Consumer Law — common questions

Where do I file a consumer complaint in Kolkata?

District commission where the opposite party works or the complainant resides, depending on the value of the goods or services. Kolkata has a district commission for the city and separate ones for the districts.

Is a lawyer required for a consumer complaint?

No, a complainant can appear in person, but a poorly pleaded complaint is usually dismissed on maintainability. A drafted complaint with invoices and correspondence has a far better chance.

How long does a consumer case take?

The Act expects three months where no evidence is needed and five months where it is. Kolkata commissions in practice take eight months to two years.
