B2B recovery is a legal process, not a phone campaign
Business dues come with paperwork (POs, GST invoices, delivery proof) and with laws written for exactly this problem: the MSMED Act’s 45-day limit and statutory interest, Section 138 for bounced cheques, summary suits for invoices. A B2B recovery company uses those; a consumer agency cannot. FundRaksha’s advocates do, for Agra suppliers of every size.
Recovering B2B dues in Agra: what is specific here
Agra makes a large share of India’s footwear, supplied to brands and wholesalers in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata on 90 to 120 day credit; marble and handicraft exporters add overseas dues. Footwear units are mostly micro and small enterprises, so the MSME Act’s 45-day rule and interest apply, and Samadhaan is heard in Uttar Pradesh.
Main industries: footwear and leather, marble inlay and handicrafts, tourism and hospitality, cold storage and potato trading and iron foundries.
Courts: Judicial Magistrate courts, Agra, for Section 138; District Court, Agra, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers in Agra file on MSME Samadhaan, heard by the Uttar Pradesh Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council (Directorate of Industries, Government of Uttar Pradesh, Kanpur). The Council sits where the supplier is, so a Agra supplier can pursue a buyer in another state from home.
Common B2B defaults in Agra
- Leather and footwear: 90 to 120 day credit to brands and wholesalers, seasonal orders, and returns or markdown claims used to cut payments.
- Exporters and export houses: Domestic suppliers to export houses wait on the exporter’s own realisation; exporters themselves face overseas buyers paying late or disputing quality.
- Food processing and agri-trading: Mandi and trade credit on trust, high-value lots paid by cheque or RTGS weeks later, and seasonal cash-flow excuses for delay.
- Engineering, fabrication and machine tools: Purchase orders with 45 to 90 day terms, frequent “hold” on payments pending inspection, and debit notes for rejections.
