    Solution

    MSMEs are growth engines of our economy.  Micro enterprises with turnover up to ` 2 crore and certain professionals with turnover of up to  `50 lakh can avail the benefit of presumptive taxation. I propose to provide enhanced limits of ` 3 crore and ` 75 lakh respectively, to the taxpayers whose cash receipts are no more than 5 per cent. Moreover, to support MSMEs in timely receipt of payments, I propose to allow deduction for expenditure incurred on payments made to them only when payment is actually made.
