Consumer Court
How to prepare and submit a Complaint to a Consumer Forum
Of late, I have appeared before the Consumer Forums in Mumbai on behalf of several consumers.
The procedure is simple, and the decision quite fast.
I have received a few requests to detail the procedure for filing a Complaint.
I am summarizing the procedure: But you can file a complaint before a Consumer Forum, only if you are a consumer.
You cannot not file a Complaint, if the transaction is business related.
First, you must be a consumer.
If you have purchased goods or services for your business, for example for re-selling them, you are not a consumer.
But if you have purchased goods or services, like medicines, computers, mobiles, etc. for your own use, or mediclaim insurance policies, you are certainly a consumer.
Secondly, you must give a notice in writing to the supplier or service provider asking him to rectify the faults, defects, etc.
The notice should be simple, clearly pointing out your grievances, and requesting the supplier or service provider to rectify the faults, defects, etc. or replace the goods.
Normally, you should give a clear one month’s notice.
You should address the notice to the nearest address available, so that if you have to file a Complaint, it will be in the nearest consumer forum.
Thirdly, the Complaint must be filed within 2 years of the cause of action.
If there are reasonable causes for delay in filing the Complaint, you can always request the Consumer Forum to condone the delay.
The Complaint: The following is the procedure for filing a Complaint before the District Forums.
(State Forums and National Forums have their own rules, but they are essentially the same)
Although it is not essential that the Complaint should be typed, it is always better to get it typed, double spaced, with at least 1½ inches of margin space on the left, top and bottom.
The Complaint has to be arranged in the following Order and you have to page number all documents.
1. Index giving the page number(s) of each document.
2. Application for condonation of delay (if there is delay), giving the reasons for the delay, duly affirmed before a notary public.
3. Complaint – containing details of the grievance, preferably arranged in chronological order; briefly giving the ground on which relief is claimed, and the relief (including legal costs, damages and interest) claimed.
The Complaint has to be signed by the Complainant.
4. You can appear before the Consumer Forums in person, or allow a close relative to appear for you.
But if you are engaging an advocate to appear on your behalf, you have to enclose a Vakalatnama, But then, your advocate will be doing all the paper work and attending the hearings.
If you are authorizing, your close relative to appear for you, you have to enclose a letter of authority.
5. Affidavit that the contents of the Complaint are true.
6. Copies of all documents on which you rely upon in support of your Complaint.
No of copies of the Complaint to be filed
You have to submit:
1 Original and 2 xerox copies.
In addition, if the Complaint is admitted, you will have to submit as many more copies as there are parties.
Where to file your Complaint:
The jurisdiction, that is the Consumer Forum, where you should file your Complaint depends on the amount involved.
I am summarizing the provisions below:
Amount Involved Jurisdiction
upto Rs. 20 lakhs District Consumer Forum
Rs. 20 lakhs to Rs. 1 crore State Consumer Forum
More than Rs. 1 crore National Consumer Forum
The Fee:
The fee, which is nominal, depends upon the amount involved. It is as follows:
Before District Forum:
For claims up to Rs. 1 lakh = Rs. 100
For claims from Rs.1 lakh to Rs. 5 lakhs = Rs. 200
For claims from Rs.5 lakh to Rs. 10 lakhs = Rs. 400
For claims from Rs.10 lakh to Rs. 20 lakhs = Rs. 500
Before State Commission: For claims from Rs.20 lakh to Rs. 50 lakhs = Rs. 2000
For claims from Rs.50 lakh to Rs. 1Crore = Rs. 4000
Before National Commission
For claims exceeding Rs. 1crore = Rs. 5000
The fee has to be paid in the form of a demand draft on a nationalized bank in favour of the President of the concerned District Consumer Forum (Registrar of the State or National Commission if the Complaint is filed in these places).
There is no prescribed format for the affidavit. I am giving a simple format which you can modify and use.
Format of Affidavit
Specimen Draft Affidavit to be filed with the Complaint
I,………….. The, COMPLAINANT ABOVE NAMED DO HEREBY SOLEMNLY AFFIRM AND STATE THAT I HAVE FILED THE COMPLAINT HEREIN AND REPEAT, REITERATE, REAFFIRM AND CONFIRM EACH AND EVERY STATEMENT MADE THEREIN AS TRUE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF.
Affirmation
In practice, you can get the affirmation done (or affidavit affirmed) before any notary public, but he will usually charge anything between Rs. 100 to Rs. 200; or you can affirm before the Registrar of the concerned Forum.
Actual Filing of the Complaint
You, or your advocate, will have to personally file the Complaint in the office of the concerned Consumer Forum.
The Consumer Forum’s office will go through the Complaint and point out any deficiencies.
You have to correct them and submit the Complaint again.
The Consumer Forum’s office will give you a short date for admission.
On this date, you or your representative has to appear and explain the Complaint to show that there is a genuine consumer Complaint.
This is a simple process and usually the Forum members are very helpful.
Once the Complaint is admitted, The Consumer Forum will direct you to submit more copies of the complaint (as many as there are respondents). These will be sent to the Respondents along with notice prepared by the Commission’s office.
If you have problems, you can write to:
Binoy Gupta
After receiving the reply of Complainant from Opponent can Complainant mae Amendment APplication in typographical errors and in prayers. Does the Complaiant needs to file another Affidavit in this regard
Typographical errors do not really matter.
But you can not add new prayers under this pretext.
But if you still concerned, submit a simple letter pointing out the errors
To the forum and do what the forum directs you to do.

My complaint number. is 19021107351dated 11 the Feb 2019 which is still not closed my Volta’s.
Number of times Im trying to call service center as well as ASM but they even don’t know how to talk with a customer .
Not expecting such kind of service from Volta’s.
Very helpful particularly US those who can file with little technical guidance.
Please provide case laws whereby the condonation of delay was allowed to the consumer in filing of the consumer complaint beyond the period of 2 years.
Condonation of delay is allowed only when the delay can be satsfactorily explained.
Pl. give the reasons for the delay in this case, then I would be in a position to advise.

