Hi, You can make payment through online/Cheque and if the party is not delivered the product then you have to file a  case in the consumer court. It is better you can keep all payment bill so that it will help you.

Payment on delivery with proper bills/invoices with GST number is the  only guarantee against online purchases.

if B has not delivered goods inspite of receipt of full payment issue legal notice to B to deliver goods within period of 7 days of receipt of notice or refund money with interest 

 

2) purchase order should mention that if goods not delivered interest would be charged at x rate 

 

3) there should be arbitration clause in contract for resolution of disputes

- If the Party A placed order to Party B after paying even half amount then it will considered as an oral agreement between both the parties , and B is under obligation to fulfill to deliver the goods to A , otherwise A is having his right to take legal action against B to recover the paid amount with interest for the delay period 

- Hence, for the safety the Party A can enter into an agreement with B after mentioning the conditions of payment and delivery of goods . 

- Further, A being the consumer can approach the Consumer Court for the fulfillment of the order .

- Further, if the goods received by A and not make full remaining payment , then the B can recover the balance amount from A legally after sending a legal notice

1. No payment, no delivery. 

2. It is no the buyer, it is the seller who requires GST registration.

1.  If the seller has not delivered the goods even after receipt of full sale price and there is no agreement giving a time period till which the seller can hold the delivery of item, you may issue a legal notice demanding the delivery of the goods within a stipulated period, failing which you can initiate legal action for recovery.

2. You may have to make sure that you have proper documentary evidences to establish/prove the said transactions.

The seller can initiate similar legal action against the buyer for not making payment towards the goods supplied besides lodging a criminal complaint against the buyer. 

You can also file a suit for recovery of your money towards the goods supplied.
