Non - Payment of Money
2 years ago
I am a freelance content writer. My client has not paid me for five months now. My client owns their own company in Pune, and I stay in Kolkata. Please tell me what should I do.

A.Try issuing legal notice to your employer through a lawyer seeking claim and if not replied or complied within 15 days than see if you feel the amount is worth than you may file a money recovery suit in civil Court. I am not sure if you will be able to seek relief from labour commissioner jurisdiction being in different city and freelance won't be included in labour and is more of a contract. Thank you.

A.Dear Client,
You may send the client a legal notice for the payment/ recovery of your money. To avoid a repeat incident, change your billing practices so that you start getting money for projects along the way, as opposed to waiting.
Let us know if you require any assistance.