Hi
I have send a parcel via Dtdc courier company and they havent yet delivered it to destination.The parcel contained Old Indian currency notes for collection purpose worth Rs.5000/-
Am I supposed to complaint against Dtdc to consumer court in this issue?
Please reply me
To the best of my knowledge, you cannot send currency notes through courier. Please check the consignment note of the courier company, which may have this clearly written in the fine print.
Thanks Mr.Yazdi for the reply.
But I have been sending and also receiving Old Currency notes and old coins through different couriers.Its the first time I came across such a situation.The courier officials were quiet irresponsive about this matter.
What can I finally do in this case?
its very useful to me… good work… 🙂

I have purchased a TATA NANO in Hyderabad, A.P. It is now over a year since the day of purchase. From day one of purchase the car has been giving problems. The past six months and more I have been writing emails and making phone calls to the concerned TATA motors staff in Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad but No one seems interested in responding to my complaints, even after informing them that I will publish my Email correspondence in the News papers and submit the same to the consumer Forum. The only response I get is from the dealer’s workshop in Hyderabad making excuses on behalf of the TATA motors staff.
I have complete Email correspondence proof of over six months which I want to submit to the Consumer Forum.
Please advise me How I should go around filing the same and Please help me with the address of the Consumer Forum in Hyderabad, A.P. so that I can approach them personally.
I thank you in anticipation.

I had ordered a mobile phone (Micromax A116 Canvas HD) on naaptol.com on 8th APR. 2013. Order No. 6272211. For some reason it showed that the payment which i did from my credit card is not received by naaptol.com, to which i checked my Credit card details and it showed the payment was done, i confronted then with the screenshot of my statement to which they agree after at-least 10 days, then i requested then that i don’t want the refund give me the product. to which there one executive (Named Saddam) agreed and told me that ill get the product in next 7 to 10 working days. In the mean time on 19th APR. i received two different SMS’s on my mobile one says my product is already dispatched and will reach me in 7 – 10 working days and another saying my refund is being processed. Since the day i ordered this product i am calling them everyday and i get different responses from them. i am so frustrated with this portal. Now i want my money and also compensation for all the stress, trouble and headache i have been put through by Naaptol.com

According to me, typographical errors do not matter, unless it is a material fact which may change the argument altogether !

Sir,
I tired to book tickets online from pvr cinemas portal but was not successful. The money was deducted but no tickets were booked. Later, I received an email stating bad transaction with some ID stating that money would be refunded in 7 days. Now, its more than 7 days but I haven’t got my money back.
The phone number does not work as nobody picks up the phone, also tried by emailing but no replies.
On searching, I found that ‘n’ number of users are suffering from same problem.
Am I eligible to file a complaint against PVR group in consumer court?
thank you.
Yes you can file a case in the consumer forum.
Binoy Gupta
In most of the cases where the query is whether a complaint can be filed in a Consumer Court, we must remember the following :
1. The product or service should be paid for. You cannot take action for free products / services which may be found defective.
2. You should be a consumer – you should be an individual (not a company) and the product / service should not be purchased for trading or commercial purposes
3. You should have full documentation to substantiate your case. Phone calls must be followed up by written confirmations with acknowledgements.
Generally, if the above conditions are satisfied, you are within your rights to file a complaint in the Consumer Court. Please consult your legal advisor before you proceed, in all cases.

I had send a parcel via DTDC Courier Service and the parcel included old Indian currnecy notes and I was about to sell it for Rs.15000/- .But unfortunately the parcel was lost in transit I contacted DTDC several times and they are irresponsive in this matter.
Am I able to file case in Consumer court?
Pls reply
Dear Yazdi sir,
On 4th May there was my exam for which I should have received my admit card before 4th May but I did not receive it (even it has not been delivered yet) so I could not appear in exam due to which my money (1100/ rupees) time were wasted. I was waiting for this exam for 2 years. I checked the status of speed post it showed that the item was delivered on 22nd April at head post office but on asking at 27th April the post officer at branch office said that it was not delivered. I again inquired at 2nd May and got same reply. I also register an online complained on 27th Apr at http://www.indiapost.gov.in/ccc/PCStatus.aspx but never got reply. Can I file a case in Consumer court.
Yes you may file a case in Consumer Court against the authority conducting the examination for refund of your fees.
I have purchased a used SLR camera lens from an individual seller on an online forum in India. The age and condition of the lens was not according to the description mentioned in the online ad in the forum. I am currently trying to get in touch with him and try to get a refund. I had made payment in cash and being a used item I dont have any bill/recept.
If we are not able to resolve this to my satisfaction can I go to consumer court against the individual?
Since you do not have any documentary evidence, it sounds difficult. Try and contact the online forum like ebay from where you bought this from. They might help
Hi Mr. Yazdi,
I do not have documentary evidence regarding the payment. But I have emails stating the agreed upon price of the item and confirmation of dispatch of the item by the seller.
Would this work?

AVG
Sounds difficult in the absence of documentary evidence

i purchased a HTC One X which got some LCD issues in just two months! when i took it to service center on 16-4-13 they told me it will be repaired and given to you by 20-4-13, whilst stating the expected date of return on 18-04-13. its been like 22 days now and they have not repaired it and are saying that they have shortage of spares.
In the mean while i emailed and complained to the HTC India office directly via email,facebook and phone call on 25-04-13
The called me and took all the information on 26-04-13, then the next day called me up again on 27-04-13 to tell me that my device will be replaced via the service center and not repaired but it will take 10-12 days.
Yesterday (7-4-13) when i call up the service center they tell me that they have got no information and will not replace but repair the phone whenever they get the spares.
So its been like almost a month and i am without a phone. They could not arrange me for a spare phone and are not replacing my phone as well.
would you suggest a consumer forum complaint for my situation? and an appropriate time to complaint.
You seem to have a strong case. Please go ahead, after giving a written warning to HTC
i already emailed them that if they don’t give me the replaced handset or refund my money by Saturday I am filing a complaint in consumer court by Monday.
I have all the emails from them as well as my replies to them along with bill of purchase and job card details of giving it to service centre. I hope these many documents are enough or I need something else as well??
thanks for your guidance
Wish you all the best

When ALL disputes between cellular provider and subscriber is to be referred to arbitration, why do cellular companies file a complaint or suit to recover billing dues? Shouldn’t cellular companies too go for arbitration? Subscribers should take this defence before paying any bills..
Dear Mr Yazdi,
i have got one disputed transaction in my credit card account for last 1 year it was acknowlegeded by the bank & assured in writtedn email that it will be refunded soon but for the last several month only assurances come but not the money.
Should i file a complain ,if yes wther it will be accepted as bank companies have big legal system to shield our action.
Banking issues are best taken up with the Banking Ombudsman in your area. If that fails, you may approach the Consumer Forum
I recharged my mobile for Rs.100/- on 23.4.2013, the required amount is deducted from my bank account but when I check my phone no recharge had been […]i already emailed them regarding this they asked some details and bank statements etc. But after making many correspondence through e-mail they are yet to refund the amount to me.
I have all the emails from them as well as my replies to them and the bank statement I hope these many documents are enough or I need something else as well?? please reply.
If you have all the documents, you do have a case. But you will spend much more than the Rs. 100 that you seek to RECOVER. Think about it before you proceed
OK. Thanks. Regards

