Two deadlines a year, not one

MSME-1's half-yearly cadence is the detail most likely to trip up a calendar built around annual filings — a company that files once in October and assumes it's done for the year misses the April occurrence entirely. Each filing reports outstanding dues to MSME-registered suppliers for the preceding six-month period, not a running annual total.

MSME-1 only applies to companies with outstanding payments to MSME suppliers beyond the agreed timeline (or 45 days in the absence of an agreement) — a company with no such outstanding dues in a given half doesn't need to file for that period, which is different from DPT-3's practice of filing even at nil.

Penalty — confirm before quoting

MSME-1 carries a penalty on the company plus a daily fine on directors in default, but we haven't verified the exact current figures with the confidence needed to present them as settled fact. Confirm the company-level penalty and the director daily-fine amount with your CA before quoting a number to a client — this is one of the figures explicitly flagged for verification in this tool.

Because the underlying obligation (outstanding MSME dues) can appear or disappear between halves as a company's vendor relationships change, MSME-1 applicability is worth re-checking at each half-year boundary rather than assumed to carry over unchanged from the prior filing.
