NSIC Registration

The Government is the single largest buyer of a variety of goods. With a view to increase the share of purchases from the small-scale sector, the Government Stores Purchase Programme was launched in 1955-56. NSIC registers Micro & small Enterprises (MSEs) under Single Point Registration scheme (SPRS) for participation in Government Purchases. The registered units are extended various facilities so as to promote their participation, and consequently enhance the share in Government purchases.

The rationale of this Scheme is to avoid multiplicity of registration with various Government agencies and to ensure that the units registered with NSIC are considered at par with those registered directly with the purchasing agency.

Benefits of NSIC Registration

The units registered under Single Point Registration Scheme (SPRS) of NSIC are eligible to get the following benefits under “Public Procurement Policy for Micro & Small Enterprises (MSEs):

• Total Exemption from Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) in government bids.

{Earnest Money Deposit or EMD is the money taken from a bidder as the security deposit before any bid, in order to assure his seriousness in the deal.

             However, if a bidder has NSIC registration in the Single Point Registration Scheme, he will exempt from paying the EMD during a government bid.}

• Government Tender Sets are issued to the eligible MSEs absolutely free of cost.
• Under the SPRS scheme, 358 categories of goods have been earmarked by the government for purchase from the Small scale units only.
• As per this scheme, the Government has also earmarked a minimum limit of 25% of the total annual purchases of Goods & services by Union Ministries, Departments, and PSUs from MSEs only.
• Out of this 25% limit, 4% of supplies are reserved for purchase from the units owned by the SC/STs. Besides, 3% is reserved for purchase from women enterprises.
• During participation in a Government tender, MSES that have quoted in the least level price band of L1+15% can also supply up to 25% of the total requirement of goods.
