The Late Fee Notice is an essential business document used when payments become overdue and the creditor needs to formally demand payment including additional charges for delay. This document is commonly used in Indian business transactions and must comply with Indian contract law, including the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and relevant financial regulations. The notice serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the payment default, calculates and justifies late fees, sets a clear deadline for payment, and often serves as a prerequisite for any legal action. It should be issued promptly after payment becomes overdue and include all relevant details about the original transaction, payment history, and precise calculations of late fees. The document is particularly important in maintaining proper financial records and can be crucial evidence if legal proceedings become necessary.
