AP Ageing

Payables एजिंग with MSME bifurcation per MSMED Act 2006.

Start the free trial →Book a walk-through

Schedule III amendment 2021 mandates एजिंग buckets for trade payables. The MSMED Act 2006 adds the requirement to split payables into MSME registered suppliers and other suppliers, with खंड 15 interest disclosure for delays beyond 45 दिन. CORAA composes both views: the मानक Sch III buckets, and the MSME-vs-others split with interest accrual.

Two paths, one ledger

The old way, and ours.

Two paths to the same audit conclusion. One leaves traces; the other doesn't.

Traditional

The old way

-AP एजिंग built from accounting system वर्ष-end रिपोर्ट
-MSME identification by manually cross-checking Udyam certificates
-खंड 15 interest accrual computed in Excel per supplier
-Form 3CD Clause 22 disclosure prepared separately

AP एजिंग build समय: 3-5 घंटे. MSME अनुपालन frequently incomplete.

How it works

Three steps. Every trace logged.

Step 01

MSME identification at एंगेजमेंट सेटअप

Party Master uploaded with MSME flag (Udyam Registration Number where उपलब्ध). CORAA flags MSME registered suppliers for खंड 15 interest tracking.

Step 02

Ageing composition

Per-payable दिन outstanding computed as of the BS date. Five Sch III buckets aggregate the totals. Per-supplier एजिंग renders at Tier II; per-invoice at Tier III.

Step 03

खंड 15 interest accrual

For MSME-registered suppliers, payables outstanding beyond 45 दिन from the appointed date attract interest under खंड 15 of the MSMED Act 2006. CORAA computes the interest accrual at 3 times the bank rate, flagged for management acknowledgement.

Inside the module

What you actually get.

MSMED Act 2006 MSME bifurcation

Supplier MSME registration status drives the bifurcation. MSME registered suppliers are tracked separately for the appointed date, principal payment, and any interest accrued under खंड 15.

›MSME / non-MSME split per supplier
›Udyam Registration tracked
›Appointed date capture
›Principal vs interest disclosure

खंड 15 interest computation

खंड 15 of MSMED Act 2006 prescribes interest at 3 times the bank rate (currently around 13.5% effective rate) for delays beyond 45 दिन. CORAA auto-computes this for every MSME payable with appropriate एजिंग.

›3x bank rate computation
›Per-supplier interest accrual
›Disclosure note pre-filled
›ऑडिट log captures the assumed bank rate

नहींte 23 Trade Payables auto-fill

नहींte 23 of Schedule III requires the MSME / non-MSME split with appointed dates and interest disclosure. CORAA auto-fills this from the AP एजिंग डेटा; ऑडिटर confirms accuracy.

›नहींte 23 टेम्पलेट
›MSME / non-MSME aggregate totals
›Appointed date capture
›Interest amount accrued and paid

Form 3CD Clause 22 एकीकरण

Form 3CD Clause 22 asks for the same MSME disclosure. CORAA reuses the AP एजिंग डेटा; no re-keying required.

›Clause 22 auto-population
›Cross-tie to नहींte 23 enforced
›ऑडिटर verifies and confirms

Frequently asked

Answers, up front.

Three signals: (1) the ऑडिटर flags the supplier as MSME in the Party Master with Udyam Registration Number, (2) the GSTIN registration type indicates MSME, (3) the auditee provides an MSME declaration list. CORAA uses signal 1 as authoritative; signals 2 and 3 surface as suggestions for the ऑडिटर to verify.

Under the MSMED Act 2006, the appointed date is the date when payment becomes due (15 दिन from supply or as agreed in writing, capped at 45 दिन). After this date, interest accrues at 3 times the bank rate. CORAA captures the appointed date per invoice when bill register is loaded; otherwise uses 15 दिन from invoice date as default.

Disputed status is captured in the Party Master with an ऑडिट log entry. The disclosure note in नहींte 23 surfaces the dispute; the ऑडिटर decides whether to provide for the interest or disclose the contingent liability per AS 29.
