The government is responding to concerns that the provision could backfire on the intended beneficiaries. The modification could be part of the Union budget proposals for 2024-25. The tax provision, effective from 2023-24, requires companies to record delayed payments to micro and small enterprises as an expenditure deductible only in the year of the transaction, encouraging timely payments to small businesses.
