Common questions
A client or company owes me money and won't pay — what can I do?+
Start with a properly drafted legal notice setting out the computation, the due date and the consequence of non-payment. A large share of commercial dues settle at this stage. Where the debtor stays silent, we escalate to a summary suit, a Section 138 complaint, arbitration or an NCLT petition depending on the paperwork and the amount involved.
Can money be recovered without going to court?+
Very often, yes. A properly drafted and served legal notice resolves a large share of commercial dues. We attempt amicable settlement first and litigate only when the other side does not respond.
What documents do I need to start a recovery or dispute matter?+
Invoices, purchase orders or the contract, the ledger or account statement, delivery proof, and any email or WhatsApp correspondence confirming the dues. Dishonoured cheques and the bank return memo help considerably.
What can I do if a vendor or supplier takes an advance and doesn't deliver?+
Send a formal demand for refund or performance within a fixed timeline, and preserve the purchase order, payment proof and all correspondence. If the vendor stays unresponsive, a summary suit under Order XXXVII CPC or a criminal complaint for breach of trust is usually the fastest route, depending on the facts.
