Three stages, in Srinagar
What is different about Srinagar
The forum
Companies registered in Jammu and Kashmir are heard on insolvency at the NCLT Chandigarh bench. The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh sits at Srinagar and Jammu. There is no Debts Recovery Tribunal in the Union Territory — the jurisdiction sits with the Chandigarh tribunals — and in any case that route belongs to banks, not to trade creditors.
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. Jammu and Kashmir runs two councils, at Srinagar and Jammu, reflecting the two divisions.
The debtors
The debtor base here is handicrafts, carpets and pashmina, horticulture and cold storage, food processing, construction materials, tourism and hospitality supply, timber and joinery. The commercial belt runs through the industrial estates at Zakura and Khunmoh, with Rangreth and Ompora in the adjoining Budgam district and Lassipora in Pulwama.
What we see in Srinagar
Kashmir's horticulture trade sells apples and dry fruit to mandis across India through commission agents, and the receivable that results is one of the hardest in the country to document: goods consigned, sold by an agent in another state, and accounted for later. Recovery starts with reconstructing what was actually consigned and what was actually realised.
How we work a Srinagar 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 Srinagar 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 Srinagar for on-the-ground work, including industrial estates at Zakura, Khunmoh and with Rangreth. 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 Chandigarh 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 Srinagar businesses
Do you have an office in Srinagar?
No. Kenstone Capital is headquartered in Bengaluru and serves Srinagar 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 Chandigarh 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 Srinagar company actually be heard?
Companies registered in Jammu and Kashmir are heard on insolvency at the NCLT Chandigarh bench. The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh sits at Srinagar and Jammu. There is no Debts Recovery Tribunal in the Union Territory — the jurisdiction sits with the Chandigarh tribunals — and in any case that route belongs to banks, not to trade creditors.
We are a registered MSME supplier in Srinagar. 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. Jammu and Kashmir runs two councils, at Srinagar and Jammu, reflecting the two divisions.
