On FundRaksha Trust you enter the buyer, the amount due and the invoice or cheque; a lawyer drafts the notice and the legal team reviews it; it is then sent digitally by email and WhatsApp (delivered in minutes and tracked in the app) or by registered post with an India Post tracking number and saved proof of delivery. Prices start at 749 RP for a digital notice.
How it works
- Fill in the details: the buyer, the amount due, and the invoice or cheque. Documents are optional.
- A lawyer drafts it and the team reviews it. Any questions come to you through the app.
- It is sent: by email and WhatsApp, or printed and sent by registered post with a tracking number.
- You are notified of delivery, and the proof is saved.
Trust's page describes each notice as prepared and reviewed by its legal team rather than generated from a template.
Digital or physical
| Digital | Physical | |
|---|---|---|
| Sent by | Email and WhatsApp | Registered post |
| Delivery | In minutes, tracked in the app | By post, tracked with an India Post tracking number |
| Proof | Delivery status in the app | Proof of delivery saved |
| Price (GST notice) | 749 RP | 1,199 RP |
| Price (cheque bounce notice) | 799 RP | 1,099 RP |
For a cheque bounce under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, the notice must reach the drawer within 30 days of the return memo, and proof of delivery may matter later. Many suppliers therefore choose the physical notice, or both. See cheque bounce notice.
What a good notice contains
- The full legal name and address of the buyer, as on its GST registration
- Invoice numbers, dates and amounts, or the cheque number, date, bank and return reason
- The amount demanded and the period given to pay
- For a micro or small supplier, a reference to interest under the MSMED Act
- What will follow if the buyer does not pay
If you want to see the shape of one first, the legal notice glossary entry and the final demand letter format show the structure.
When to send a notice, and when to wait
A notice is a step up. If the buyer is simply slow and still talking, a payment follow-up (from 99 RP) may be enough. Send the notice when promises have been broken, a cheque has bounced, or the buyer has stopped replying. Trust lets you escalate a follow-up to a legal notice from the same screen.
Worked example: a Vadodara electrical-panel maker has ₹3,40,000 due from a contractor for 75 days after two missed promises. It sends a digital notice (749 RP) through Trust, and a physical copy by registered post for the record. The contractor calls within the week to agree a two-part payment.
After the notice is delivered
Most buyers who intend to pay respond to a lawyer's notice within the period it gives. When they call, agree any settlement in writing: the amounts, the dates and what happens if a payment is missed. Keep the delivery record from the app, or the proof of delivery for a posted notice, with your invoices.
- The buyer pays: close the matter and update your receivables.
- The buyer offers instalments: accept in writing, with a default clause.
- The buyer disputes the debt: ask for the dispute in writing and answer it point by point.
- No response: choose the next route: MSME Samadhaan for Udyam-registered micro and small suppliers, a Section 138 complaint for a bounced cheque, or a recovery suit.
In every case, report the defaulter if the debt remains unpaid, so other suppliers are warned.
