High-value and relationship-driven, these dues usually settle on a formal notice with a clear metal and cash statement. Section 138 covers bounced cheques, and a summary suit the rest; arbitration through trade associations is sometimes quicker.
Gold jewellery and bullion trade in Rajkot
Rajkot’s engineering units supply castings, auto parts, bearings and machine tools to OEMs and dealers nationwide, usually against purchase orders with delivery challans. That paperwork is what a strong notice or MSME Samadhaan claim needs, and small manufacturers here can have the case heard in Gujarat even when the buyer is in another state.
Credit against the day’s gold rate or on metal account, settled in gold or cash weeks or months later; cheques are common.
Proof to collect
Typically invoices and delivery notes with weight and purity, metal account statements, rate confirmations and cheques.
- Avoid: metal account with no periodic confirmation
- Avoid: rate disputes with nothing in writing
- Avoid: goods released against promises before cheque clearance
