Steel trade dues are large and time-sensitive: a legal notice within days, Section 138 for bounced cheques, and a summary suit for the balance. Mills and fabricators with Udyam registration can add MSME Samadhaan against corporate buyers.
Steel, metals and scrap trading in Ghaziabad
Ghaziabad’s Sahibabad and Meerut Road industrial areas supply steel products, electrical goods and packaging to the whole NCR, often to traders who pay by post-dated cheque. Section 138 is therefore common here, and because many units are small manufacturers, MSME Samadhaan in Uttar Pradesh is available alongside it.
High-value lots, 15 to 60 day terms, cheque payments and price-fluctuation disputes.
Proof to collect
Typically invoices with weight and grade, weighment slips, e-way bills and LRs, mill test certificates and cheques.
- Avoid: rate confirmed only verbally when prices move
- Avoid: weight disputes with no joint weighment
- Avoid: cheques collected but deposited late
