Business in Ghaziabad: where dues come from
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.
Main industries: steel and engineering, electronics and electricals, packaging, FMCG distribution, construction materials.
