What to expect from the WCP Professionals
The professional would verify Udyam status, invoices, purchase orders, delivery records and payment history, assess eligibility and prepare the matter for the appropriate MSEFC process.
How the work would proceed:
- The professional would check the enterprise's Udyam record, the nature of its activity and the transactions on which money is outstanding
- They would organise invoices, purchase orders, delivery/acceptance evidence, payments and correspondence, then prepare a transaction-wise claim and check the appropriate MSEFC/Samadhaan route
- If the buyer disputes the claim, the response should be tied to the documents rather than broad assertions
- Eligibility and the applicable statutory requirements must be confirmed before filing
