My Mumbai-based company is facing a tough situation. A client hasn’t paid their dues since 2013, accumulating over 3 Lakhs in outstanding payments. Despite repeated calls, visits, and emails, the situation hasn’t improved. I need some legal guidance:
1. What are the legal steps to sue them and ensure the outstanding amount is transferred to my account?
2. What grounds can I use to file a legal case against them?
3. How should I handle such clients in the future?
4. How long does it typically take for such cases to be resolved?
5. Can I expect compensation beyond the principal amount?

You can file a civil suit in a Mumbai court for recovery of the dues. You can base your claim on the breach of contract and failure to pay. To prevent such situations, include clear payment terms in contracts and consider legal recourse promptly after default. The duration of the case depends on various factors, and while interest may be awarded, compensation beyond the principal amount is subject to legal discretion.
