What a professional collector does, and does not do
| Professional (FundRaksha) | Unprofessional (avoid) |
|---|---|
| Legal notice from an advocate with a full statement of account | Anonymous calls and messages |
| Calls to the buyer’s finance team at business hours, recorded | Calls to family, staff or at odd hours |
| Negotiated settlement in writing, with post-dated payments | Verbal promises and partial cash collections |
| Statutory remedies: Council, Section 138, suits, arbitration | Threats, visits and public shaming |
| Success fee only on recovery | Advance fees and hidden charges |
Harassment is not only unethical; it gives the buyer a defence and can expose you to a counter-complaint. The lawful route recovers more and protects your reputation in your trade.
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.
