The Single Point Registration Scheme (SPRS) is an NSIC development programme aimed at assisting MSMEs in India.  MSMEs with an NSIC registration plan are free from making an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) in government purchases if they choose this scheme. The money obtained from a bidder as a security deposit before any bid in order to ensure his earnestness in the deal is known as the Earnest Money Deposit or EMD.During a government bid, however, if a bidder possesses NSIC registration under the Single Point Registration Scheme, he will be free from paying the EMD.

Objective OF SPRS

  • The primary goal of SPRS is to increase government purchases from small businesses (SSIs).
  • The government is without a doubt the single largest buyer of goods and services.
  • During 1955-56, the government created the Stores Purchase Program in order to increase purchases from SSIs.
  • In 1976, the government launched the Single Point Registration Scheme (SPRS) as part of this programme. In 2003, the scheme was updated again.

  • In government bids, there is a complete exemption from the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD).
  • Government Tender Sets are provided free of charge to eligible MSEs.
  • The government has designated 358 categories of commodities for acquisition from small scale units only under the SPRS scheme.
  • The government has set a minimum ceiling of 25% of total yearly procurement of goods and services by Union Ministries, Departments, and PSUs from MSEs alone under this plan.
  • Out of this 25% limit, 4% of supplies are designated for purchase from SC/ST-owned units. A further 3% is set aside for purchases from women-owned businesses.
  • MSES that have quoted in the least level pricing band of L1+15 percent during a government tender can additionally supply up to 25% of the total requirement of goods. They must do so by lowering their price to the L1 Price Band.
