Q182: Regarding the "Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs)," which of the following is a mandatory provision for Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs)?
✅ Correct Answer: B
Correct Option: B. Concept: Public Procurement Policy.
The policy mandates that every Central Ministry/Department/PSU shall set an annual goal of procuring a minimum of 25% of the total annual purchases of products or services from Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs). Note: This target does NOT apply to Medium Enterprises (Option D is wrong). Within the 25%, there are sub-targets: 4% for SC/ST owned MSEs and 3% for Women owned MSEs.
