The MSME Samadhaan portal, explained
MSME Samadhaan is the government's portal for one specific grievance: delayed payments. It lets a registered micro or small supplier file a case against a buyer who has not paid within the time the MSMED Act allows.
What Samadhaan is for
Samadhaan is an online portal where a micro or small enterprise can lodge an application about an overdue payment from a buyer. It puts the delayed-payment machinery of the MSMED Act within reach without the supplier having to start from scratch.
It exists because the 45-day protection only helps if a supplier can actually act on it, and the portal is the entry point to doing so.
How a case flows
An application filed on Samadhaan is directed to the relevant Micro and Small Enterprise Facilitation Council, which takes up the dispute between supplier and buyer. The Council can move the matter through conciliation and, if needed, arbitration under the Act.
The supplier's position rests on the facts — the supply, the acceptance date, the due date, and the amount overdue — so those records are what a case is built on.
How Lekha keeps the case-ready facts
Lekha ages each receivable against the MSME 45-day clock and keeps the dates and documents per bill, so the acceptance date, due date, and overdue amount a case needs are already recorded.
Lekha records and tracks; it does not file cases or compute statutory interest — that stays with you, your accountant, and the calculator.
