Domestic dues from export houses are ordinary Indian claims: notice, Samadhaan for Udyam units, Section 138 and suits. Overseas dues need contract terms, ECGC cover where taken, and recovery in the buyer’s country; FundRaksha advises on which route is realistic before you spend on it.
Exporters and export houses in Kanpur
Kanpur’s leather cluster in Jajmau and its hosiery and engineering units supply traders and brands across north India, frequently on 90-day credit with post-dated cheques. Exporters face a separate set of problems with overseas buyers. For domestic dues, Section 138 and MSME Samadhaan are the workhorses, backed by a legal notice that puts the buyer on record.
Domestic suppliers to export houses wait on the exporter’s own realisation; exporters themselves face overseas buyers paying late or disputing quality.
Proof to collect
Typically POs and job-work orders, delivery challans, inspection and shipment records, invoices, and for overseas dues the contract, shipping documents and payment terms (LC, DA, DP or open account).
- Avoid: shipping before the LC or advance is in place
- Avoid: no written job-work agreement with export houses
- Avoid: letting overseas dues cross RBI realisation deadlines without an extension
