Money owed by an Indian party can be recovered through a legal notice, a commercial summary suit, a suit for refund, a cheque case, insolvency proceedings or arbitration. Workers misled by recruiting agents can seek refunds and file complaints under the Emigration Act 1983 and the criminal law. An Armenian judgment cannot be executed directly in India.

Money Recovery from India from Armenia: how it works
We review the contract, payments and messages, send a legal notice and, if needed, file the appropriate proceedings after pre-institution mediation for commercial disputes.
For workers, we file complaints against unregistered or fraudulent agents with the police and the Protector of Emigrants and pursue refunds.
Recovered money is remitted to Armenia through banking channels or paid into the worker's Indian account.
Workers who paid recruiting agents in India for jobs in Armenia that did not match the promises can also complain to the Protector of Emigrants, who supervises registered recruiting agents.
