Document background
The Notice of Late Payment Letter is a crucial business document used when payment obligations remain unfulfilled beyond their due date. This document is particularly important in the Indian business context, where it serves as a formal mechanism for debt recovery and compliance with legal requirements. The notice should be issued promptly after payment becomes overdue, typically after the grace period specified in the original payment terms. It must include specific details about the debt, reference to original invoices, and clear payment instructions. When drafting a Notice of Late Payment Letter, considerations must be given to various Indian legislations, including the Indian Contract Act, 1872, the Interest Act, 1978, and the Limitation Act, 1963. The document often serves as a prerequisite before initiating any legal action and can be crucial evidence in debt recovery proceedings.
