&lt;p&gt;10,655 micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) closed in 2022-23. That is a 6,088% increase over the number in 2021-22, with 175 closures. The data was revealed by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Government of India as part of the response to a Parliamentary Question asked in the Rajya Sabha. The data was compiled from the Udyam registration portal, the Ministry&amp;#39;s online portal for registrations and dergitrations of MSMEs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The number of closures in 2019-20 was 400 and in 2020-21 was 175. In 2021-22 it shot up to 6,222 and in the current fiscal upto 1 February, 2023 it was 10,655. This means that the rate of closure in the two post pandemic years was precipitously higher than in the pandemic year of 2020-21. The maximum number of closures in the last two years were in the states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. A separate reply revealed that the number of MSMEs which shut shop between 2017 to 2022 was 17,452, the bulk of which happened in the last two years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although that is fraction of total number of MSMEs newly registered in the last two years alone - 21.72 lakh in 2021-22 and 17.83 lakh in 2022-23 - the rising closures point to distress in a sector that is labour intensive and contributes to exports. The number of persons employed in these newly registered MSMEs was 1.36 crore in 2021-22 and 1.11 crore in 2022-23, as per government data.

&lt;p&gt;The government launched schemes in the recently unveilved Budget 2023-24 to help the MSME sector including returning 95% of the forfeited money in case of failure to execute projects, extending a credit-guarantee scheme, and tax benefits to ensure timely receipt of payments to MSMEs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The number of closures in 2019-20 was 400 and in 2020-21 was 175. In 2021-22 it shot up to 6,222 and in the current fiscal upto 1 February, 2023 it was 10,655. This means that the rate of closure in the two post pandemic years was precipitously higher than in the pandemic year of 2020-21. The maximum number of closures in the last two years were in the states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. A separate reply revealed that the number of MSMEs which shut shop between 2017 to 2022 was 17,452, the bulk of which happened in the last two years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although that is fraction of total number of MSMEs newly registered in the last two years alone - 21.72 lakh in 2021-22 and 17.83 lakh in 2022-23 - the rising closures point to distress in a sector that is labour intensive and contributes to exports. The number of persons employed in these newly registered MSMEs was 1.36 crore in 2021-22 and 1.11 crore in 2022-23, as per government data. A &lt;a href=&quot;https://mintgenie.livemint.com/news/markets/budget-2023-impact-of-fm-sitharaman-s-announcements-on-nbfcs-and-msme-lending-151675664856313&quot;&gt;report&lt;/a&gt; in Livemint says that MSMEs contribute 30%&amp;nbsp;to the country&amp;rsquo;s GDP, create over 11 crore jobs, and account for 48 percent of total exports.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The government launched schemes in the recently unveilved Budget 2023-24 to help the MSME sector including returning 95% of the forfeited money in case of failure to execute projects, extending a credit-guarantee scheme, and tax benefits to ensure timely receipt of payments to MSMEs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

The maximum number of closures in the last two years were in the states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. A separate reply revealed that the number of MSMEs which shut shop between 2017 to 2022 was 17,452, the bulk of which happened in the last two years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although that is fraction of total number of MSMEs newly registered in the last two years alone - 21.72 lakh in 2021-22 and 17.83 lakh in 2022-23 - the rising closures point to distress in a sector that is labour intensive and contributes to exports. The number of persons employed in these newly registered MSMEs was 1.36 crore in 2021-22 and 1.11 crore in 2022-23, as per government data.

&lt;p&gt;The government launched schemes in the recently unveilved Budget 2023-24 to help the MSME sector including returning 95% of the forfeited money in case of failure to execute projects, extending a credit-guarantee scheme, and tax benefits to ensure timely receipt of payments to MSMEs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
