FundRaksha Legal charges a success fee of 30% of the amount actually recovered from the buyer. There is no consultation fee, notice fee, retainer, drafting fee or appearance fee. If nothing is recovered, no fee is payable. Court fees and statutory charges, where a matter is filed, are borne by the client and are quoted and approved in advance. FundRaksha Collect, the reminder and mandate product, charges 1% of collections on the same principle.
Why a success fee is the right structure for B2B recovery
A creditor who has not been paid is short of cash. Asking him to pay a lawyer upfront, with no certainty of result, is why so many good claims are never pursued. A success fee turns the economics around: the recovery firm invests its time first and is paid from the result. It also aligns incentives in a way hourly billing never can. If we are paid only when you are paid, we want the fastest, surest route to payment, which is usually settlement after the notice, not a long litigation.
That alignment is visible in our numbers: 60% of cases settle before anything is filed, and 700+ businesses have been paid.
Exactly what is included
- Free consultation and case assessment, including a limitation check and a view on the buyer's capacity to pay
- A dedicated enrolled advocate assigned within 24 hours
- The legal notice, drafted individually and sent as e-notice and by registered post, with delivery proof
- Negotiation with the buyer, including reconciliation of accounts and drafting of any settlement agreement
- Drafting and filing of the MSME Samadhaan reference, Section 138 complaint, summary suit or arbitration claim
- Appearances at every hearing, conciliation and arbitration session
- Execution of the award or decree, including attachment proceedings
- Regular written updates and a shared record of every document
All of this is covered by the 30% success fee. There is no separate charge for any item on this list.
Exactly what is not included, and how it is handled
| Item | Who pays | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Court fee on a civil suit (varies by state and claim value) | Client | Quoted before filing; you approve; often awarded back as costs |
| Court fee on a Section 138 complaint | Client | Modest; quoted before filing |
| MSME Samadhaan reference | None | No court fee |
| Arbitrator's fee under a private arbitration clause | Shared by parties | Estimated before invoking; recoverable in the award |
| Process fees, certified copies, stamp duty on settlement | Client | Small amounts, told to you as they arise |
You will never discover a cost after the fact. If a filing is not worth its court fee, the advocate tells you so and recommends negotiation or a different route.
How the fee is calculated and paid
- The fee is 30% of the amount actually received from the buyer, whether as a lump sum or in instalments.
- On instalments, the fee is charged on each instalment as it arrives, not on the agreed total upfront.
- Interest and costs recovered from the buyer are part of the recovered amount.
- If you settle directly with the buyer after we have issued the notice, the fee applies to that recovery, because the notice produced it.
- If nothing is recovered, nothing is payable, and the file is closed with a written explanation.

Questions to ask any "no fee" provider
Before engaging anyone on a no-recovery-no-fee basis, ask: Is the notice free, or is there a "documentation charge"? Is there a registration or onboarding fee? What happens to the fee if I settle directly? Who pays court fees, and when am I told? What is the percentage, and does it change with the age or size of the debt? A provider who answers all five clearly in writing is worth considering. For the wider checklist, read best no recovery no fee agency and how to choose a debt collection agency.
