Consumer Protection Laws
What is the Consumer Protection Law?
In India, consumer protection is specified in the Consumer Protection Act of 2019. Under this law, separate Consumer Disputes Redressal Forums have been set up in every district across India, in which a consumer can file his complaint on a simple paper with a nominal court fee. And their complaint will be decided by the presiding officer of the district level. A complaint can be lodged by the consumer of both a good and a service.
​
Appeals can be filed to the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission and then to the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC). The procedures in these tribunals are relatively less formal and more people-friendly and reduce the time taken by the traditional Indian judiciary of years. In comparison, it also takes less time to decide consumer disputes. In recent years, several effective judgments have been passed by some State and National Consumer Forums.
​
The Indian Contract Act, 1872 lays down the conditions in which the promises made by the parties to the contract shall be legally binding on each other. It also describes the remedies available to the entire party if the other party fails to honor its promise. The Sale of Goods Act of 1930 provides certain safeguards to the buyers of goods if the goods purchased do not meet the express or implied conditions and warranties.Agricultural Produce Act 1937 The Act provides grade standards for agricultural commodities and livestock products. It specifies conditions that govern the use of standards and sets procedures for grading, marking and packaging of agricultural produce. The quality mark granted under the Act is known as AGMARK-Agriculture Marketing.
