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.
Auto components and ancillaries in Hubballi-Dharwad
Hubballi is north Karnataka’s commercial centre, with engineering units supplying railway workshops and OEMs, and cotton and agri traders dealing across the Deccan. Railway and PSU dues fall under the MSMED Act, and the Dharwad Bench serves larger commercial matters locally.
Scheduled deliveries against open POs, vendor portals, 60 to 120 day terms, bill discounting and frequent debit notes for PPM rejections.
Proof to collect
Typically schedules and POs, ASN and GRN records, portal acknowledgements, quality reports and the vendor agreement.
- Avoid: portal-based acceptance with no paper trail saved
- Avoid: debit notes accepted silently
- Avoid: price revisions agreed verbally
- Avoid: fear of losing the business, which lets dues age past a year
