Recovery of money and civil suits

Whether it is a personal loan, unpaid invoices or money due under an agreement, the civil law offers clear routes to recover it.

Step by step

1. Gather proof: agreements, invoices, bank transfers, and messages acknowledging the debt.
2. Send a legal notice demanding payment within a set time.
3. Choose the right suit: a summary suit under Order XXXVII CPC for claims based on written contracts, bills, promissory notes or cheques; a commercial suit for commercial disputes of ₹3 lakh or more (usually after pre-institution mediation); or an ordinary recovery suit.

Time limits

Most money claims must be filed within 3 years under the Limitation Act, 1963. A written acknowledgement of the debt or a part payment can extend this period.

How we can help

We send legal notices, file and pursue recovery and commercial suits, and seek orders to secure the amount while the case is pending.
