We are a recruitment partner with a real estate company in Gurgaon for more than 5 months and have helped fill two sales positions in Noida. Our agreement clearly states that the payment should be made within 45 days once the candidate joins the organization. Despite raising numerous complaints, our invoices have still not been cleared, and the payment has been due since September 2018. Unfortunately, they have now stopped responding and blocked our calls. I have already sent emails to the CEO and the senior officials as well, but have not received any response yet.
Can we take any legal action?
We have a signed copy of the agreement. Please advise.

As you have signed an agreement, what does the agreement say about "non-payment of dues" and the medium of settling disputes? Anyhow, you can send demand notices through a lawyer and file a civil suit in case they still don't pay. Another option is that you talk to them and take PDC in case they are facing a cash crunch. Punishment and recovery are stricter in cheque bounce cases.

Hi Rahul,
Thank you for the response. We don't have any clauses for non-payment dues or a medium of settling disputes in our contracts. However, everything else is mentioned for the payment and other points, and it's fully stamped and signed by the CEO of the company.
So, what action can we take or what advantages does the client have?
Thanks again for your quick response.
