Consumer Complaint

When we buy a product from the market we must be aware of consumer rights and what to do in case the seller gives us a defective product or indulges in fraud. The law that safeguards the rights of consumers and provides justice to them is Consumer Protection Act, 1986. It was then amended to Consumer Protection Amendment Act, 2002.

Main objectives of the Act

The main objective of Consumer Protection Act is to provide a platform to consumers where they can lodge complaints and settle disputes, at the same time, protect the rights of the consumers.

The Act aims to:

  • Discourage the marketing of goods that are hazardous to life or in any form and safeguard consumers from it.
  • Inform consumers about purity, quality, standard, quantity, potency, and price of goods so that the consumer does not fall in the trap of unfair trade practices.
  • Hear consumers’ complaints and assure them that their rights will be protected.
  • Seek redressal against fraud practices or consumer exploitation by mean marketers.
  • Educate consumers about their rights, the law, and how to judge the quality of products.

Situations when a consumer can file a complaint under the Consumer Protection Act:

  • When a product/service provider indulges in unfair trade practices
  • When the goods bought from a trader is defective
  • When the service taken or agreed to be taken is deficient in any aspect
  • When a product/service provider has charged a price higher than that mentioned on the label (MRP), or exhibited by him/her under any law in the current time, or agreed by both parties (buyer and seller)
  • When a product/service provider sells goods/services that are hazardous to health, life, or general safety of the public and/or environment

      Class Action complaint, also called Representative Action, is a type of lawsuit in which a group of people collectively file a claim in the court. These people may have suffered similar injuries or harm from the same product or company or service provider. The harm may be minor, but when many people suffer the same harm, they can come together to file a Class Action suit. This way, the minor claim adds up to become bigger in value and helps to consolidate legal help, witnesses, evidence, and other facets of litigation.

      Class Action suit was introduced for the first time in America in 1938 and in Indian in 2009 after the Parliament drafted the Companies Act. Sections 245 and 246 of the Act deal with Class Action suits.
