The government is making all efforts to provide conducive atmosphere, level playing ground and policy support to enable the SSIs sector to achieve higher levels of production, exports and employment. The small-scale industry evokes different meanings for different agencies and the financial institutions. However, the definition of small industry is an important aspect of government policy as it identifies the target groups. The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 was enacted on 16th June 2006. The Act has empowered the government to establish a National Board for micro, Small and Medium Enterprise. The small-scale sector has been assigned an important role in the industrial economy of the country on account of some of its inherent advantages like low capital intensity, high employment generation capacity, regionally balanced development and even distribution of wealth and income. There are two types of small-scale industries for which registration certificates are issued by the Department of Industries and Commerce as per the guidelines issued by Development Commissioner, Government of Indi, and New Delhi. The Industrial Policy Resolution, Five Year Plans and recommendation of different committees on SSIs focus on the need for adequate and timely delivery of credit to the SSIs sector by commercial banks. The increase in the working capital limits, as suggested by different committees on the financing of SSI units, would ease the flow of bank credit to the small-scale industry.
