Overview

Debt recovery services in Bangalore

The correct route depends on the parties, the agreement, the nature of the debt, the dispute-resolution clause, limitation and the available records. Early review can identify whether the next step is a legal notice, negotiation, a civil or commercial claim, arbitration, DRT proceedings where applicable, or enforcement of an existing decree, award or order.

Legal notices

Demand notices, replies and pre-litigation assessment based on the contract and payment record.

Money recovery suits

Money recovery claims based on invoices, loan records, services or contractual dues.

Debt Recovery Tribunal

Applications, responses and connected proceedings before the DRT where the statutory route applies.

Cheque dishonour

Advice and proceedings concerning dishonoured cheques and the underlying debt.

Execution

Enforcement of a decree, arbitral award or recovery order after it is obtained.

Choosing the route

Debt recovery is not one procedure. A private contractual claim may proceed as a civil or commercial suit, while an arbitration clause may require the dispute to be referred to arbitration. The DRT route is available only where the governing statute applies; insolvency proceedings serve a different statutory purpose. The agreement, identity of the parties, amount, records, limitation and relief sought are reviewed before a route is advised.

Building the claim

Useful records commonly include the agreement, invoices, delivery or service records, statements of account, acknowledgements, correspondence, security documents and proof of part-payment. Limitation is assessed against the particular claim before a notice or proceeding is chosen.

Execution and enforcement

Obtaining a decree or award does not itself result in payment. Enforcement may require execution or the procedure applicable to the relevant recovery order, with attention to identifiable assets and prior security. The enforcement step should be considered while the claim is being prepared.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

A notice is not always mandatory, but it is often useful. It records the demand, fixes the position and sometimes produces payment without proceedings. In some processes, such as an operational debt insolvency application, a notice is a statutory requirement.

Limitation depends on the nature of the claim and on when the cause of action arose, and may be affected by acknowledgement or part-payment. It should be checked before proceedings are commenced.

Proceedings before the DRT are available to defined categories of creditor in defined circumstances. Other claims proceed as money recovery suits before the civil court.

The decree is enforced through execution proceedings, which identify the assets available and the mode of enforcement. Execution is a separate process from the suit itself.