Hi Binoy just wanted to know what would be the quantum of compensation one can expect on mental agony by any vendor. As one off the packers and movers have damaged my goods (value can be assessed) and moreover the mental disturbance I’ve gone though during last 10 days wrt my belongings and they were quite irresponsible and unresponsive to my calls. I’m planning to file a complaint to get the compensation for damaged goods and mental disturbance during that period.
Get the damages / loss assesses and you would definitely get it from the movers and packages.
You can also claim and get reasonable damages from them.

thank you
For going to Consumer Court, you need to demonstrate deficiency of service. You cannot take them to court for giving you a product or service at an agreed price.
sorry can you be more clear ?
Price is something you agree to, when you enter into a contract with the seller. After purchasing you cannot dispute the price. You do not have a case based on an article stating that the price should have been lower
Sir i bought(Online Shopping) watch worth Rs.2000 with 6 months Warranty for the same from Fashionandyou in january,2013 .. But 2 months back, it stopped working.. So, After contacting them they asked me to wait for sometime, then after a week or so.. they asked me to verify the exact problem and so asked me to check this at local vendor.
After exchanging mails couple of times. they finally asked me to get the battery changed at the local vendor when it is the Product Manufacturer’s duty to provide the battery.
They assured me of the money in my Account(Rs.100). But then its been a month . i have not received any amount of money even after reminding them 2-3 times through email and each time they asked me to wait for 2 days…
Can i file a case against them??
I have the Original Invoice, the call details , all emails … everything…
If you have the evidence, you may proceed to the Consumer Court. Remember though that there will be a cost involved, which may well be over Rs. 100
No problem sir.. I will make sure that they will be fined heavily.. According to you how much compensation court will allow keeping in mind the problem, non- helping nature of the company’s executive and the time i have invested in all these things..
The main thing is how much time you think it will take to file the case, hearing and final decision..
It will all depend on how the judge reacts to the merits of the case. Wish you all the best !
Consumer courts do not award exemplary damages,
But only small amounts.
A case normally takes a year or so ….from filing to final order.

Sir,
I had booked a Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia tour with “Sachin Travels Pune” for 23rd december 2012 for 8 days. I had made a full payment of 137477 for it. I received a call on 18th december 2012 that the tour is canceled and my money would be refunded. I got a written letter on their letter head that they would also pay interest @ 9% till the time they refund the money. In february 2013, they gave me a check of full amount. But the check bounced. I gave them a written notice under section 138 to which they have not responded and they do not answer my phone calls.
Can i use the same notice or do i need to give another notice before filing a case in consumer court?
You can use the same notice for filing a complaint in the consumer forum.
Binoy Gupta
Thanks for the response.
Do i need a lawyer to file a case in consumer court in pune or can i file a case myself by following the details above?
With a lawyer, will the process be fast tracked?
What duration can i expect to get a resolution from the time that i file a case in consumer court?
Also, can i claim any compensation for lawyer fee etc. in consumer court?
Apurv
You can file the complaint in person…. You dont need a lawyer, unless you are short of time. A lawyer can not expedite the hearings. The case should take about a year.
You will get the amount paid, interest, some costs and damages.

Hello Sir,
I am suffering delay in order since last 1 month from yepme.com despite making prepaid payment.
The Authorities are very helpless to help me.
Being a consumer i wish to teach them lesson.
For a order of 1000 I had to make calls of more than 1500.
Some times, it is not only the money involved, but the way you are treated which hurts you.

My query: I am covered under United India Insurance Mediclaim. It is a corporate policy provided by my employer (NIIT Limited). Me and my dependents are covered under the policy. But the company is rejecting claims pertaining to my father’s hospitalization (in Dec 2012) due to CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) stating that it was a PED (pre-existing disease).
My mediclaim cover started on 03-June-2011 (prior to that covered under same corporate policy and by the same insurer but other policy from 06-Sept-2010) and my father was diagnosed of CKD in August 2011. I have provided all documents pertaining first time detection of disease and doctor’s certificate regarding it but when I asked the insurer ‘how could it be pre-existing?’, the insures states that the patient had BP and Diabetes so, this would be considered a pre-existing disease.
Can you please help letting me know what exactly should I do?
If you are having all the documents in support of your claim, you may proceed to Consumer Court for your claim. In this connection, you may refer to this news article, which may be of interest to you -> http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=MIRRORNEW&BaseHref=MMIR/2013/05/17&PageLabel=8&EntityId=Ar00800&ViewMode=HTML

Sir,
I had bought Sony Xperia z mobile 2 months back from authorised Sony centre, as the phone is water resistant up to 1 meter for 30 minutes i washed the screen under the water tap with all the ports closed but somehow water went through ports in the camera lens. when i reached service centre and said about the problem facing my device they checked it and said its water damaged so it doesn’t come under warranty. then i told them to repair the affected parts and i was ready to pay for it but they said to me they wont be able to repair it as the phone is water resistant they could replace it but i’ll have to pay 35000 RS which is the current cost of the cell phone. then i phoned to Xperia support regarding the problem and even they said the same thing.After no. of calls to different person in Sony department they said they’ll talk to Maharashtra head and then they’ll let me know what could be done. When i called Sony centre they said i’ll have to pay 20000 RS approx.
Sir when they sold the mobile they never said that it wont be repaired. if it cant be repaired by Sony they should replace it. The mobile price is 38000 when i bought it.
Please help me regarding the issue and how should i approach the matter in consumer court.
Thanks & Warm Regards,

