I am new to business and have sold goods to a client who is refusing to entertain our calls and is ignoring us now. he was given a credit of 30 days but now has exceeded 120 days.
He tends to conviniently ignore our calls or talk to us. What options are available to make hime pay?

Send him a legal notice demanding your dues and ask him to pay within stipulated time failing which you can file suit in the court.

other option is lodge a F.I.R. AGAINST the said person for cheating or can file a complaint suit u/s 420 I.P.C.

file a FIR and move for cheating and 420 IPC and if he accepts his dues in writing or you already have then move civil proceedings for recovery of due amount.

I entirely agree with the views of Mr. Sarin and Mr. Rajkumar. Hope you are having proper documentary proof with you.

This is a commercial matter , no FIR will be registered . You have to move civil action only.

Yes i agree with your advocate. However before doing anything a legal notice may be sent.

Yes, dispute is of a purely civil nature so file a suit for recovery of money after issuing legal notice.

If you have documentary proof then only you can proceed for recovery suit. It will take lot of time.you can try for quasi judicial options.
