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 Morbi: what is specific here
Morbi’s tile and sanitaryware makers sell through dealers and builders across India and abroad, often on open credit with large truckload invoices. When a dealer delays, e-way bills and transport receipts prove delivery, and a legal notice followed by a Samadhaan filing in Gujarat usually brings the dealer to the table.
Main industries: ceramic and vitrified tiles, sanitaryware, wall clocks, packaging and paper mills.
Courts: Judicial Magistrate First Class courts, Morbi, for Section 138; District Court, Morbi, and the Commercial Court for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers in Morbi file on MSME Samadhaan, heard by the Gujarat Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council (Industries Commissionerate, Government of Gujarat, Gandhinagar). The Council sits where the supplier is, so a Morbi 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 Gujarat Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council, where PSUs and listed companies appear like anyone else.
