?Highest income tax rates in India

?Can you ever imagine that at one time, highest personal income tax rate

in India was more than 90%?

? During Indira Gandhi’s regime in 1973-74, India’s personal income tax

had eleven tax brackets with highest marginal income tax rate of 97.5

percent. Just imagine paying Rs 97.5 to the government out of every

Rs. 100 earned. Well, sounds rather scaring, doesn’t it?

SME CORNERSMEs are widely regarded as the engine of the Indian Economy. SMEs contribute significantly to industrial,

economic, technological and regional development in all developed & developing economies. However, SMEs

have been exposed to intense competition due to increasing globalization. This has made survival and

growth of this sector difficult.

Business Environment of SME Units

Challenges faced by the SME units

unforeseen situations

ØUnits generally set up by technocrats using o Lack of cognizance to even personal funds: appreciate that there is a better way

ØThese units are mainly dependent on larger to manage the projects

customers for business o Lack of inadequate internal systems

ØSMEs do not have very good reach for ØInability to attract & retain highly trained marketing that restricts their volumes and manpower in this segment since there is lot makes them too dependent on large units of poaching from larger units / MNCs.(in spite of SME expertise in niches)

ØLack of succession plans and new ØSMEs are generally starved for funds and generation not available for such causes

of Accounts Receivable & external funding practices and specif ical ly Project

arrangementsManagement practices and methodologies

ØBanks are not very keen on supporting amongst themthese units for working capital due to

uncertain business cycles and growthØInadequate attention to financial disciplines

ØToo much time required to be spent with and cash flow control (controllable &

Govt. / Semi Govt. agenciesuncontrollable) affecting even the sheer

existence of these units. This leads to:

o Lack of available funds (perpetually

caught up in this vicious cycle)

ØLack of adequate Management training and o Inability to pay competitive wages /

bandwidth amongst promoters of such units salaries to trained professional in

resulting in lack of: working classes

o Non-availability of Business plan ØLack of awareness of IPRs and legal issues

leading to ad hoc decision making (IPRs / Patents / Copyr ights /

o Registrations).Lack of Business & Financial

discipline ØNeed for training of the leadership and

o PromotersLack of Forward planning resulting in

With the increasing competition, globalization and the uncertainty due to the global downturn, SMEs will

have to continuously incorporate the latest technology into their production processes as well as in their

marketing and management functions, to cut costs gain efficiency and consistency. This will help them

become successful, and contribute to the Indian economy in the long run.

Overall, the small industry sector has performed well and has enabled the country to achieve considerable

industrial growth and diversification.
