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 Lucknow suppliers of every size.
Recovering B2B dues in Lucknow: what is specific here
As Uttar Pradesh’s capital, Lucknow has a large base of contractors and suppliers to government departments, hospitals and infrastructure projects, where bills are approved slowly rather than refused. Chikan garment units in Chowk and Aminabad sell to retailers nationwide on credit. MSME Samadhaan applies to government buyers, and the Facilitation Council sits in the state.
Main industries: chikan embroidery and garments, government and PSU supply, construction and infrastructure, pharma distribution and education services.
Courts: Chief Judicial Magistrate and Judicial Magistrate courts, Lucknow, for Section 138; District Court, Lucknow, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers in Lucknow 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 Lucknow supplier can pursue a buyer in another state from home.
Common B2B defaults in Lucknow
- Textiles and garments: 60 to 120 day credit is normal; post-dated cheques and running accounts (khata) are common, and buyers raise quality or shortage disputes when they want to delay.
- Government, PSU and institutional supply: Bills pass through inspection, measurement, sanction and audit; delays come from paperwork, budget releases and staff changes rather than refusal.
- Construction, contractors and building materials: Running account bills certified against measurement books, 10% retention held for months, and payment tied to the developer’s own collections.
- Pharmaceuticals and pharma distribution: Manufacturers sell to marketing companies on 45 to 90 day credit; stockists and distributors carry brand dues against schemes, expiry returns and credit notes that are reconciled slowly.
