Trade Receivables Discounting System is a welcoming step by the RBI to regulate the trade receivables between MSMEs, large corporates and financiers. This is beneficial not just for these individual players, but for the entire economy of the nation.
To decrease the financing concerns faced by MSMEs in India, RBI introduced the concept of TReDS in 2014, an institutional mechanism for financing trade receivables on a secure digital platform. Trade receivable exchanges such as M1xchange, are helping the MSME supplier get early payment against their invoices with minimum paperwork in just 2-3 days. Since invoice discounting on TReDS ensures regular payment and optimized cash flow, many MSMEs are now using TReDS as their preferred mode of payment.
TReDS addresses the gaps in MSME industry as enterprises face challenges in getting their payments on time, thus creating working capital discrepancies. TReDS is a timely and effective solution to drive the MSME sector to the next phase of Indian economy.
