Payment Terms and Credit in the Surat Market

Advance, part payment and credit practice, and why a new buyer is usually treated differently.

Why it matters

Surat's saree trade runs on habits that are obvious to people inside it and invisible to everyone else. Most problems a new buyer runs into are not disputes about quality; they are mismatched expectations about quantity, payment and dispatch.

The short version

  • Settle the unit of sale first — catalog or piece
  • Get fabric name, weight and work type stated, not assumed
  • Fix payment terms before production, not after
  • Confirm who books transport and who bears the risk in transit
  • Keep a written record of the order, even on a phone message