Hi Sir,
I had received a call from HDFC Bank Karol Bagh, Delhi by an executive named ANNU (Ph. No. – 09136696514). She told me that they will provide special loan against a policy of 5%of loan amount in the interest rate of 8.5%.
I was requiring a loan of 10lakh thus I gave amount of 50,000/- for policy. The executive from HDFC Life named PRITAM HERKAL came to receive the required document for policy as well as a cheque of 50,000/- as policy amount from me.
After that they dispatched all documents submitted for policy to HDFC Bank executive. On 2nd March,2013 I received my policy papers (Policy No.-15861041).
The executive from HDFC Bank told me that after receiving the policy paper they will process my loan application and I will receive my loan amount on 5th April,2013.
They told me that on 2nd or 3rd April I will be receiving a confirmation call from them and then only they will send me the loan document and reference number of loan.
On 4th April,2013 evening I received a confirmation call from HDFC Bank saying that my loan is rejected but didn’t stated the reason behind the rejection.
But after calling again and again to the HDFC Bank executive she told me that I will be receiving my 50,000/- policy amount after 40 days without any deduction and with 9.5% of interest rate which is approximately 67,800/- as told by them.
Also on 6th April I received a call from HDFC life, they told me that they have received the cancellation letter of policy. And they will provide me policy amount with 9.5% interest.
On 8th April I tried to track the policy through customer care, but they told me that this is a fraud done to me and no such policy has been cancelled.
Please tell me how to file a complaint in consumer court and this will help me or not?
If you have the documents, you may proceed. But most of the communication seems to be on phone. How will you prove anything and whom will you file the case against, if the original cheat is absconding. Maybe you may have to go to the police in such a situation

Hello Mr Binoy,
I bought a Hitachi 1.5 tonne split AC model RAU518ETD from Vijay Sales, Gurgaon. It was delivered to me on 06/05/2013 and installed at my home by Hitachi Engineers on 12/05/2013. But after installation it never started. The engineer told me that there’s problem with the stabilizer.
I called Vijay Sales at the same time and they agreed to replace the stabilizer. I visited the Vijay Sales on 12/05/2013 and got new stabilizer after returning the old one. But the AC still did not work after installing the new stabilizer.
I lodged a complaint to Hitachi customer care on 13/05/2013 that AC is not working. They provided a complaint number for that. Next day on 14/05/2013, the Hitachi engineers visited and after diagnosis they figured out that there’s some problem in the AC itself rather than stabilizer as it was not working even without the stabilizer. They told me that they will open the indoor unit of the AC for repairing it which I refused and I insisted for a replacement.
After lot of arguments, the engineers agreed to replace the AC but now it’s around 10 days nobody is reverting back to me. I called Hitachi customer care around 5-6 times but they just say we are putting your complaint on priority and will resolve soon. As they are not entertaining the customer properly, I want my money back with interest.
Please advise if I can proceed for a consumer court case.
—
Regards,
Ritesh
Send them a notice in writing…..giving the facts. Ask them either to replace the AC or refund the amount paid within 15 days of receipt of the notice, failing which you will complaint before the Cosumer Forum asking for the amount paid, interest, costs and damages, etc.
Wait for about 20 days, if there is no satisfactory reply, you can file the complaint.

Sir, I am using Vodafone’s Post Paid plan since last two years, In all the bills over last two years I was given free internet usages, but suddenly This month I have been charged Rs 1500 for the internet usages made this month. On contacting the vodafone, they told my plan never had free internet scheme.So the charges are valid. I feel cheated since I was given free internet for last 2years which obviously put me under impression that My plan has free internet. they have no answer for why was it given to me for free for last 24months and all they say is charges are valid as my plan does not have free internet plan. No one is giving me satisfactory answers, can I approach the consumer court??
Yes. You can file a case in Consumer Forum.

I purchased my Maruti Ritz on 30th Oct 2011 from S K Wheels, Turbhe, Navi Mumbai
My vehicle has undergone all the 3 free services and other paint and repair jobs also from S K Wheels
Recently (on 19th May 2013) it so happened that I noticed that out of the four tyres mounted on my vehicle, only one of the tyres bears the code – 2511 which was the spare tyre and rest all 4 tyres bears different code which do not match to the pre delivery inspection report.
Another point to be noted is that the code were deliberately hidden on the inner wall of the wheels. All the Mag RIMs carry the same code. I suppose these are original as there is no
mention of the RIM numbers on service booklet or any document provided
to me during delivery. So i still trust that the MAG RIMs are the same
original. Only the tyres have been replaced cleverly.
I did not visited any other place for any sort of maintenance work as its a new car and does not requires any maintenance.
When i visited S K Wheels with my complaint they confirmed that as per their report the tyres which came along with my car was different, but they said that the servicing in which wheel balancing and rotation was done hapenned to be 6 months back, and now, they can maximum do is that they can offer me some discount on purchase of new tyre.
I tried calling and contacting Maruti but, they asked me to resolve with S K Wheels . Now can i go to consumer court as S K WHEELS have theft my tyres during service. I am in very much stress, its my new car …please help.
Give a notice to S K Wheels……they should have pointed out this during the servicings. Mark one copy to Maruti. S K Wheels is their sgent. If the problem is not resolved file a complaint in the Consumer Forum.
Should I send a notice marked the same letter (independently addressed copies) to SK Wheels and Maruti Suzuki, or should i send a notice to SK Wheels with only a CC to Maruti Suzuki for information. I have already raised a complaint with Maruti in this regards.
I have been writing to Mahanagar Gas Ltd for getting exorbitant readings. For the last 11 months I have been requesting to change the gas meter but do not do anything except acknowledging the complaint.

I purchased a Lenovo tablet last July. A couple of weeks later it stopped working and last Dec 2012 I decided to get it repaired. Till date I havent got a resolution to my complaint. I have been shuttled from one service centre to another and made to speak to several rep explaining my case. I have been following up with emails regularly but all I get is false promises. Lenovo refuses to refund or give me a replacement saying that it doesnt fall under that category. However, every service centre I have been to cite unavailability of spare parts since several months. Now I have been asked to take my tablet to another service centre. Does this make it a fit candidate for a consumer case? I have all receipts and email conversations saved.
Hello Sir,
I had visited one shop in pune to buy a food product “Bakrawadi”. when i entered in shop they gave me some type of big plastic card. then i proceed to counter to take bakrwadi, they packed product and swipe that plastic card, then i proceeded to cash counter given that plastic card to them and put that bag which contains bakrwadi on counter, i gave them my debit card to swap but they told me that facility is not available, then to take cash from my bag i moved a little to make space for others but doesn’t go far away, then i took the money out from my bag and paid the bill, and asked them for my bag which contains product, but in between the other person took my bag and left and this happens before i paid the bill and i was unaware about that and at the same time one security guard and cashier is present at counter. After bill payment when i asked them for my bag they told me that bag was taken by other customer and they blamed me for that and not given me other product and nor returned my money. so can i lodge complaint against the shop and shop owner?
what i want is product else at least my money?
I have receipt and CCTV footage of incidence.
please reply as soon as possoble.
pl.ref. my c omment dt 28-5-2013 and 29-5-2013 and your prompt reply pertaing to the deposit of rs 10,000/ .on 6-6-2013i n Man galore consumer forum, Manipal finance have taken objection for the general power of attorney stating that in the power of attorney executed by my son there is no specific mention of this fix ed deposit in the power of attorney. one sentence mentioning for all lawful acts to defend in the court, this power of attorney executed is there ,in it,and i pleaded this is sufficient to defend in this forum. complaint is posted for 21-6-2013 for maintainability .My son is abroad and for 21st i am unable to produce another power of attorney and even if produced after wards will it be dismissed that i am not the complainnt..In the certificate my name is mentioned as nominee since the said amount is deposited by me while he was minor-kindly advise me before i attend the forum how to proceed to overcome this problem
There is no need to give specific details of each deposit in the Power of Attorney.
You should also argue that the Forum need not be hyper technical and accept such technical submissions.
And in any event, you are the person who paid the money…..
If every thing fails….ask for a short adjournment…..

