RBI wants trade receivables & credit exchange for financing MSMEs

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI ) has proposed setting up of a trade receivables and credit exchange (TCE) for financing micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). In the primary segment, once an MSME delivers goods as per requirement to a corporate buyer along with a bill, the buyer on acceptance of the goods posts the bill on the TCE. These receivables of the MSME from the buyer become available to third parties for bidding. The MSME can access fresh funds through the bidding process.
