if you have waited so long for the amount from the vendor then why not now go legal and pursue the legal remedy. You may file commercial suit for recovery of the amount from the party. This will be quicker as compared with the regular civil suit because commercial suit is decided sooner.

Since the vendor in Navi Mumbai has failed to ship your goods for almost a year despite repeated assurances and is holding $11,000, you have legal and non-litigation options to recover your money. You can start by sending a formal legal notice through an Indian lawyer demanding immediate shipment or a refund within a set deadline, usually 15 to 30 days. The notice should clearly state the consequences of non-compliance, including civil and criminal action. Another option is to attempt commercial mediation through organizations like the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Indian Merchants' Chamber, or private mediation firms. Mediation is often a faster and more cost-effective solution than litigation. If the vendor is a member of any industry body, such as the Federation of Indian Export Organisations, filing a complaint with the relevant organization may put pressure on them to resolve the issue. If there is evidence of intentional deceit or misrepresentation, filing a police complaint under Section 420 IPC for cheating and dishonest misappropriation of property could prompt the vendor to settle quickly. If non-litigation methods fail, a summary suit for recovery can be filed under Order 37 of the Civil Procedure Code. This is a faster process compared to regular lawsuits. If there is a written agreement with an arbitration clause, initiating arbitration can provide a quicker resolution. If the vendor is a registered company, issuing a legal demand under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code may force them to settle to avoid insolvency proceedings. Since you prefer to avoid litigation, starting with a legal notice and mediation is advisable. If those do not work, escalation through police complaints, a summary suit, or arbitration may be necessary. Let me know if you need assistance.