I want to file a case in consumer court against Public Ltd company Sezal Glass Ltd located at Kandivali Mumbai and its registrar Link Intime Pvt Ltd located at Bhandup Mumbai for violation of company Acceptance rule 1975 for Fixed Deposits. so pls give me address of consumer court to file a case against them in mumbai. I live at Mulund Mumbai so where should I file the case ?
Can you be more specfic?
Some more details.
Binoy Gupta
Link Time India Pvt Ltd the Registrar of Sezal Glass Ltd has given wrong calculation for premature withdrawl of my FD, due to which company Sezal Glass sent me cheque of less amount then actually due, I have given Complain letter to Link Intime & Sezal Glass and even sent the reminder through email and given them the correct calculation but they are not replying and Sezal Glass has said on phone to me they will not repay me the difference amt according to my calculation.and I can go ahead with my legal options.
I had invested on cumulative basis for 36 months @12.5% p.a but opted for premature withdrawl after 33 months, so amount should be calculated @ 1% less for 33 mths i.e @ 11.5% p.a.
According to company acceptance rule 1975 for premature withdrawl, interest should be reduced by one percent from the rate which company would have paid had the deposit been accepted for the period for such deposit had run.The rate of interest for which my deposit has run is 961 days and rate of interest for more then 2yrs was 12.5% P.a but as I have opted for premature withdrawl they should deduct 1% and pay @ 11.5% p.a but as I have invested on cumulative basis they should calculate interest on cumulative basis for premature withdrawl, but they are calculating on simple interest basis due to which I have to suffer a loss of Rs 7125/-
Yes you can file a consumer complaint in person.
You will get what you are seeking, interest on that amount plus token damages.

Most probably you will have to file your complaint in Bandra (near Chetna College).

Hello sir,
I had enrolled as a member for a ‘Gold saving scheme’ with a national repute jeweller. The scheme said 11 premiums of Rs.5000/- must be paid by me and 1 premium will be paid by the jeweller. On the completion of paying my last premium of Rs.5000/- i was told i can place the order on any ornament as it would take 30-40 days to get the ornament. One morning on viewing a state channel, which aired Rs.200/- hike in Gold rate per gram from the very next day. I rushed to the jeweller to place an order as i was eligible. Being a fashion designer and being in the panel of judging a Fashion show, I wanted a south Indian traditional haar. The patern what they had was not appropriate for my religion
hence i asked for their existing patterns, which they told me they have catered designs such as flower, maple leaf and so on…., to their variant customers. I insisted to see the designs before finalizing. The staffer mailed the head office for the catalog as i waited. Even after 1/2 an hour there was no reply, then there was another mail forwarded. That day I visited the showroom 3 times desperately wanting to place the order, last being at 8.15 pm before the close for the day. I also had taken the excessive which i would incur on placing a 60 grams ornament. The jeweler has a rule to pay a 75% of the rate of the ornament to freeze that day’s gold rate. The next day there was that forecast rise in gold rate by Rs.200/-. The Gold rate had shot up from Rs.2283/- to Rs.2483/-. The mail of the design, which the head office sent the branch showroom was forwarded to me for approval. I spoke to them that I would be paying as per the previous day’s price as the negligence was on their part as the excess amount would be huge as Rs. 200 x 60= Rs.12,000/- for no fault of mine. But they wouldn’t budge. I have mailed to them, spoken to the head office and branch managers and waited for 1 year 10 months but nothing has been initiated by them so far. Now i am thinking seriously to take the cause to the consumer forum for remedy. The whole idea was to buy ornaments in a saving scheme and by trusting this jeweler with a national repute with chain of other products, who has made me feel arm-twisted by holding my money and not being answerable to it, feel cheated, deprived of what I love and not getting what I saved for. I have a master’s degree in journalism and I socialize very often and I feel incomplete as this transaction has not come to any logical end. I have gone through trauma because of this experience and feel the sense of loss. And also made to feel like am nobody.
I want to personally attend this case without an advocate. What damages can I sought for in the consumer court? Kindly advise
Regards

You can certainly claim the difference, that is, the real loss plus Rs 15,000 as damages and expenses.
You may get the loss plus damages between Rs 2,000 and Rs 5,000

I have filed a Consumer Complaint against the Society for dereliction , deficiency and negligence in not replying my letters. It is at stage of Amendment Application filed by me and Opponents to reply. The Opponent continue to raise the issue that I have been harassing by writing letters, which is my constitutional right and as per bye-laws NO. 65 I have to communicate in writing and to get acknowledge the letters. The Sec has to reply within one month and final reply within 3 months, which they failed to do for more than a year. They did not give me minutes of MC for more than one and half years. My complaint is regd. not replying letters which has been admitted by consumer court while replying on the judgment of Bhoiwada Society in Mumbai resident got RS 7000/- from Society for not replying letters as Consumer court judgment. The Society is relying and preferring on oral communication which is not admissible in court. What is your suggestion. pl advice Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:37:16 +0000 To: s_shahbazker@hotmail.com
Your rights are separate from your Society’s grievances.
May be you are harassing them, or they feel you are harassing them, but they have to give you the documents you are entitled to…….
They can not raise the plea or argument of harassment in this complaint case.
They should limit their submissions to why they are not supplying you the documents….
Failure to do so amounts to deficiency in service….and you should get favourable orders.

