What is TReDS?

The main three participants in the TreDS are MSMEs (sellers), financiers and Corporate entities (buyers).
According to RBI, only MSMEs can participate as sellers in TReDS.
In 2015, RBI granted approval for SIDBI and NSICL to set up and operate TReDS.
It can help the MSMEs unlock their working capital.
It ensures higher efficiency and capital management.

How does TReDS work?

The seller first uploads an invoice. This invoice waits for an acceptance from a buyer. After the buyer accepts the invoice, it goes for auction. The financiers enter discounting rates. The party bearing the interest cost will accept the best bid. Later the financier account is debited and seller account is credited.
