payments defaulting

This discussion addresses the issue of MSME companies facing non-payment from a defaulting client for over seven months, despite the client claiming full GST returns. The client has a history of defaulting on multiple MSMEs and has provided a bounced cheque. While a bounced cheque typically allows for action under the Negotiable Instruments Act, the delay in filing a case due to the client's alleged accident means this route may no longer be viable. The recommended course of action is to file a suit for recovery under Section 12 of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015.