Hello Sir,
I’m a student at the Global Institute of Management Science, Mumbai. I have paid Rs. 40,000 for internship in Singapore few months back. After many follow ups they finally told me that my visa is cancelled (as the company doesn’t have any more vacancy). I had later asked for a refund of my money, this was around 2 months back.
Since then only 10%of my calls, emails & messages have been replied to.
I went to the local police station last month and a person from the college promised in front of the police that he will pay me on 5th of June. Later again I gave him some more time as the director of college was not in mumbai (as said by him) and he gave me in writing that he will pay me on 17th june. Yesterday when I called him, he said that you contact the director of college.
I have that letter as a proof, the receipts of the money I paid and also the message conversation is saved in my phone.
Kindly guide me through this. This is a big amount for me. If i apply online on Indian Consumer Complaint forum, will this be addressed and how long will this take to sort and get my money ?
Due to this, I have lost 6 months of my career and also money.
Please help.

You can certainly file a complaint in the Consumer Forum.
Claim the money you paid, interest, and compensation for the loss of one full year.
It should take about a year…..but you have a very good case.
You can write through the Indian Consumer Complaint forum, but I don’t know how effective they are..
You can join the Consumer Education & Research Society in Ahmedabad (membership is nominal) and take up the matter through them. You can find their address through google search.

Hello Sir,
I purchased sandals(with six months warranty) from a shop in bangalore.In two months,the product was totally damaged.I complained to the shop owner reg this,he said he will replace me with new pair,but later he said he cant give new pair instead he wil replace the base part though the sandal was damaged completely.He had replaced base part but not with same model base,instead he had put ordinary base.
Now he is neither giving me new pair of slipper nor returning the money.
Can i file complaint against him.
I think this is too petty a matter to approach the Consumer Forum.
But if you feel, you must fight for your rights, you can file a complaint in the consumer forum.

The complaint regarding Medi-Claim Claim settlement disputes were filed in the office of Insurance Ombudsman in Mumbai has remained unattended for nearly a year as the Seat of Insurance Ombudsman is Vacant since October 2012. Should one go ahead putting up complaint to Consumer forum ALSO. Within what time the complaint has to be registered with Consumer Forum. Can one plead for filing the complaint late to Consumer Forum. Can I also have the address of Consumer Forum offices in Mumbai. Is it necessary to file the complaint to Con. Forum office near to residence of the complainant or any office convenient.
You have to file a consumer complaint within 2 years of rejection.
You have to file the complaint in the forum in whose jurisdiction the opposite party, or the insurance company is located.
Most insurance companies are located in south Mumbai.
The consumer forum for that area is near the ITC Hotel in Parel.

It may be difficult to get back the full amount.
Because you can not really fault the Immigration Agency.
But there is no harm in trying your luck.
You can argue that no fees can be charged or retained since no services were rendered.

I have received my Hair Transplant surgery 10 months before from a medical clinic. Before the surgery he commited to transplant 3000 grafts which he did not and also he ensured that i would get full growth of transplanted hair in 6-8 months.Although all are verbal commitment and I don’t have any written document for it.his all commitment was false. I have not got expected result. So I want to file a complaint against his medical clinic in consumer forum.But bad news is that unluckily i have lost the bill that i got from them against my payment. So what i have as proof only the bank statement as i made payment via cheque. So please advise will it be possible to file complaint in consumer forum with the help of the bank statement details where clearly mentioned that payment made to the medical clinic via cheque?

Hey Sir, I took an mobile insurance (Covers Liquid Damage and Breakage too) from GadgetCops. Few days back I was facing problem in its touch. Particular area of the mobile’s touch screen wasn’t working properly. That time the only problem was in phone is touch which needs to be replace only (As per company’s authorized service center). But I gave my phone to Insurance company for repairing so that my mobile will be repair under insurance and I don’t need to pay anything. After few days insurance company says your mobile touch is working fine now however some part of motherboard is not working and due this prob your mobile display is not showing full brightness, which means dim light on screen. I told them the day I gave you mobile there was nothing like that. Now they are saying that this mobile is not repairable because motherboard is very expensive and they can’t replace motherboard. Now I want to file the case against this company so please advice can I do the same.

Dear Sir,
My father had purchased Colour from Berger Paints for Our home painting, the product was applied in some parts of the house, then the same products were again ordered from the same dealer for more use….surprisingly the colour (Same Brand and Code which was purchased earlier) was giving a different shade, which had made the room colour a very very bad look….My father had brought up the matter to the notice of Berger paints through e-mail and was assured that the matter will be looked up, but their were no action from berger paints. Again a few days later I had given the same complaint in the Facebook page of berger to which assurance was made that the matter will be investigated.
The area manager of Berger called my father and replied that he will send the official representatives for physical verification. A few days later two officials from Berger visited the house and after checking the colour agreed that the colours were different and admitted their mistake and assured us that new paints will be send to us verysoon. But after my father’s followup the official never picked-up the phone again.
Now after more than a month,we are yet to hear anything from Berger. After my repeated requested in Facebook page of berger, their is no response.
Request you to kindly suggest how to proceed with consumer court.
You can certainly file a consumer complaint.

I live at Delhi.
I have purchased one Samsung mobile online from Sulekha.com on 2-4-12 as per bill for Rs. 5990/- but Address is mentioned of office at Noida.
I suffered one problem in Aug-12 that its mike was not working well. I had visited to their Noida service centre but they had not entertained; informed that connection problem is appearing.
Finaly, they had taken the call on 19-9-12 at Noida with similar problem. They had rectified it and given the handset after 9-10 days later but they had given few hard scratches on its screen that had been mentioned on their job sheet. They had never taken any action on this.
After two days, this problem had come again. I had given that set at Krishna Nagar, Delhi on 27-9-12 with similar problem with a complaint of earlier centre for scratches on body as well as telephonic complaint.
I had received the handset in Oct-12 working fine but scratch on body is not yet entertained. Then I had written a mail to customer care for this as well as extention of Warrenty period for that time they had kept the handset with them from complaint period.
In Jan-13, their customer care Ms Shradha has assured verbally for extended period as well as some disturbance of like similar problem as fiund earlier.
In the m/o March-13, I had got the similar problem with lot of disturbance in conectivity. I had got to their Noida centre but they had not entertained and informed as connectivity problem. From June-13, this problem has matured and handset unable to work. After that I have gone to remote location for official work. After coming at Delhi, I have given a mail to customer care and telephonic call.
They are calling that this call will be entertained on paid basis because your hand set has come to now out of Warrenty.
Dear Sir/Madam
I took personal loan for 85K from ICICI bank in 2005. The installments of repayment was 36 months. The bank is coming back to me during late 2012 and 2013 and claim that they have not received last 3 EMIs totalling to INR 7,000. The bank mentions that all remaining 33 EMIs have been paid out but for the last 3 installments. The loan was taken when i was in Chennai. During end of 2007 i moved to New Delhi in connection with my job.
The banker claims that they have send correspondence to my then chennai local address which i am not sure of. But they have never send me any correspondence regarding this to my permanent address of communication or on my email id or my permanent residence telephone number (all these were made available during the loan application) I am not an intentional defaulter. Had it been brought to my notice timely, i would have surely paid the last 3 EMIs to the banker.
Now that the banker is trying to reach me and claiming from me INR 18,000 which includes penalty and other charges. I tried to communicate with them asking why have not they contacted me all these years? for which they do not have a clear answer.
If i ask them for a waiver on penatly they threaten me stating that they would mark the loan account as ‘settled’, hence my CIBIL score would remain low as the banker would reflect the amount waived off as outstanding amount. Also, since my salary account is with ICICI for the past 6 years, they threaten me stating that they would mark ‘lean’ on my account, thereby i cannot make any banking transcation with ICICI until they recover the entire INR 18,000 from my salary account.
Can i approach consumer court for this?
Can i file a case in coimbatore which is my permanent residence or in bangalore which is where i work.? The loan was taken when i was in Chennai.
Need your expert advise please.

