The Union Budget 2026 27 introduced the Corporate Mitra initiative aimed at creating a skilled support layer for micro, small and medium enterprises, as per news reports. The government is finalising operational guidelines with a target rollout by the end of May or June.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs is preparing to roll out the Corporate Mitra programme by June. The scheme will train individuals to provide basic bookkeeping and regulatory assistance to MSMEs, especially in Tier II and Tier III towns where professional services are limited. The rollout will be managed through a central portal to ensure uniformity and transparency.
A 9-month training model is under discussion. The curriculum will cover fundamentals of accounting, statutory filing, and minimum compliance requirements. Candidates will undergo practical modules and an assessment at the end of the programme to earn certification.

Professional bodies such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the Institute of Company Secretaries of India and the Institute of Cost Accountants of India have submitted inputs on the course design.
These institutes will help develop short term modular content and may assist in accrediting training providers.
Any graduate from science, arts or business administration can enrol. The portal driven approach will allow applicants to register online, track progress and receive certification digitally. After certification, Corporate Mitras are expected to offer services to MSMEs at affordable rates, enhancing compliance capacity at the grassroots level.
The Corporate Mitra programme aims to launch by June with a 9 month training schedule, leveraging professional institute inputs and a portal driven deployment to support MSMEs across Tier II and Tier III regions.
