The mandate is expected to improve cash flow for MSMEs, reducing working capital constraints and potentially lowering financing costs through competitive bidding. It may also increase transaction volumes on TReDS platforms, benefiting authorized operators like RXIL, M1xchange, Invoicemart, C2treds, and DTX.

The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) issued a notification on June 30, 2026, mandating all operating Public Sector Undertakings in India (CPSEs) to settle invoices of MSME suppliers through the Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS). This fulfills a key announcement from the Union Budget 2026-27 and aims to address delayed payments, a major challenge for MSMEs. Under the new framework, all invoices raised by MSMEs on CPSEs must be routed through RBI-authorised TReDS platforms, allowing suppliers to receive financing against approved invoices before the due date. Financing is collateral-free and without recourse to the seller, with banks and NBFCs competitively bidding to discount invoices. CPSEs must disclose TReDS usage details and obtain a statutory auditor's certificate confirming compliance. The mandate is expected to improve liquidity for lakhs of MSME suppliers, set a benchmark for payment discipline across corporate India, and boost the adoption of TReDS, which has grown from ₹40,000 crore in FY22 to ₹3.47 lakh crore in FY26.
