Debt Recovery FAQs

Commercial debt recovery involves pursuing amounts owed by a business, company or other party in connection with commercial transactions, contracts, supplies, services or other business arrangements. Legal advice may be required to assess the claim and determine the appropriate recovery options.

It is generally advisable to obtain legal advice when a payment remains outstanding despite follow-up efforts, particularly where there is a contractual dispute, uncertainty about the legal remedy, or a significant amount is involved.

Yes. A lawyer can advise on and prepare an appropriate legal notice setting out the basis of the claim, the amount outstanding and the action required for payment.

Unpaid invoices may be recoverable depending on the underlying transaction, contractual arrangements, supporting documents and applicable law. The appropriate remedy depends on the circumstances of the particular claim.

Yes. Depending on the circumstances, outstanding dues may be resolved through negotiation, settlement or agreed payment arrangements without commencing formal court proceedings.

The appropriate course depends on the contract, invoices, correspondence, payment history and other available evidence. Legal advice can help determine whether a demand, negotiation, arbitration, litigation or another remedy may be appropriate.

A business may be able to pursue recovery of amounts due under a commercial contract, subject to the terms of the agreement, the supporting evidence and applicable legal remedies.

If a debtor does not respond or make payment, the creditor may consider other available legal remedies, depending on the nature of the claim and the applicable law.

The time required depends on factors including the nature of the claim, the response of the debtor, whether settlement is possible and whether formal legal proceedings are required. There is no fixed timeframe applicable to every recovery matter.

Relevant documents may include contracts, purchase orders, invoices, account statements, delivery records, correspondence, payment records, acknowledgements of debt and other documents supporting the claim.

In many cases, a claim for recovery of a debt is subject to a limitation period of three years. If a legally enforceable debt is not pursued within the applicable limitation period, a recovery action may become time-barred. However, an acknowledgement of the debt in writing, made before the expiry of the applicable limitation period, may result in a fresh limitation period being computed from the date of such acknowledgement, subject to the requirements of applicable law. The limitation period can vary depending on the nature of the claim and the circumstances of the matter, and timely legal advice is therefore important.

In appropriate cases, a creditor may initiate proceedings before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, where the statutory requirements for initiating a corporate insolvency resolution process are satisfied. A financial creditor may initiate proceedings in respect of a financial debt, while an operational creditor may initiate proceedings in relation to an operational debt, subject to the requirements of the Code. In the case of an operational creditor, the prescribed demand notice procedure must generally be followed before an application can be made to the NCLT.

However, proceedings under the IBC are intended for insolvency resolution and should not be used merely as a mechanism for recovery of an individual debt. The appropriate legal remedy will depend on the nature of the debt, the existence of any dispute and the circumstances of the case.
