UGot into a pretty rough situation lately with an INDIAN client! I am a designer who works on contractor basis full-time. NEED ADVICE
In October I signed a 3 months contract which ended this 21st of January and as the date came closer they suddenly wanted to get everything in this world done not to mention the work culture they have!
Even after that I took care of all and the tantrums are on next level with knit-picking, micromanaging and expecting a lot in no time.
Okay! Dealt with all that and delivered good quality work with no hesitation during the time there was me taking care of all the decisions and getting feedback by sharing back to back with the CEO.CEO has no time and gets mood swings all the time so say there are 4 steps in a thing and when even after taking all the approvals and considering the changes you reach the 4th step and now all of a sudden they want to change everything.
Now as this became more of a checklist I created a dedicated timelint to provide the work in the checklist no matter how hard was everything until the last day everything was cleared with keeping them in loop.
As on monthly basis I share the invoice and again I did this time, what I received in reply was that everything will be cleared when all the deliverables and work will be submitted whereas all the work was done and submitted. It was shared that the work will be reviewed.
I didn’t asked for anything for two days straight and after it I did but it was shared that the work will be reviewed first. Here I stated about how it was all reviewed before and how much time do you even need?
I knew something was fishy also I did all my work with honesty and I never bluffed ever. Now they knit picked one of the things which obviously was left empty inside within a major thing which was not even in the scope.
Now I shared a long message regarding the terms of contract and I no longer will work on any revisions, with this kind of behaviour I was already furious and then again I asked to clear the invoice.
They stated it will be cleared next and there is no need to message now “You will get the know when will it be cleared”
I know there are excuses definitely and covering things on how one thing was not done.
HELP NEEDED!
I HAVE NO OTHER CONTACT DETAILS AS WELL EXCEPT FOR SLACK ACCESS WITHIN THEIR WORKSPACE FROM WHERE I CAN BE REMOVED.
P.s: I would like any advice for this and legal ways I can take if invoice is not getting cleared next week.

SDo not work for Indian clients, no matter their reputations. Even Indians do not want to work for Indian client. Let this be a lesson – next time do work only on pre-paid basis or inflate your rate so much that last installment is covered.. In India, the legal process is a punishment, stay away from it. Live your life in peace.
