In view of the important role of micro, small and medium enterprises
(MSMEs) in economic development, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal
Khattar on Saturday made several announcements to bring these industries
back on track.
These include setting up bank complaint
information centres for redressal of issues related to banks, extending
the date to deposit electricity bills without penalty till May 31, to
provide state guarantee for bank loans to MSMEs from Small Industries
Development Bank of India, fixing power rate at Rs 4.75 per unit for
agriculture-based industries up to 20 KW, and pre-fabricated housing for
labourers in the factories itself.
The Chief Minister said this

Laghu Udyog Bharati Association of all districts through videoconference
here.
Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, who also holds the portfolio of Industries and Commerce Department, was also present.
The
Chief Minister said during the nationwide lockdown, economic activity
of all the states was affected and now they are being reopened in a
phased manner.
"Haryana's Enterprise Promotion Policy, 2015 was
appreciated all over the country. Now the state government is committed
to make the best industrial policy in the country again. A new
Enterprise Promotion Policy will be formulated from August 2020, for
which suggestions will be invited from all stakeholders," he said.
Khattar said the revenue collected by the state in the last two months has been almost negligible.
The revenue is mainly collected from GST, Excise, Stamp Duty, VAT refund from central government, and mining, he added.
He said that these are now being operationalised in a phased manner.
He

related to HSIIDC. In addition, issues related to VAT refunds of 2017

per cent working capital has also been announced by the central
government, he added.

Corona Relief Fund, he added.
