DRT, recovery agents or a B2B recovery agency?
| Route | Who can use it | Use it for an unpaid invoice? |
|---|---|---|
| Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) | Banks and financial institutions, for debts of ₹20 lakh and above | No: suppliers cannot file there |
| Bank recovery agents | Lenders, under RBI rules | No: they act only for lenders |
| MSME Samadhaan | Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers; heard by the Maharashtra Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Councils (regional councils for Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad and Amravati regions) | Yes, if you are Udyam-registered |
| Section 138, NI Act | Anyone holding a bounced cheque | Yes, within the 30-day notice limit |
| Summary or civil suit, arbitration | Any supplier with a fixed sum due | Yes |
A business debt recovery agency should use the last three. FundRaksha’s advocates choose the route in the free consultation and often run two together.
Recovering B2B dues in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad): what is specific here
The Waluj, Chikalthana and Shendra industrial areas supply auto OEMs, pharma and electronics companies through hundreds of small vendors with purchase orders and delivery challans. These are textbook MSME Act cases when the buyer delays past 45 days, and the Aurangabad Bench handles larger disputes locally.
Main industries: auto components and engineering, pharmaceuticals, breweries and beverages, electronics and seeds and agri-processing.
Courts: Judicial Magistrate First Class courts, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, for Section 138; District Court and its Commercial Court for recovery suits; the Bombay High Court Aurangabad Bench for high-value matters.
MSME claims: Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) file on MSME Samadhaan, heard by the Maharashtra Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Councils (regional councils for Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad and Amravati regions) (Directorate of Industries, Government of Maharashtra, Mumbai, and regional Joint Director of Industries offices). The Council sits where the supplier is, so a Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) supplier can pursue a buyer in another state from home.
Recovery agent or advocate?
A recovery agent can only remind and persuade. An advocate can send a statutory notice, claim interest under the MSMED Act, file in the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) courts or before the Council, and enforce the result. That is why every FundRaksha case has a dedicated advocate from day one. Read more: recovery agent vs advocate.

- Filing if needed. MSME Samadhaan before the Maharashtra Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Councils (regional councils for Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad and Amravati regions), a Section 138 complaint in the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) magistrate courts, a summary suit or arbitration, handled by the same advocate.
