Instalment payment proposal Format

For a debtor proposing a repayment arrangement that requires creditor acceptance.

When to Send, How It Helps & Legal Dispatch Process

1. When to Send This & How It Helps

Send this proposal when your business or household faces genuine temporary liquidity constraints and seeks a structured, realistic plan to pay off an outstanding loan, credit debt, or commercial invoice. It is used to admit the undisputed principal debt, propose a fixed monthly instalment schedule, and request temporary forbearance from legal action or penal interest. Under Sections 62 and 63 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, it demonstrates good faith compliance, prevents aggressive collection tactics, and lays the contractual foundation for a formal binding novation or settlement agreement.

2. Process to Send (Email, WhatsApp & Speed Post)

You may share an advance copy via email or WhatsApp for immediate notification. However, India Post Speed Post is the most valid, legally robust, and statutorily recognized form of communication of notice in India. Dispatched through India Post, it creates an official 13-digit tracking record and establishes a statutory presumption of valid service under Section 27 of the General Clauses Act, 1897 upon delivery or tender.

3. Signing & Aadhaar E-Signature Validity

The document must be signed by the sender before dispatch. While physical wet-ink signatures on printed copies remain customary, electronic signatures are legally valid under the Information Technology Act, 2000. In India, Aadhaar e-signature (OTP-based) is the most valid, secure, and statutorily recognized form of electronic signature, carrying equal legal standing to a physical signature without needing printing or scanning.

Under Indian law, you are not legally required to engage an advocate to issue this notice. Senders have the complete legal right to issue formal demands and notices directly on their own behalf or on commercial letterhead.
