In case yours is an MSME unit you may lodge complaint with the authority constituted under MSMED Act 2006. Otherwise you have to file ordinary civil suit in the court for recovery.

Job of MCA is to ensure compliance of company law provisions by companies and not to recover outstanding amount. It is the job of courts. Companies Act does not provide that a company must pay its dues on due date. It is violation of Contract Act.

Alternatively you can send a notice for winding up of the company if it is proved that the company is unable to pay its debts. In that case you will have to file petition in High Court for winding up of that defaulting company.
