The consultation is free, by phone, WhatsApp or video, with no obligation. You learn what is recoverable, which route fits, how long it should take and what it costs: nothing upfront, 30% only on the amount recovered. If you proceed, a dedicated advocate sends the legal notice within 24 hours.
What happens in the consultation
- You message us on WhatsApp or book a slot; a recovery expert calls at the agreed time (phone or video).
- We go through the invoices, the order, the delivery proof and the buyer’s replies, and ask about the buyer’s pattern.
- You get an honest view: how recoverable the claim is, which route fits (reminders, legal notice, MSME Samadhaan, Section 138, summary suit or arbitration), a realistic timeline and the exact cost.
- If you decide to go ahead, a dedicated advocate is assigned and the legal notice goes out within 24 hours. If you decide not to, you owe nothing.
What is specific to Ghaziabad
Ghaziabad’s Sahibabad and Meerut Road industrial areas supply steel products, electrical goods and packaging to the whole NCR, often to traders who pay by post-dated cheque. Section 138 is therefore common here, and because many units are small manufacturers, MSME Samadhaan in Uttar Pradesh is available alongside it.
Forums: Judicial Magistrate courts, Ghaziabad, for Section 138; District Court, Ghaziabad, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Uttar Pradesh Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council, Directorate of Industries, Government of Uttar Pradesh, Kanpur.

If you are in engineering, fabrication and machine tools in Ghaziabad
Purchase orders with 45 to 90 day terms, frequent “hold” on payments pending inspection, and debit notes for rejections. In the consultation we ask for purchase orders, delivery challans and GRNs, inspection and test certificates, invoices and the buyer’s rejection or debit notes.
What we usually advise: Most engineering suppliers are Udyam-registered, so the MSME Act’s 45-day limit and statutory interest apply to OEM and EPC buyers, including PSUs. A legal notice followed by MSME Samadhaan is the standard route; large contracts often add arbitration.
- We check for: deliveries without GRN acknowledgement
- We check for: rejections not contested in writing
- We check for: tooling and development costs not covered by a PO
If you are in electronics, electricals and appliances in Ghaziabad
POs with 45 to 90 day terms for manufacturers; traders sell to dealers on open credit with post-dated cheques. In the consultation we ask for POs and GRNs, test reports, delivery challans and e-way bills, dealer agreements and cheque records.
What we usually advise: Manufacturers supplying brands and EMS companies fall under the MSME Act and Samadhaan; traders chasing dealers rely on Section 138 for bounced cheques and on notices with e-way bill proof for open-credit dues.
- We check for: price erosion disputes raised after delivery
- We check for: warranty returns offset against dues without agreement
- We check for: dealers paying by cheque that bounce after the goods are sold on
If you are in packaging and printing in Ghaziabad
45 to 90 day terms against POs and artwork approvals, with payment delayed by claims about print quality or quantity. In the consultation we ask for POs, approved artwork and proofs, delivery challans and GRNs, invoices and quality acceptance.
What we usually advise: Packaging units are mostly Udyam-registered small manufacturers supplying larger buyers, so the MSME Act route is strong: notice citing the 45-day rule, then Samadhaan with statutory interest. Artwork approvals defeat most quality disputes.
- We check for: printing without signed artwork approval
- We check for: dies and cylinders made without a PO
- We check for: short-shipment claims not answered in writing
What to check in any free consultation
- Is the person assessing your case an advocate or working with one? Ask who will sign the notice.
- Do they tell you when a claim is weak? A good assessment sometimes says “not worth pursuing”.
- Is the fee in writing, and what happens if nothing is recovered?
- Will the recovered money come to you directly from the buyer?
- Do they know the MSMED Act timelines, Section 138 deadlines and Section 43B(h)?
What to have ready
- The unpaid invoice(s) and payment terms
- Purchase order, delivery challan, e-way bill or proof of service
- Messages, emails or letters about the payment
- For a bounced cheque: the cheque and the bank return memo
Photos or PDFs on WhatsApp are fine. Missing documents do not stop the assessment; we tell you what to collect.
