Facing Liquidity Problems
MSMEs face constraints in obtaining adequate finance, particularly in terms of their ability to convert their trade receivables into liquid funds. The problem of timely realization of receivables persists despite the fact that the MSMED Act, 2006 mandates payments to MSMEs be made within 45 days of acceptance of goods and services.
TReDS is an online electronic institutional mechanism for facilitating the financing of trade receivables of MSMEs through multiple financiers. The TReDS Platform will enable discounting of invoices/bills of exchange of MSME Sellers against large Corporates including Govt. Departments and PSUs, through an auction mechanism, to ensure prompt realization of trade receivables at competitive market rates.
Receivables Exchange of India Ltd (RXIL), is a joint venture promoted by Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE). RXIL operates the Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS) Platform.
MSMEs benefit due to timely payments in a transparent mechanism at very competitive pricing. Assured of timely cash flows ensures better quality of products and processes in the long run for MSME sector

The goods supplied by them include vegetables, fruits, ready-to-eat street food, tea, pakodas, breads, eggs, textile, apparel, footwear, artisan products, books/ stationary etc. The services include barber shops, cobblers, pan shops, laundry services etc. The COVID-19 pandemic and consequent lockdowns have adversely impacted the livelihoods of street vendors.
