Letter to Minister-MSME requesting waiver for Tender Processing Fee

Fax No.: 011-23063141/ Email: min-msme@nic.in

To,
Honorable Minister Shri Kalraj Mishra
Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
Room No 123, Udyog Bhawan, Rafi Marg, New Delhi - 110011

Dear Sir,

We are ourselves SME/MSME/NSIC registered company and work with various government departments/ organizations and participate in TENDERS. Our E-Commerce venture
www.industrykart.com helps SME/MSME in several ways.

We have come across one development lately in e-procurement tenders; some government organizations are charging huge amounts for each TENDER as Tender processing fee. As per their norms, the Tender FEE is Free for NSIC registered companies but Tender Processing fee is payable.

Now Tender fee is some 500 INR, it is free but Tender processing Fee is INR 5618 and is payable. This is difficult for SME companies like us to participate in Tenders. It is causing big hindrance in SME participation in government.

Kindly intervene and get SME/MSME/NSIC registered exempt from Tender Processing Fee, which is actually tender Fee in a different Name.

An example is attached here for your reference please. The case in question here is www.tenderwizard.com/DGNPV (Indian Navy). The tender in question is “Supply, Test and Commissioning of Wire Rope Testing Machine”. This may be accessed through


Thanking you, looking forward to resolution of the problem.

Shailendra Pratap Singh
Director
