Overdue, disputed or old: each needs a different first move
| Invoice status | First move | Then |
|---|---|---|
| Overdue, no dispute | Legal notice with statement and interest | Settlement or summary suit / Samadhaan |
| Disputed (quality, quantity, scope) | Written reply to the dispute with your evidence, then notice for the undisputed part | Negotiation; filing for the balance |
| Old (1–3 years) | Check limitation and acknowledgements, then notice | Suit before limitation expires |
| Cheque bounced | Statutory notice within 30 days | Section 138 complaint |
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.
Handling disputed invoices professionally
A buyer who disputes quality after the due date is usually delaying. The professional response is not to argue on the phone but to answer in writing: delivery accepted on this date, no complaint raised within the agreed period, test certificate attached, undisputed amount demanded now. Most disputes shrink to a small adjustment once they are in writing, and the rest of the invoice is paid.
How recovery works for a business in Hyderabad
- Free consultation and case assessment. Send us the invoice, purchase order or delivery proof and the buyer’s messages. We tell you what is recoverable and how.
- Dedicated advocate within 24 hours. Your advocate sends a legal notice as an e-notice the same day and by registered post, with proof of delivery saved.
- Negotiation and settlement. The advocate calls the buyer, explains the consequences and agrees a payment plan. About 60% of our cases close here.
- Filing if needed. MSME Samadhaan before the Telangana State Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council, a Section 138 complaint in the Hyderabad magistrate courts, a summary suit or arbitration, handled by the same advocate.
You pay nothing upfront. Our fee is 30% of the amount actually recovered; if nothing is recovered there is no fee. Court fees, where a matter is filed, are borne by you and told to you in advance.
