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 Thrissur
Thrissur is Kerala’s gold and jewellery capital and a centre for ayurvedic manufacturers and building-material suppliers. Jewellery trade dues between manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers are high-value and relationship-driven; a formal notice with a clear ledger often resolves them before any filing.
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
