In India micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in the development of economy through their contribution to GDP, employment generation, regional development, export promotion, etc. Irrespective of the achievements of the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector, there are certain issues which eclipse desired growth. Availability of ample and timely credit at reasonable rate of interest is vital for the development of these sectors. There seems to be a gap between demand for and supply of the bank credit to SMEs.