I have following questions, kindly resolve them:

4. Address/contact details for consumer forum in Delhi
Thanks & Regards,

You can use plain full scap ledger paper which you can purchase from any court vendor.
If you affirm the affidavit in the Consumer Forum, the registrar will do it free.
Otherwise, you can get the affirmation done before any notary public.
Normally, they want the fee in the form of DD from any nationalised bank.

Dear Mr. Binoy Gupta,
I had posted this request in March, 2013 and have not received any reply as of today. The problem remains unsolved with my Tata Nano and I have not received any response from Tata Motors to any of my correspondence. Every time I Email to Tata head office, the local dealer calls and not being the manufacturer are unable to resolve my problem which is related to manufacturing defects.
SOS please guide me how to address this issue.

I have purchased a TATA NANO in Hyderabad, A.P. It is now over a year since the day of purchase. From day one of purchase the car has been giving problems. The past six months and more I have been writing emails and making phone calls to the concerned TATA motors staff in Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad but No one seems interested in responding to my complaints, even after informing them that I will publish my Email correspondence in the News papers and submit the same to the consumer Forum. The only response I get is from the dealer’s workshop in Hyderabad making excuses on behalf of the TATA motors staff.
I have complete Email correspondence proof of over six months which I want to submit to the Consumer Forum.
Please advise me How I should go around filing the same and Please help me with the address of the Consumer Forum in Hyderabad, A.P. so that I can approach them personally.
I thank you in anticipation.
File a Complaint in the Consumer Forum.
I am attaching a web site giving addresses of the Forums in Andhra.

