Procedure for calculation & fixation of Monetary Limits of Micro & Small Enterprises:
An enterprise's monetary limit is fixed based on its net sales turnover over the preceding three years, as shown in the Audited Balance Sheets, using the highest of those three years' turnover — regardless of whether it is the most recent year — provided the unit's installed and operating capacity has not been reduced.
Where plant and machinery capacity has not decreased, the monetary limit is fixed at 50% of the highest turnover recorded in the audited balance sheets over the last 3 years.
Where plant and machinery capacity has decreased by more than 10%, the following applies:
1. If turnover has risen steadily over the last three years and the unit has remained continuously profitable, the monetary limit may be fixed at 50% of the net sales turnover achieved in the most recent year.
2. If the company/partnership/proprietorship unit incurred a loss in one of the past three years, its monetary limit is fixed at 40% of its average net sales turnover.
3. If the Micro & Small Enterprise incurred losses in two of the past three years, the monetary limit is fixed at 30% of its average net sales turnover for that period.
4. If the enterprise was in loss throughout all three years, its monetary limit is fixed at 20% of its average net sales turnover for that period.
The applicant may use the Fee Calculator at http://www.nsicspronline.com/Fee_Calculator.aspx to work out the applicable fee.
