We have been fighting the pandemic for the past one and a half years now. It has had a severe impact on all facets of our lives, the economy being the most severe of all.MSMEs were the most impacted by it. Due to the hardships of the pandemic, it became extremely difficult to manage them all.
Credit requests by micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) increased to almost pre-pandemic levels in June 2021, recovering after a drop in loan inquiries in April and May due to the second wave of Covid-19 infections, according to the Small Industries Development Bank of India (Sidbi)-TransUnion CIBIL report.
The reading on the index of credit inquiries fell from 139 in March to 67 in April before rising up to 75 again in May. It moved up to a soaring 95 in June. Lockdowns in cities in June to rein in the spread of the contagion led to a bounce-back in credit demand by MSME.
The recent additional relief measures, especially in health care, and travel and tourism, are expected to improve credit offtake in the MSME sector as well. The flattening of the curve has played a major factor in this case. But with the third wave knocking on our doors, it will be even more important to utilize this time and credit wisely in order to uplift and sustain the growth of your enterprise.

SalaryBook’s extensive employee management system offers a modern digital solution to all the day-to-day employee-related issues faced by MSME owners.SalaryBook offers a digital solution for employee management services.

The COVID 19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on businesses across industries. While large organizations have all the resources to adapt to emerging technologies and internet tools to tackle some of the hardships due to the pandemic, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) find it difficult to keep up. Easy access to finance and its proper management has always been a trivial task for such MSMEs, especially in India. These micro and smaller firms are typically more financially fragile and have very small cash buffers than their larger counterparts, making them less resilient to any crisis. Data from 119 developing countries shows that MSMEs perceive access to finance and its appropriate management as the most significant obstacle, which hinders their growth.
In India, MSMEs account for about 99% of all the enterprises, comprising 63 million MSMEs across various industries and diverse geographic locations. Our economy is heavily dependent on the success and growth of MSMEs. Proper Financing and its management is one of the sure-shot ways to do so.
MSMEs, particularly micro and small businesses, face a significant funding gap, as they generally have a difficult time obtaining credit from formal financial institutions. This is largely due to information asymmetry, lack of previous credit history, and formal documentation, etc, which results in the unwillingness of lenders to provide financing to them. Even if they get financing, it typically takes time in approval and requires hard collateral like movable property and other rigorous documentation.
The pandemic has forced the MSMEs to digitize and adopt the digital way of life or what has been dubbed as “the new normal”. In the online economy, digitization, digitalization and digital transformation have offered a promising potential to unlock the bottlenecks faced by MSMEs and bolster their growth. Historically, MSMEs have significantly low adoption of technology such as the usage of online channels for employee management HR software, payroll management systems, digital accounting, payment transactions through multiple online channels or even for business communication. The reason being the inability in handling the complexities of such professional software.
With this in mind, SalaryBook has come up with a complete digital solution that is very easy to handle and use. In fact easier than using WhatsApp, FaceBook or YouTube. SalaryBook’s mobile app provides a complete digital solution to all your employee management related issues. SalaryBook’s smart attendance management system (GPS enabled) is one of its most striking features. Daily reports in simple pdf format help the owners have full control over their enterprise. Payroll Management has also been made absolutely easy with SalaryBook.
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises(MSMEs) are the backbone of India’s economy. The more they thrive, the better India’s economic condition becomes. But their growth is hindered by the gap created due to the lack of proper digitalization in an era where we spend almost one-third of a day in our lives in front of a computer or mobile screen.
SalaryBook is a mobile application created with the intention to help various MSMEs or SMBs across India to join the digital bandwagon and keep up with the changing times. SalaryBook provides a simple digital solution to the challenges faced in employee management.
Several challenges come up in this process of “Digitalization”. Let us go through them one by one and see how SalaryBook can help solve them.
Small Business Owner is not a tech pro and often finds difficulties in using a new/complex interface: SMB owners are not tech-savvy. Although they spend a sufficient amount of time using social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp or surfing through YouTube videos yet dealing with the complexities of Payroll Management Software is not feasible for them. Although, if the User Interface(UI) is simple enough, they easily adopt a solution. SalaryBook’s users are easily able to figure out the uses of different sections of the apps very well. The reason being the simple and effective UX. SalaryBook is almost as easy to use as WhatsApp which makes it stand out among its competitors.
