Snag disputes rarely justify withholding the whole balance: the notice should separate the disputed items from the rest and demand payment of the undisputed amount. Udyam-registered manufacturers can use Samadhaan; interior contractors go by notice and summary suit or arbitration.
Furniture, interiors and fit-out in Hyderabad
Hyderabad combines a large pharma and engineering base in Jeedimetla, Balanagar and Pashamylaram with IT services in Hitec City and Gachibowli. Suppliers here often sell to other states on 60 to 90 day credit, and service invoices to IT and real-estate buyers stall in approval chains. FundRaksha is headquartered in Madhapur, so Hyderabad cases get the fastest turnaround on notices and hearings.
Advance plus milestone payments, snag lists used to hold the final 20 to 30%, and retention for months.
Proof to collect
Typically approved designs and BOQs, delivery and installation sign-offs, snag closure records, invoices.
- Avoid: no written sign-off at handover
- Avoid: design changes done without a variation order
- Avoid: final payment tied to a snag list that keeps growing
