How to legally recover my money?

I completed and delivered video editing work worth ₹50,000 for a client several months ago. Despite repeated reminders over WhatsApp, the client has not made the payment and keeps giving excuses. I have all supporting evidence, including chats, invoice, and proof of delivery. Please guide me on how to send a legal notice and take further action.

Since you have invoices, chats, and proof of delivery, you can first issue a legal notice demanding payment within a fixed time. If the client still defaults, you may file a civil recovery suit under Order 37 CPC (summary suit for money recovery) or proceed under the Negotiable Instruments Act/Consumer Protection Act depending on facts. A lawyer can effective draft and send the notice on your behalf. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
