Corporate dues are recovered by reaching the right desk with the right document: an advocate's notice to the finance head and company secretary, attaching a complete statement and proof, and citing the MSMED Act interest and Section 43B(h) where you are a registered MSME, or the arbitration or summary-suit route otherwise. The free consultation maps the buyer's structure, checks your contract and recommends the approach. Nothing upfront; 30% on recovery.
Why corporate payments stall
- Invoice not matched to PO and GRN in the vendor system
- Missing vendor registration, bank details or compliance documents
- Year-end or quarter-end cash management
- A dispute raised by one department unknown to the one that ordered
- Staff turnover: the person who approved your work has left
The expert asks where in this chain your invoice is, because the fix differs for each.
Reaching the right people
A supplier's reminders go to the buyer's procurement or site contact, who has no authority to release payment. An advocate's notice goes to the registered office, the CFO or finance head, and the company secretary, who are obliged to deal with legal correspondence. It states the amount, the proof and the consequences, and it usually produces a response from the legal or finance team within days. 60% of FundRaksha cases end at this stage.
Contract points to check before the call
| Clause | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Payment terms and acceptance procedure | Fixes the due date; for MSMEs capped at 45 days |
| Dispute resolution and arbitration | Decides whether the route is arbitration or court |
| Governing law and jurisdiction | Which city's courts hear a suit |
| Liquidated damages or deductions | What the buyer may lawfully withhold |
| Limitation of liability or set-off | Whether the buyer can net off other claims |
Bring the master service agreement, purchase order terms and any vendor code of conduct you signed.
Routes and next steps
Registered MSMEs can file MSME Samadhaan against any corporate and claim statutory interest; the Section 43B(h) disallowance is a strong commercial lever with the buyer's auditors. Other suppliers proceed by notice and then arbitration under the contract or a summary suit for the fixed sum. If you decide to go ahead, a dedicated advocate is assigned within 24 hours of your complete documents and the legal notice goes out as an e-notice, followed by registered post. Nothing is charged upfront. If you proceed, FundRaksha Legal charges 30% only on the amount actually recovered; if nothing is recovered there is no success fee. Court fees, where a matter is filed, are borne by you and told to you in advance.
