Firstly, you will have to serve a legal notice to them asking them to the pay the entire amount within 15 days of receipt of the legal notice, along with interest

If they fail to adhere even after the receipt of legal notice you can proceed to file a suit for recovery against them in civil court for recovering Your lawful dues.

The stamped invoices can be used to establish contractual liability between you and your customer in court.

You first issue a legal demand notice demanding your dues, wait for his reply and then you may proceed with the proper legal action on such issues.

You are free to file a case for recovering this payment, but before doing so you must send this customer a legal notice giving him a final chance to clear the dues.

If he does not pays despite the legal notice, sue him in a case of recovery.

Sir firstly send him legal notice giving fifteen days time seeking for the amount due to you from him. If he fails to make payment of amount within specified period in notice file a suit for recovery of money in jurisdiction court along with damages. Secondly you can file case based on receipts and stamped invoice.

1. Serve a lawyer's notice to hjm to release the payments forthwith.

2. If he does not release even after lawyer's notice then a suit for recovery of money can be filed to claim the principal amount with interest, compensation and litigation cost.

3. The suit can be filed on the basis of transportation receipts/stamped invoice.
