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 logistics, transport and warehousing cases
Monthly freight bills against lorry receipts and PODs, 30 to 60 day terms that stretch to 120, deductions for damage and detention disputes.
Proof: lorry receipts, signed PODs, trip sheets, rate contracts, monthly bills and the consignor’s acknowledgements.
- We check for: unsigned or missing PODs
- We check for: rate changes not confirmed in writing
- We check for: detention charges never invoiced
- We check for: working through brokers with no direct contract
The route we usually recommend
Freight dues are well documented, so a legal notice with the POD-wise statement works; damage deductions need to be contested in writing. Transport operators registered on Udyam can use MSME Samadhaan against large consignors; otherwise a summary suit on the bills.
Specific to Nagpur
Nagpur’s position at the centre of India makes it a logistics and distribution hub in Butibori and MIHAN, and a supplier base for power, mining and steel companies in Vidarbha. Transport operators and distributors here carry freight and stock dues from large companies; MSME units supplying PSUs can use Samadhaan, and the Nagpur Bench handles larger disputes.
Forums: Judicial Magistrate First Class courts, Nagpur, for Section 138; District Court, Nagpur, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits; the Bombay High Court Nagpur Bench for high-value matters.
MSME claims: Maharashtra Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Councils (regional councils for Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad and Amravati regions).
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.
