Accounts payable outsourcing services let you run a reliable AP function without building an in-house team. Patron Accounting has supported over 10,000 businesses across India and manages payables on Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, and Xero.

We run your AP function accurately and on time, while keeping you compliant with the MSME 45-day rule, TDS, and GST input credit rules.

Content is reviewed quarterly for accuracy.

Any business with growing vendor volume but a small finance team benefits from AP outsourcing, especially where MSME and TDS compliance is at stake.

• Businesses processing more than 50 vendor invoices per month.
• Companies scaling faster than they can hire qualified AP staff.
• Buyers with registered MSME vendors who must meet the 45-day rule.
• Firms wanting visibility and controls without added headcount.

• Accounting software access (Tally, Zoho, QuickBooks, or Xero).
• Vendor master with Udyam or MSME status where available.
• Purchase orders and goods receipt notes, if used.
• Bank access or payment approval workflow.
• Applicable TDS rates and your approval matrix.

Reports you receive: an AP ageing report by vendor and due date; an MSME 45-day exposure tracker flagging at-risk invoices; a payment run schedule with approvals and TDS summary; and a vendor reconciliation statement with a GSTR-2B match report.

The MSME 45-day payment rule sits in Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act, inserted by the Finance Act 2023 and effective from 1 April 2024. A buyer can deduct an MSME expense only in the year of payment if it crosses the statutory timeline.

Under Section 15 of the MSMED Act 2006, payment is due within 15 days where there is no written agreement, capped at 45 days where one exists. Section 16 imposes interest at three times the RBI bank rate, compounded monthly, on delayed payments. Separately, failure to deduct TDS can trigger 30 percent disallowance of the related expense, and GST input tax credit is available only on bills reflected in GSTR-2B.

For official guidance on the Section 43B(h) framework, refer to the Income Tax Department (incometax.gov.in).

Each MSME invoice that slips past 45 days can defer your tax deduction to a later year under Section 43B(h) and attract interest at three times the RBI bank rate, compounded monthly. With the financial year-end cut-off fixed at 31 March, undisciplined AP creates a tax problem and a vendor problem at once. Outsourcing puts controls in place before the deadline bites.
