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 Hyderabad
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.
Forums: 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: Telangana State Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council, Commissionerate of Industries, Government of Telangana, Hyderabad.

If you are in pharmaceuticals and pharma distribution in Hyderabad
Manufacturers sell to marketing companies on 45 to 90 day credit; stockists and distributors carry brand dues against schemes, expiry returns and credit notes that are reconciled slowly. In the consultation we ask for purchase orders, batch-wise invoices, GRNs or stockist acknowledgements, scheme and credit-note records, and the distribution agreement.
What we usually advise: Reconciliation disputes are usually what delay pharma payments, so the notice should attach a clear ledger and separate undisputed dues from disputed credit notes. MSME units supplying marketing companies use Samadhaan; distributors with cheque dues use Section 138; agreements often have arbitration clauses.
- We check for: unsigned credit notes and scheme adjustments
- We check for: expiry and breakage returns with no agreed policy
- We check for: loan-licence work without a written manufacturing agreement
If you are in it services, software and agencies in Hyderabad
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 construction, contractors and building materials in Hyderabad
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.
