The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is considering introduction of direct transfer of benefits (DTB) to those setting up units under the Prime Minister Employment Generation Programme, Anup K. Pujari, secretary, Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, told presspersons here on Friday.
In order to simplify processes, the Ministry has introduced single page registration and since its launch last month, over 10,000 people have applied for Udyog Aadhaar.
Though Entrepreneurs Memorandum I or II are valid, MSME entrepreneurs who have these are also encouraged to go in Udyog Aadhaar, he said.
With regard to the public procurement policy, the Ministry was looking at measures that will benefit startups too.
The secretary had interactions with representatives of MSME associations here on Friday and Saturday.
