Free payment recovery consultation in Meerut

What happens in the consultation

1. You message us on WhatsApp or book a slot; a recovery expert calls at the agreed time (phone or video).
2. We go through the invoices, the order, the delivery proof and the buyer’s replies, and ask about the buyer’s pattern.
3. 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.
4. 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 Meerut

Meerut’s sports-goods and scissors makers and its printing and publishing houses supply wholesalers and institutions across India, often on open credit with cheques. Section 138 for bounced cheques and Samadhaan for Udyam units in Uttar Pradesh cover most defaults, and the NCR courts are reachable for buyers in Delhi.

Forums: Judicial Magistrate courts, Meerut, for Section 138; District Court, Meerut, 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 exporters and export houses in Meerut

Domestic suppliers to export houses wait on the exporter’s own realisation; exporters themselves face overseas buyers paying late or disputing quality. In the consultation we ask for POs and job-work orders, delivery challans, inspection and shipment records, invoices, and for overseas dues the contract, shipping documents and payment terms (LC, DA, DP or open account).

What we usually advise: Domestic dues from export houses are ordinary Indian claims: notice, Samadhaan for Udyam units, Section 138 and suits. Overseas dues need contract terms, ECGC cover where taken, and recovery in the buyer’s country; FundRaksha advises on which route is realistic before you spend on it.

• We check for: shipping before the LC or advance is in place
• We check for: no written job-work agreement with export houses
• We check for: letting overseas dues cross RBI realisation deadlines without an extension

If you are in engineering, fabrication and machine tools in Meerut

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 packaging and printing in Meerut

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.