It is very difficult to build financial products for SMB/MSME owners and their employees: Most of these small businesses operate 7 days a week. They hardly get time to go to the banks to avail financial services. For regular deposits, they usually send their staff to the bank. Also, due to the tiresome paperwork involved in availing of a business loan, it becomes very difficult for them to apply for it. SalaryBook solves this problem not only for the owners but also for their employees. SalaryBook’s Smart Attendance Management System, Payroll Management System, and customized daily reports assist the owners in having full control over their enterprise whereas the employees get the benefits of its ever-expanding and exclusive job portal to connect with employers in their respective domains.
They refrain from paying for a SaaS: Since these businesses operate mostly at micro to small levels, it is not feasible for them to pay for a SaaS. Their net revenue does not allow them to adopt any such digital solution. This issue is also addressed by SalaryBook. SalaryBook is a free mobile application and can be easily used by anyone, anywhere, and anytime.
Digitally empowering the Small to Medium Business(SMB) owners can help India’s economy boost and leapfrog many of the developed economies in the chart of GDP. SalaryBook is assisting the MSMEs/SMBs across India this way. Play your part in India’s development as a whole and help SalaryBook reach as many needful MSME/SMB owners or their employees as possible.
According to the government data, the unemployment rate in India is slowly recovering back to the pre-Covid level. In February 2021, India’s unemployment rate was 6.9 percent, down from 7.8 percent in February 2020, indicating that the unemployment rate in the country had returned to pre-Covid levels. But this rate is still very high, in fact, the highest in 45 years. Hence, we ought to look for ways to bring it down and improve the job scenario in our nation. One such way is the progress of the MSME sector.
SalaryBook could be the first step in the digital education of the MSMEs who have been struggling until now to use any form of a digital tool.
Amid all this chaos, the MSME sector has been able to stand its ground. As per the National Sample Survey (NSS) 73rd round, the MSME sector has been creating 11.10 crore jobs(360.41 lakh in Manufacturing, 0.07 lakh in Non-captive Electricity Generation and Transmission, 387.18 lakh in Trade, and 362.82 lakh in Other Services) in the rural and the urban areas across the country. Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have been contributing significantly to the expansion of entrepreneurial endeavors through business innovations. The MSMEs are widening their domain across sectors of the economy, producing a diverse range of products and services to meet the demands of domestic as well as global markets. As per the data available with Central Statistics Office (CSO), M/o Statistics & Programme Implementation, MSMEs contribute to approximately 30 percent of our GDP.
Hence all the aforementioned statistics and data suggest that the proper nourishment and growth of the MSME sector can elevate the employment rate in our country. That way we can come at par with the developed countries of the world as well.
But the question now is how do we help the MSME sector thrive and grow?
Ministry Of MSME, Government Of India has been bringing out schemes for the betterment of all the stakeholders of the MSME sector. But the major hindrance in the development of MSMEs is the lack of digitization. Digitally empowering small business owners is a must for their growth in this era of Information & Technology. The solution to this is to take one step at a time and teach them how to leverage data to improve their business.
There has been a lack of any promising Human Resource Management platform. Small business owners and vendors struggle a lot with keeping the records of their employees. It takes a lot of time and effort for them to maintain all their employee-related records using pen and paper. Most of the HRM solutions available today are suitable for tech-savvy people, but what they require is a product that is as simple to use as WhatsApp. The affordability of such softwares makes it even more difficult for them to adapt to these digital solutions.
SalaryBook promises to provide a solution to these MSMEs using their easy-to-use mobile application. By using SalaryBook, a business owner can easily manage Staff Salary And Attendance. Salary Book offers a very easy-to-use and simple mobile app for payroll and employee management. SalaryBook replaces your traditional ledger account book. SalaryBook could be the first step in the digital education of the MSMEs who have been struggling until now to use any form of the digital tool.
Getting started with a business is not easy in today’s world. There are several challenges regarding it. Starting a business requires money and innovative ideas and adaptability to the changes in the market scenario, which will help the business flourish.

SalaryBook provides you with an opportunity to have proper control over the most important facet of this management system i.e. the monetary operations like salary and attendance.

On Friday, the government reinstated retail and wholesale trade under the category of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises(MSMEs) after 4 years, making such entities eligible for priority sector funding and special liquidity scheme from banks. According to MSME Minister Nitin Gadkari, this would benefit 2.5 crore enterprises across the nation.
This is a move in the right direction to uplift the MSME sector. It would help the retail and wholesale market to avail all the special benefit schemes provided by the government under the MSME Ministry and would thus lead to the much-needed categorized formalization of this sector.
Retailers and wholesalers have also been the backbone of our market economy. Ever since the onset of the pandemic, it took a hit just like any other anthropogenic activity. But Friday’s path-breaking decision, which came as a boon for the owners of such enterprises, will ensure the revival of the stagnant retail and wholesale market.
