MSME Facilitation Centre (MFC) - "Points of Single Contact" for information and procedures
Many MSME entrepreneurs are not conversant with the provisions of relevant Acts and Rules, compliances, application forms, and the location of government offices to submit the applications for approvals, certificates and licenses tostart enterprises or to avail government incentives.
Entrepreneurs were required to visit various offices to enquire, consult, and finally to submit applications. Apart from the running around, they often become victims of unscrupulous middlemen.
Even after all this, more visits were required to be made to follow up and finally collect certificates or licenses. This remained one of the biggest challenges and a disincentive for entrepreneurs who wanted to start a new venture, diversify or expand.
Every district now has an MSME Facilitation Centre (MFC) located in their respective District Industries Centres (DIC) and in Kolkata. The MFCs are dedicated service providers on statutory compliances for an MSME entrepreneur. The MFC is tagged to the online Single Application Gateway (SAG) through http://myenterprisewb.in and acts as a single point to receive all applications made by an entrepreneur to various government entities for compliances and to avail government incentives.
The hands-on facilitation services provided by an MFC to MSME entrepreneurs include:
1. All information on statutory compliances needed to set up an enterprise or to avail government incentives.
2. Application forms.
3. A checklist of the documents to be attached with the application.
4. Hand-holding support to fill out the forms.
5. Thorough checking of the forms ensure they are correct in all respects
6. Submitting the application to the government office by the MFC.
7. Answering any queries that a government office may have
8. Collecting the certificate/license on behalf of the applicant either in person or through SAG.
9. Delivering it to the applicant.
These services are available on line through SAG at http://myenterprisewb.in
The most important development has been that definite deadlines have been fixed for the delivery of certificates and licences.
Another important development has been the appointment of relationship officers for businesses. With an average of 10,000 businesses starting every year and all of them with special needs, the emphasis has been on giving them a headstart in a very competitive environment. The initiative to introduce a relationship officer for every new enterprise has seen some surprisingly good results and has evoked very good response from those involved in the MSME sector. There are 400 specially trained relationship officers working in the field in the state.
