Unpaid Seller
Those sellers who aren’t paid are unpaid sellers. The Seller of goods is deemed to be an unpaid seller when the Whole price hasn’t been paid; a conditional payment was made by bill of exchange, cheque and other negotiable instruments that have been dishonored.
In short, when the seller doesn’t get cash value for his goods in time he becomes an unpaid seller. While in credit sale it takes time for the buyer Tor the payment of goods sold.
In such cases, the seller isn’t called unpaid seller until the time-bound is crossed. Then after he 1s called unpaid seller.
Under section 54 of the Unpaid Seller Protection Act, a seller has right to reject a buyer’s offer and retake possession of the item.
The buyer must make an offer within three days after receiving notice from the seller that the seller is rejecting their offer. If the buyer does not make an offer, then the seller may take back possession of the item.
For example, Krishna buys a motorbike from Hari on January 1, 2004, and promises to pay the cost of a motorbike on 31st January 2004.
In this example, up to 31st January 2004, Hari 1Sn t called unpaid seller then after he is called unpaid seller.
