The Request For Payment Letter (Construction) is a critical document in the Indian construction industry used to initiate and formalize payment requests for completed construction work. This document is typically used when a contractor, subcontractor, or service provider needs to request payment for work completed according to the terms of a construction contract. It must comply with Indian contract law, particularly the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and various construction industry regulations including the RERA Act 2016 where applicable. The letter should include detailed information about the work completed, payment amount requested, and supporting documentation as required by Indian law. It serves as both a formal request for payment and a potential legal document in case of payment disputes, making it essential for maintaining proper payment records and ensuring compliance with Indian construction industry payment practices.
