Business in Meerut: where dues come from
Meerut’s sports-goods and scissors makers and its printing and publishing houses supply wholesalers and institutions across India, often on open credit with cheques. Section 138 for bounced cheques and Samadhaan for Udyam units in Uttar Pradesh cover most defaults, and the NCR courts are reachable for buyers in Delhi.
Main industries: sports goods, scissors and cutlery, musical instruments, publishing and printing, sugar and agri-processing.
