding the reach to this sector for effective delivery of social subsidies, garnering small savings, providing financial products by harnessing technology, and creating an environment of equity and empowerment, is widely known.

Despite the following challenges, the contribution of Banks and NBFCs to the MSME Sector and Government enabling environment continues to be appreciated:

  • Inability to access adequate and timely credit from Institutions;
  • High cost of credit;
  • Collateral requirements still insisted;
  • Access to equity capital- still a dream;
  • Delayed payment from Large Corporates;
  • NPA Management and Rehabilitation of sick enterprises- still an area of concern;
  • Women entrepreneurship, credit to minorities, etc.- liberal & effective approach needed


Against this backdrop, a format has been devised to appraise and evaluate the performance of Banks and NBFCs on specified parameters as devised by RBI in the MSME sector. Such information being collected will be the basis for the Expert Jury to assess and pronounce their judgment.
