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 Bengaluru: what is specific here
Bengaluru’s dues are dominated by service invoices: IT vendors, staffing agencies, SaaS subscriptions and consultants billing startups and large companies in Whitefield, Electronic City and the ORR corridor. Written contracts and emails are usually strong, which makes a legal notice followed by a summary suit effective; garment exporters in Peenya and Bommanahalli have more conventional trade dues.
Main industries: IT and software services, startups and SaaS, garments and apparel exports, aerospace and precision engineering and electronics.
Courts: Metropolitan Magistrate courts at the Mayo Hall and Nrupathunga Road court complexes for Section 138; City Civil Court and the Bengaluru Commercial Courts for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers in Bengaluru file on MSME Samadhaan, heard by the Karnataka Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council (Directorate of Industries and Commerce, Government of Karnataka, Bengaluru). The Council sits where the supplier is, so a Bengaluru supplier can pursue a buyer in another state from home.
