What makes an invoice recoverable
Most unpaid invoices are recoverable if three things exist: proof the goods or services were ordered, proof they were delivered or performed, and the invoice itself. In practice that means a purchase order or email, a delivery challan, e-way bill, lorry receipt or acceptance mail, and a GST invoice with the buyer’s GSTIN. The buyer’s own replies (“we will pay next week”) are an admission that strengthens the claim.
Your GST filings help too: an invoice reported in GSTR-1 and reflected in the buyer’s GSTR-2B shows the buyer accepted the supply and claimed input credit on it.
Invoice recovery for Hyderabad businesses: our process
- Free assessment of the invoices and documents, including ageing and the buyer’s pattern of payment.
- Legal notice within 24 hours, itemising each invoice, the GST details, the due dates and the interest claimed.
- Advocate negotiation, usually ending in full payment or a signed instalment plan with post-dated payments.
- If needed: MSME Samadhaan at the Telangana State Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council for Udyam suppliers, Section 138 for cheques, or a summary suit on the invoices.
Recovering B2B dues in Hyderabad: what is specific here
Hyderabad combines a large pharma and engineering base in Jeedimetla, Balanagar and Pashamylaram with IT services in Hitec City and Gachibowli. Suppliers here often sell to other states on 60 to 90 day credit, and service invoices to IT and real-estate buyers stall in approval chains. FundRaksha is headquartered in Madhapur, so Hyderabad cases get the fastest turnaround on notices and hearings.
Main industries: pharmaceuticals and bulk drugs, IT and IT-enabled services, engineering and electrical equipment, real estate and construction and food processing and agri-trading.
Courts: Metropolitan Magistrate courts at the City Criminal Courts complex, Nampally, for Section 138 complaints; City Civil Court, Hyderabad, and the Commercial Courts for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers in Hyderabad file on MSME Samadhaan, heard by the Telangana State Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council (Commissionerate of Industries, Government of Telangana, Hyderabad). The Council sits where the supplier is, so a Hyderabad supplier can pursue a buyer in another state from home.
Interest you can add to an unpaid invoice
Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers can claim compound interest at three times the RBI bank rate from the day after the 45-day limit (or the agreed shorter date). Other suppliers can claim interest under the contract, or at a reasonable rate through the court under the Interest Act, 1978. Our notices always include the interest claim; buyers often settle the principal quickly to avoid it.
