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 we look for in auto components and ancillaries cases
Scheduled deliveries against open POs, vendor portals, 60 to 120 day terms, bill discounting and frequent debit notes for PPM rejections.
Proof: schedules and POs, ASN and GRN records, portal acknowledgements, quality reports and the vendor agreement.
- 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
- We check for: fear of losing the business, which lets dues age past a year
The route we usually recommend
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.
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.
