Manufacturers supplying brands and EMS companies fall under the MSME Act and Samadhaan; traders chasing dealers rely on Section 138 for bounced cheques and on notices with e-way bill proof for open-credit dues.
Electronics, electricals and appliances in Bengaluru
Bengaluru’s dues are dominated by service invoices: IT vendors, staffing agencies, SaaS subscriptions and consultants billing startups and large companies in Whitefield, Electronic City and the ORR corridor. Written contracts and emails are usually strong, which makes a legal notice followed by a summary suit effective; garment exporters in Peenya and Bommanahalli have more conventional trade dues.
POs with 45 to 90 day terms for manufacturers; traders sell to dealers on open credit with post-dated cheques.
Proof to collect
Typically POs and GRNs, test reports, delivery challans and e-way bills, dealer agreements and cheque records.
- Avoid: price erosion disputes raised after delivery
- Avoid: warranty returns offset against dues without agreement
- Avoid: dealers paying by cheque that bounce after the goods are sold on
