Commercial disputes we recover
- Contract and PO dues: goods delivered or services performed under a contract the buyer now disputes or ignores.
- Retention and security deposits: amounts held by builders, EPCs and large buyers long after the defect or warranty period.
- Distribution and agency settlements: claims, credit notes and closing balances after an agreement ends.
- Cancelled orders: goods made to order and then refused, where the buyer owes the price or damages.
- Rate contracts and running accounts: disputed quantities or rates across many deliveries.
Arbitration or court?
Many commercial contracts carry an arbitration clause. If yours does, disputes go to an arbitral tribunal rather than court; the award is enforceable like a decree and the process is usually faster. If there is no clause, a summary suit under Order XXXVII CPC fits fixed sums, and an ordinary civil suit covers damages. Udyam-registered suppliers also have the Facilitation Council route regardless of what the contract says, because the MSMED Act overrides contrary terms.
Your advocate reads the contract in the free assessment and recommends the route with the best chance and the lowest cost.
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.
