Consumer Law in India is regulated by Consumer Protection Act of 1986. It provides for establishment of consumer forums at various levels so that a speedy redressal can be made available to the ordinary consumers. Consumers can approach a consumer forum in case of violation their rights.
The law provides for the creation of District Consumer Redressal Forums at District level, e.g Delhi alone has ten District Consumer Forums functioning at different places. Jurisdiction of District Forums depends of the place of office of opposite party or the value of subject matter. The pecuniary jurisdiction for the District Consumer Courts is Rs 20 Lakhs, and while you need to approach State Commission in your state in case of value of goods/compensation claimed exceeds 20 Lakhs.
