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 Gurugram
Gurugram’s dues are corporate: staffing agencies, facility managers, consultants and IT vendors billing companies on Golf Course Road and Cyber City, and auto component suppliers around Manesar. Corporate contracts often include arbitration clauses and vendor portals, so the notice and the contract terms decide the route; MSME suppliers to the auto majors can use Samadhaan.
Forums: Judicial Magistrate courts, Gurugram, for Section 138; District Court, Gurugram, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Haryana Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council, Directorate of Industries and Commerce, Government of Haryana, Chandigarh.

If you are in it services, software and agencies in Gurugram
Milestone or monthly billing against SOWs and contracts, 30 to 60 day terms on paper, often 90 to 180 days in practice, with “scope” disputes used to delay. In the consultation we ask for signed SOW or MSA, acceptance emails, timesheets and deployment records, invoices and payment reminders, and the client’s acknowledgements in email or Slack.
What we usually advise: Service dues have the strongest paper trail of any trade, so a legal notice that quotes the contract and the acceptance usually works. Where the contract has an arbitration clause, that governs; otherwise a summary suit on the invoices. Small IT firms with Udyam registration can file MSME Samadhaan too.
- We check for: starting work before the contract is signed
- We check for: no written acceptance of deliverables
- We check for: milestones billed late or not at all
If you are in auto components and ancillaries in Gurugram
Scheduled deliveries against open POs, vendor portals, 60 to 120 day terms, bill discounting and frequent debit notes for PPM rejections. In the consultation we ask for schedules and POs, ASN and GRN records, portal acknowledgements, quality reports and the vendor agreement.
What we usually advise: Tier-1 and OEM buyers are exactly whom the MSMED Act targets: payment beyond 45 days attracts compound interest at three times the bank rate, and the Facilitation Council has jurisdiction where the supplier is. A notice citing Section 15 and 16 of the Act often gets the portal unblocked; Samadhaan follows if not.
- We check for: portal-based acceptance with no paper trail saved
- We check for: debit notes accepted silently
- We check for: price revisions agreed verbally
If you are in construction, contractors and building materials in Gurugram
Running account bills certified against measurement books, 10% retention held for months, and payment tied to the developer’s own collections. In the consultation we ask for work orders, RA bills and measurement sheets, site engineer certifications, delivery challans for materials, and emails about retention and defects.
What we usually advise: The notice must separate certified-but-unpaid bills from disputed quantities, and demand release of retention after the defect period. Material suppliers with Udyam registration use MSME Samadhaan; contractors go by notice, settlement and a civil or summary suit, or arbitration if the work order provides for it.
- We check for: uncertified RA bills
- We check for: retention never formally claimed
- We check for: extra work done on verbal instruction
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.
