Assocham MSME chairman urges Centre to relax norms in view of second wave

The second Covid-19 wave has hit the MSME sector, particular the micro and small enterprises who were just about recovering from the first wave, said Manguirish Pai Raiker, chairman, National Council for MSME of Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham).
Raiker has urged the Centre to offer some relief to MSMEs, particularly a relaxation in the time limit to file GST returns in May. GST 1 returns have to be filed by May 11 and GSTR 3 payments have to be made by May 23, which Assocham has recommended should be postponed to May 25 or even later.
