Corporate Mitra

The Union Budget 2026-27 quietly introduced one of the most impactful schemes for small businesses in years — Corporate Mitra. Under this scheme, a trained group of accredited para-professionals, developed in partnership with ICAI, ICSI, and ICMAI, will help MSMEs handle their everyday compliance work — GST filings, TDS returns, ROC filings, and basic financial reporting — at affordable rates. The focus is specifically on Tier-II and Tier-III towns, where reliable professional help is either unavailable or too expensive for small businesses. But this isn't just about MSMEs. The scheme has the potential to reshape how lenders assess MSME borrowers, how corporates manage MSME vendor compliance, and how mid-sized companies access professional services at a fraction of current costs. This one-hour session is a practical, no-jargon preview of what Corporate Mitra means for you — whether you're a business owner, a banker, or a corporate finance leader.
