Please advise on the legal steps to recover the remaining amount from the client.
Question
I have an MSME certificate. I quoted a client ₹150 per creative and ₹40 per sheet. I delivered 113 design sheets, each charged ₹120, and 85 sheets of gumming paper at ₹40 each, totaling ₹16,960. She paid ₹8,000 in advance, leaving a due amount of ₹8,960. After delivery, she refuses to pay the full amount, offering only ₹4,000, arguing that I quoted approximately ₹13,560. The final bill reflects design and paper cost increases. Please advise on the legal steps to recover the remaining amount. She is stubborn

It is advisable to send a legal notice through a lawyer giving details of the quote and actual work done. Get mentioned the final rate which was not objected at the time of delivery and the paid amount along with balance outstanding. Demand for payment within 7 days, failing which you will initiate recovery under the MSME Act. if no payment is received within 7 days, file a Claim with the MSME Facilitation Council where ur MSME is registered
