Money Recovery Suit in Kolkata — Handled by Adv. Bhawna Yadav and Her Team
If a buyer, client, tenant, or borrower in Kolkata owes you money and isn't paying, we file and pursue your money recovery suit for a flat fee of ₹30,000 — no hidden charges, no "we'll quote later." We tell you upfront whether your claim qualifies for a summary suit under Order XXXVII CPC (fast-tracked for recovery on a written contract, bill of exchange, promissory note, or acknowledged debt) or needs a regular civil suit, and we handle the entire filing and appearance either way.
Where Your Suit Gets Filed
Kolkata splits its civil jurisdiction between two courts depending on where the cause of action arose and the value of your claim:
- City Civil Court, Kolkata — handles civil suits, including money recovery, arising within Kolkata Municipal Corporation limits, up to its pecuniary jurisdiction.
- Alipore Judges Court — the district court for South 24 Parganas, relevant when the debtor, the contract, or the property connected to the debt falls within that jurisdiction rather than central Kolkata.
We determine the correct forum based on where the defendant resides or carries on business, and where the debt or agreement was executed — filing in the wrong court delays recovery, so we get this right at the outset. Appeals and any writ-level supervision over these courts fall under the Calcutta High Court, and if your matter needs to move there — for interim relief, transfer, or in the rare case of a High Court original-side commercial suit for larger amounts — we appear there too, under the same flat fee unless the matter's scope genuinely changes, which we'll tell you honestly before any extra work begins.
How We Work With Clients Across Kolkata
Most of our Kolkata clients never need to step inside a courtroom themselves. Our process is built around this:
- Documents digital — send us the loan agreement, invoices, cheques, WhatsApp/email correspondence, or any acknowledgment of debt over WhatsApp or email; we prepare the plaint and supporting affidavit from there.
- We appear, you don't have to — Adv. Bhawna Yadav's team handles every hearing at City Civil Court or Alipore Judges Court, including summons service follow-up and, where applicable, the Order XXXVII leave-to-defend stage.
- Local knowledge, no local-office overhead — we know how listings move at both these courts and plan filings accordingly, without passing on any extra "local coordination" charge.
Kolkata Residents Living Abroad
A large number of our Kolkata-origin clients now live in the UK, Middle East, Australia, or the US and are owed money by someone still in the city — a former business partner, a tenant, a relative who took a loan. We handle these NRI recovery matters entirely over WhatsApp and video calls: you send scanned documents and sign a power of attorney or vakalatnama remotely (we guide you through the notarization/apostille requirement wherever needed), and we run the case in Kolkata on your behalf without requiring your physical presence at any stage, including execution proceedings once a decree is passed.
Why Kolkata Clients Choose Us
You work directly with Adv. Bhawna Yadav, not a call-center intake team or a rotating panel of juniors. We quote one flat fee of ₹30,000 for the full recovery suit process and tell you honestly, at the very first conversation, whether Order XXXVII applies, how strong your documentary evidence is, and roughly what timeline to expect at City Civil Court or Alipore Judges Court — no upselling, no surprise add-ons later. Communicate with us in English or Hindi, whichever you're comfortable in, and we'll take it from there.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to file a money recovery suit?
Our flat professional fee is 30,000 rupees, agreed in writing before we begin. It covers reading your matter, drafting the plaint, filing the suit before the correct court, and appearing at the initial hearings. There is no hourly billing, and only later stages of the litigation, if the matter is contested that far, are quoted to you in advance.
What is a summary suit under Order XXXVII, and is it faster?
A summary suit is a faster civil recovery track for debts that rest on a written document, such as a promissory note, a bill of exchange, a written agreement, or a clear acknowledgement of the amount. In it, the defendant cannot defend as of right and must first seek the court's leave, which makes it harder for a debtor with no genuine defence to drag things out. We tell you at the outset whether your facts qualify.
Do I need to send a legal notice before filing a recovery suit?
In most matters a formal demand comes first, because a great many debts are cleared once an advocate's notice lands. A loan and money recovery notice is the cheaper opening step and it strengthens the suit that follows, since the demand is already on record. If a notice has already been ignored, the suit is the natural next step and nothing spent on the notice is wasted.
Can you file a money recovery suit anywhere in India, and for me if I live abroad?
Yes. The right to recover a debt rests on central legislation, so a recovery suit works the same way wherever the debt arose in India, and we file before the court with the correct jurisdiction over your matter. We also act regularly for NRIs and clients overseas, taking instructions by call, video or email and carrying the matter in India without you needing to travel.
Can the suit be handled in English or Hindi?
Yes. We draft, explain and correspond in English or Hindi, whichever you are comfortable with. You will always understand exactly what has been claimed on your behalf and what happens next, in plain language.
Is there a time limit to file a money recovery suit?
Generally, money owed must be pursued within three years under the Limitation Act, 1963, though the clock can run from different points depending on your facts and any written acknowledgement of the debt. Tell us the dates and we will flag honestly whether your claim is still in time before we draft anything.
What documents do I need to prove the money is owed?
It helps to have whatever supports the debt, such as a loan agreement or promissory note, bank transfer records, cheques, invoices, or messages where the amount was acknowledged. A signed agreement is useful but not always essential, because a debt can be proved in several ways. Share the strongest version of what you have and we will build the claim on it.
What happens after I win the money recovery suit?
A successful suit ends in a decree, a court order that the money is owed and must be paid, usually with interest and costs. If the other side still does not pay, that decree can be enforced against them or their property through separate execution proceedings. We explain that route and quote it on its own if it becomes necessary.
