Reconciliation disputes are usually what delay pharma payments, so the notice should attach a clear ledger and separate undisputed dues from disputed credit notes. MSME units supplying marketing companies use Samadhaan; distributors with cheque dues use Section 138; agreements often have arbitration clauses.
Pharmaceuticals and pharma distribution in Chandigarh
Chandigarh serves as the administrative centre for Punjab, Haryana and the UT, so its vendors deal with three governments’ departments as well as Mohali and Panchkula industry. Government dues respond to Samadhaan, and the High Court is on hand for larger commercial disputes.
Manufacturers sell to marketing companies on 45 to 90 day credit; stockists and distributors carry brand dues against schemes, expiry returns and credit notes that are reconciled slowly.
Proof to collect
Typically purchase orders, batch-wise invoices, GRNs or stockist acknowledgements, scheme and credit-note records, and the distribution agreement.
- Avoid: unsigned credit notes and scheme adjustments
- Avoid: expiry and breakage returns with no agreed policy
- Avoid: loan-licence work without a written manufacturing agreement
- Avoid: distribution agreements with an arbitration clause nobody read
