Quality disputes raised after the due date rarely survive a notice that attaches the CoA and shows no complaint was made on delivery. Bounced cheques go under Section 138; Udyam-registered manufacturers use Samadhaan against larger buyers.
Chemicals, dyes and petrochemicals in Surat
Surat’s textile market runs on credit: weavers, processors and traders in Ring Road, Sahara Darwaja and Pandesara routinely wait 60 to 120 days, and parties in other states sometimes simply stop answering. Because many transactions are between traders, the right route depends on the paperwork: bounced cheques go under Section 138, manufacturers with Udyam registration can use MSME Samadhaan, and trading dues go by notice, settlement and a recovery suit.
30 to 90 day credit, often with cheques; disputes about quality, shade or moisture used to delay payment.
Proof to collect
Typically invoices with batch numbers, CoA and test reports, delivery challans and e-way bills, and the buyer’s acceptance or lack of timely complaint.
- Avoid: no CoA attached to the delivery
- Avoid: shade or quality approvals given verbally
- Avoid: long-standing running accounts with no reconciliation
