FOSMI’s range of services offered to its members include the vitally important consultancy services rendered by its professionally qualified consultants on a wide range of subjects ranging from preparation of bankable project reports to start a business through to marketing, export, Central Excise, Service Tax, VAT Factories Ad, Labour Laws etc. to name just a few. This consultancy/advice is provided free of cost to its members.

Besides consultancy service, FOSMI is a platform to focus and highlight problems of its members to concerned authorities. It also acts as a bridge between the member and the concerned authority to help provide a remedy to these problems, which is often difficult, if not impossible to achieve, by the efforts of an individual unit.

Currently the Federation is actively engaged in strong representation and negotiations with concerned authorities in the Government of West Bengal with regard to mutation and conversion-related problems faced by units in Sankrail Industrial Park, Dhulagori, Howrah, as well as by units in Talbanda Bodai Area.

By persistent efforts and follow ups, FOSMI has been able to move the State government to allow LV/MV connections for loads up to 125 KVA which was previously restricted to loads up to 49 HP FOSMI has also persuaded CESC to shift from their earlier stand of demanding HT connection for loads beyond 49 HP and to agree to treat such cases on a case to case basis.This will immensely benefit units in the MSME sector
