India Commercial Recoverability Outlook

The annual report on the question every claimant, CFO and board should ask before spending on a dispute: will this claim convert to cash?

(Report PDF in production, registration collects interest until publication.)

Abstract

Indian businesses systematically under-recover. Claims with genuine merit are written off because litigation cost, delay and enforcement friction make pursuit feel irrational, while counterparties price that hesitation into their behaviour.

This report reframes disputes as a recoverability problem. (Full findings pending publication; key-finding placeholders below are illustrative and bracketed.)

Key Findings (Preview)

(Illustrative: a majority of surveyed write-offs showed recoverable characteristics on the framework's five dimensions.)

(Illustrative: enforcement, not judgment, is where most recoveries stall.)

(Illustrative: funded claimants settle earlier and at higher realisation than self-funded claimants in comparable matters.)
