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 government, psu and institutional supply cases
Bills pass through inspection, measurement, sanction and audit; delays come from paperwork, budget releases and staff changes rather than refusal.
Proof: supply or work order, inspection and acceptance certificates, GeM or portal records, bills submitted with acknowledgement, and correspondence about pending sanctions.
- We check for: bills submitted without taking a receipt
- We check for: inspection certificates not collected
- We check for: accepting verbal assurances across financial years
- We check for: not registering on Udyam before supplying
The route we usually recommend
The MSMED Act applies in full to government and PSU buyers: a Udyam-registered supplier can file MSME Samadhaan and claim statutory interest, and councils routinely decide against departments. A notice citing the Act, plus a reminder of Section 43B(h) and GeM payment rules where relevant, usually moves the file; the Council hearing follows if not.
Specific to Bhopal
As the state capital, Bhopal’s suppliers and contractors deal heavily with departments, boards and PSUs, and Mandideep’s industrial units supply electrical and engineering goods to large buyers. Government dues stall in sanction and audit; MSME Samadhaan applies to them, and the Madhya Pradesh Facilitation Council sits in Bhopal.
Forums: Judicial Magistrate First Class courts, Bhopal, for Section 138; District Court, Bhopal, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Madhya Pradesh Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council.
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.
