Consumer Disputes Redressal Agencies Structure
The Consumer Protection Act establishes a structured system to handle consumer disputes effectively.
This system is organized into multiple levels, known as tiers, to ensure accessibility and efficiency in addressing grievances.
Three-Tier Agency Framework
The Consumer Protection Act mandates a three-tier structure for Consumer Disputes Redressal Agencies across India.
- District Level: District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum (or Commission).
- State Level: State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
- National Level: National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
Each tier handles disputes based on the monetary value of the goods or services and the compensation claimed.
