Where vendor payments get stuck
- GRN not raised. Goods received, portal not updated; the payment clock never starts on their side. On yours it did: the Act counts from acceptance, not from the GRN.
- Debit notes. Rejections and short-shipment deductions applied without agreement.
- Portal invoices “under query”. Rejected for formatting while the dues age.
- Payment runs. Monthly cycles that push a 45-day invoice to 75 days.
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.
How we collect from large buyers
- We reconcile your ledger against POs, GRNs and portal records so the claim is exact.
- Your advocate sends a notice to the buyer’s registered office, CFO and company secretary within 24 hours, citing Sections 15 and 16 of the MSMED Act, Section 43B(h) and the MSME-1 disclosure.
- Most buyers clear the invoice at this stage; disputes on debit notes are negotiated in writing.
- If not, MSME Samadhaan before the Telangana State Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council, where PSUs and listed companies appear like anyone else.
