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 packaging and printing cases
45 to 90 day terms against POs and artwork approvals, with payment delayed by claims about print quality or quantity.
Proof: POs, approved artwork and proofs, delivery challans and GRNs, invoices and quality acceptance.
- 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
The route we usually recommend
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.
Specific to Ghaziabad
Ghaziabad’s Sahibabad and Meerut Road industrial areas supply steel products, electrical goods and packaging to the whole NCR, often to traders who pay by post-dated cheque. Section 138 is therefore common here, and because many units are small manufacturers, MSME Samadhaan in Uttar Pradesh is available alongside it.
Forums: Judicial Magistrate courts, Ghaziabad, for Section 138; District Court, Ghaziabad, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Uttar 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.
