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 Tiruchirappalli
Trichy’s fabrication and engineering units are built around supplying BHEL and other large buyers, so delays are usually about approvals, inspections and measurement rather than refusal. The MSMED Act applies to PSU buyers, and the Tamil Nadu Facilitation Council is the route for Udyam units when the notice does not move the file.
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
