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 Jaipur 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 Rajasthan Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council for Udyam suppliers, Section 138 for cheques, or a summary suit on the invoices.
Recovering B2B dues in Jaipur: what is specific here
Jaipur’s exporters of jewellery, textiles and handicrafts in Sitapura, Sanganer and Johri Bazaar often carry dues from buyers in Delhi, Mumbai and abroad, and marble and stone suppliers in Kishangarh sell to builders on open credit. Export invoices need a different approach from domestic ones; domestic buyers can be pursued through notice, Samadhaan and suits in Rajasthan.
Main industries: gems and jewellery, textiles and block printing, handicrafts and exports, marble and stone and tourism and hospitality.
Courts: Metropolitan Magistrate courts, Jaipur, for Section 138; District and Sessions Court, Jaipur, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers in Jaipur file on MSME Samadhaan, heard by the Rajasthan Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council (Commissionerate of Industries, Government of Rajasthan, Jaipur). The Council sits where the supplier is, so a Jaipur 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.
