Three stages, in Ahmedabad
What is different about Ahmedabad
The forum
Ahmedabad is the seat of both the NCLT Ahmedabad bench, which covers Gujarat, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, and the Gujarat High Court. Commercial suits are filed at the commercial court for the district.
If you are a registered MSME
A supplier registered on Udyam as a micro or small enterprise has a route the rest of the market does not: section 15 of the MSMED Act makes payment due in 45 days, and sections 16 to 18 let the supplier refer the unpaid invoice to a Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council instead of filing suit. Interest runs at three times the RBI bank rate, compounded monthly, and a buyer who wants to challenge the award must first deposit 75 per cent of it. Traders are excluded; the registration must pre-date the supply. Gujarat has been decentralising from a single council at Gandhinagar to regional councils including one at Ahmedabad; a supplier should confirm the current seat before filing.
The debtors
The debtor base here is textiles and denim, chemicals and dyes, pharmaceuticals, engineering and auto assembly at Sanand, ceramics trading, financial and professional services. The commercial belt runs through Naroda, Odhav, Vatva, Narol, Kathwada, Aslali, Changodar, Bavla and Sanand, with the GIFT City financial district in neighbouring Gandhinagar.
What we see in Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad's textile and chemical trade is fast, relationship-driven and often documented after the fact. Orders move on a phone call and are papered later, which is fine until a dispute, at which point the creditor discovers the terms were never agreed in writing. Cheque-based settlement is still common here, which is useful: a dishonoured cheque gives a route under section 138 that an open invoice does not.
How we work an Ahmedabad file
The same six steps on every account, whether it is one invoice or a book. What changes by city is the forum and the ground work, not the method.
- 1
Intake and validation
Before anyone spends a day on your file, every debtor entity is checked: is it still trading, is it the entity that actually contracted with you, and is there anything to recover from. Where a Ahmedabad debtor has ceased operating we say so and recommend a write-off — which earns us nothing. That is the point.
- 2
A named practitioner, not a queue
The file is allocated to one practitioner who owns it end to end. You deal with the person working your accounts, not with whoever answers the phone.
- 3
Contact, on record
Every call, every promise to pay and every reminder is recorded on our collection management platform. When a promise breaks, the next step follows from the record rather than from someone's memory — which is what makes escalation a step rather than a fresh start.
- 4
Field work where it is warranted
Practitioners and field collectors travel to Ahmedabad for on-the-ground work, including Naroda, Odhav and Vatva. A field visit is a decision we justify to you, not a line item we add by default.
- 5
The escalation decision, stated honestly
We tell you when a claim is not worth enforcing, and why. Where it is worth enforcing, we tell you which route the facts support — a demand notice, section 138 where a cheque has bounced, a summary suit, or a section 9 petition at the NCLT Ahmedabad bench — and what each would cost and take.
- 6
Nothing filed without your written approval
No notice goes out and no matter is filed in your name until you have approved it in writing. The advocate's fee and the court fees are stated separately, before you decide.
What it costs. Recovery is charged as a success fee — a percentage of what is actually recovered, and nothing if nothing is recovered. The DSO Reduction Programme is priced separately, as a seat-based monthly fee. Enforcement is priced case by case, with the advocate's fee and the court or tribunal fees stated as separate lines before you approve anything.
A success fee on its own rewards an agency for working your easy accounts and letting the hard ones go quiet. How recovery is priced, and the three things we do that earn us nothing →

Questions from Ahmedabad businesses
Do you have an office in Ahmedabad?
No. Kenstone Capital is headquartered in Bengaluru and serves Ahmedabad from there. Practitioners and field collectors travel for on-the-ground work, and legal matters are run by advocates from our screened network at the NCLT Ahmedabad bench and the local commercial courts. We say this plainly because a debtor will ask, and the answer does not change what we can do.
Where would a Section 9 petition against a Ahmedabad company actually be heard?
Ahmedabad is the seat of both the NCLT Ahmedabad bench, which covers Gujarat, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, and the Gujarat High Court. Commercial suits are filed at the commercial court for the district.
We are a registered MSME supplier in Ahmedabad. Is there a faster route than a suit?
A supplier registered on Udyam as a micro or small enterprise has a route the rest of the market does not: section 15 of the MSMED Act makes payment due in 45 days, and sections 16 to 18 let the supplier refer the unpaid invoice to a Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council instead of filing suit. Interest runs at three times the RBI bank rate, compounded monthly, and a buyer who wants to challenge the award must first deposit 75 per cent of it. Traders are excluded; the registration must pre-date the supply. Gujarat has been decentralising from a single council at Gandhinagar to regional councils including one at Ahmedabad; a supplier should confirm the current seat before filing.
