The route that works
Brand claim disputes need a reconciled ledger in the notice and often an arbitration clause check; distributors registered on Udyam (where eligible) can approach the Facilitation Council. Retailer dues are recovered by notice and summary suit, or Section 138 where cheques were given.
How dues arise in fmcg and consumer goods distribution
Brand dues: scheme and claim settlements that lag months; retailer dues: weekly credit that becomes a running balance.
Proof that wins
The claim is built from distribution agreement, claim submissions and brand acknowledgements, DMS records, retailer invoices and signed delivery notes. The buyer’s own replies (“will pay next week”) are admissions; part-payments and signed ledger confirmations restart the three-year limitation period.
Mistakes that weaken a claim
- Claims filed late or without proof
- Agreements terminated without a closing reconciliation
- Retailer credit given without any written record