Dear Mr. Binoy Gupta,
As advised by you I am enclosing a Draft of my consumer complaint for your kind review and advise, so that I may amend the same for submission on your expert advise. I thank you for your advise and guidance, which is highly appreciated.
I,………….. The, COMPLAINANT ABOVE NAMED DO HEREBY SOLEMNLY AFFIRM AND STATE THAT I HAVE FILED THE COMPLAINT HEREIN AND REPEAT, REITERATE, REAFFIRM AND CONFIRM EACH AND EVERY STATEMENT MADE THEREIN AS TRUE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF.
I am writing this complaint after patiently writing and reminding the concerned Officers at Tata Nano for a responsible response to my complaints. Unfortunately no one in the company has taken my complaint seriously nor even read through my several Emails. (All copies of correspondence enclosed as proof). It only proves that the company is only interested in falsely advertising their product and selling and there is no after sales response from TATA MOTORS. They do not have one single responsible manager who is willing to reply to my complaints till this date of my writing this complaint.
My Tata Nano does not give me the Mileage of 25KM or any where nears it as advertised. This has been proven by SEVERAL of their own computer checks conducted on my car at their dealers work shop. (Computer printouts enclosed of last 10 driving cycles).
I have been facing problems with my Nano from just a couple of days of purchasing the car. Problems started from day 3 of purchase when the interior plastic window trims on both side of the front V shaped glass fell off and needed a WEEK to fix as the yellow buttons on which it is attached were not available in stock and the ones to which they were attached where broken from day one – Manufacturing defect.
Unfortunately, my Nano stalled on a dark street on road no: 3 Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, at 1.30 am. The car had done only 600KM. Calling the emergency 24/7 telephone number and Malik Motors garage, Two Mechanics drove in an hour later and gave me and my family a ride to my house as there was no Taxi nor Auto in a miles radius in the pitch dark street.
My Nano was taken to the Malik Motors garage.
FIVE days passed with no response from Malik Motors garage. I was forced to call Mr. Sunil Chitti – Mobile No: 9030001501 of Tata Nano regional office, Begumpet, Hyderabad to lodge a telephonic complaint. Action was taken and the next day a Mechanic from Malik Motors brought my car back to my residence. The 1000KM service was done at 600KM. When I inquired as to what the problem was with the car that it was kept in the garage for 5 days. I was mildly informed that it was a battery problem. FOR A MINOR BATTERY PROBLEM AT 600KM THE CAR REMAINED IN THE WORKSHOP FOR FIVE DAYS TO RECTIFY THE SAME. (The Malik Motor workshop staff thought me to be stupid enough to accept this silly excuse) A couple of days later I drove down to the Malik Motors garage and lodged a personal complaint with Mr. Narendra, GM Malik Motors Workshop, who was already aware of the problem through Mr. Sunil Chitti (Manager Tata Motors Begumpet, Hyderabad) based on my complaint with him.
My Nano has after this incidence been several times to the Malik Motors garage with complaints on the petrol consumption and the electronic petrol gauge not showing correctly where by I am forced to carry a Plastic container in the car as I ran out of fuel on crowded streets due to the faulty meter. The petrol tank under the front passenger seat was opened several times to rectify the defect but with no success.
My Nano went in for a second service after purchase at 4565KM on 30/8/2012 as there was NO PICK UP POWER IN THE ENGINE. The following list was provided to the Workshop for detail check up at this service:
• Check and change if necessary Petrol Tank and Float as Petrol meter faulty from day of purchase of car.
• Brake, both hand and foot setting.
• Check clutch as problem driving up hill and sound coming from clutch pedal.
• Fan belts need to check as sound coming from the belts in Idling and driving.
• Sound coming from steering column
• Engine making too much sound an sounds like an Auto Rickshaw
• A/c filter cleaning
• Check front electrical windows as sound coming when razing and lowering.
• Check Fluids – Radiator, Brake and Engine Oil.
• Check undercarriage for Petrol or oil leakage.
• Wheel Alignment and balancing. Inflate tires.
• Check Wiper blades etc. as it was rainy season.
• Install Side View mirrors on both sides of the car as my car came with only one on the right side.
Three days later on 1/9/2012 I picked up my car and was surprised to be informed that the clutch was replaced and I need to pay for the same. I had to visit Mr. Narendra, GM Malik Motors to inform him that I paid for full service and spares coverage warranty for my Nano and the charges were kindly waived. The car I was told was thoroughly checked and every thing were set right.
My complaint of low mileage and petrol consumption was met with an excuse that the petrol stations do not fill the tanks properly. A mechanic of Malik Motors accompanied me to the nearest Petrol station and after PHYSICALLY ROCKING THE CAR FROM SIDE TO SIDE FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES AND TO THE AMUSEMENT OF THE STAFF AND OTHERS AT THE PETROL STATION, MANAGED TO GET 17.26 LITERS OF PETROL IN THE CAR. (TATA MOTORS HAVE YET TO CONFIRM THE PETROL TANK CAPACITY OF A NANO).
After driving around for another month – there was no progress in the mileage and petrol consumption which remained at 10KM.
I tried to lodge a complaint to the owners of Malik Motors and their secretary diverted me to Mr. P.V. Krishna Prasad, C.E.O of Malik Cars. I took an appointment and personally met Mr. Krishna Prasad at Malik Motors show room on Banjara Hills, Hyderabad and related to him my problem. I was convinced by him that in a couple of days, he will request a mechanic from Tata Motors head office to check my car. This never happened and even after waiting for over three weeks and reminding him a couple of times.
A couple of weeks and reminders and finally posting my complaint on TATA motors internet site, I was called by Malik Motors workshop to bring in my car. I met Mr. Narendra, GM at the workshop on 16/10/2012 and was finally introduced to a Mechanic and I was informed that he is a specialist trained by Tata motors to handle such complaints.
A few nuts and bolts were tightened on the petrol taken under the front passenger seat at the workshop and with the Mechanic on the Drivers seat we again landed on the Petrol station near to the workshop. As noted by the Mechanic, my car already had 11 liters of petrol in the tank (receipts available as proof and photocopy given to Mr. Narendra). The exercise began once again of rocking the car from side to side for about 10 minutes to get the petrol tank to fill up, much to the amusement of the petrol station staff and the impatient line of cars patiently waiting to fill up. (A PERFECT ADVERTISEMENT FOR A NANO – SHAKE THE CAR VIGOROUSLY TO FILL PETROL TANK AND ACHIEVE 25 KMS). We managed to get this time 10.17 liters added to the already 11 liters in the petrol Tank (21.17liters). (DOES A NANO HAVE A PETROL TANK CAPACITY OF 21.17 LITERS????? ONLY TATA MOTORS CAN CONFIRM AND NO ONE THERE SEEMS INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE)
Still the Petrol meter was only showing ¾ full. We drove back to the workshop around the corner and again some nuts and bolts on the petrol tank were tightened claiming leakage which was physically not visible any where. We drove back to the Petrol station once again and again repeating the exercise of rocking the car managed to get 1.37 liters of petrol up to the neck of Tank inlet. The Mechanic was very happy and He drove my car with me on the passenger seat for a test drive around town. On return again we again stopped at the same petrol station from where we had filled earlier and repeating the shaking and rocking exercise we managed to get another 0.56 liters in the petrol tank. According to the Mechanic this exercise proved that we got a mileage of 15KM. I was asked to sign a paper that I was satisfied with the test which I refused and instead I wrote on the paper that Malik Motors should get for me in writing from TATA Motors that the NANO petrol tank has a capacity of – 11 + 10.17 + 1.37 + 0.56 = 23 liters. (Petrol receipts are available to prove this claim).
I Informed Mr. Narendra that I will drive the car personally for some more time and will return for a computer recheck.
I drove my Nano for a couple of months and returned to Malik Motors workshop on 13/12/2012 for a computer check on my last 10 driving cycles. I am enclosing a copy of the computer report for your kind information and best judgment. The average petrol consumption continues to remain 10 KM. My NANO has never made it to the advertised 25KM nor does any where near it.
On 13/02/2013 my Nano again broke down on the road and refused to start (KM reading 6882). Nano emergency road side assistance was called and Malik cars technician came after 3 hours. The car had to be pushed to a safe parking area causing great inconvenience to my family and self and other commuters on the road.
The technicians checked the car and reported that the fuel pump was not working and needs to be replaced. (This was the third incidence when the fuel pump in my Nano was replaced.) The Mechanics took my car to their work shop and returned the same the second day.
After exerting pressure on the Dealer Malik cars and Tata Motors through Emails, I was called by Mr. Narander GM of Malik cars work shop to bring my car to the garage as One Mr. Prasanna from customer care Tata Motors would like to check my car.
I took my Nano to Malik garage on 17/04/2013, THE MILAGE ON THE METER READING: 7000 + km ONLY. Mr. Prasanna after listening to my complaints sat in my car with two mechanics who drove the vehicle on a test drive. Problems were observed and discussed in Telugu which I as a non speaker of the language could not understand.
On reaching the garage I once again pointed out the problems I have been facing with my Nano and I was asked to leave the car in the garage for checkup. I was given a service car to use until my car was checked up and repaired.
On 26/04/2013, TEN days later, I received a call from the workshop that the car was ready and can be collected. When I went to the workshop Mr. Prasanna from Tata who was supposed to be there was not available and his Assistant Mr. Chetan Garg told me to go with the Mechanics for a test drive which I did.
I was informed a complete clutch assembly, cable, bushes etc., were replaced (NOTE: THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED) on my car, the RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY on the steering was replaced and the AC CONDENSOR CORE COMPLETE was replaced.
It may be noted that a problem with the Rack and Pinion on the steering assembly is a very serious defect and can cause a major accident. At 7000 KM this can only be a manufacturing defect which was casually attended at the workshop. In fact it is very seldom that the rack and pinion gives any problem and as such these parts are not readily available with workshops. This same thing happened at Malik cars workshop. The rack and pinion was not available and had to be ordered from PUNE.
Apart from the petrol consumption which it seems cannot be resolved; the following complaints still remain in the car:
• Engine still sounds like an Auto rickshaw
• On washing car, water seeps inside the doors and remains inside until the doors are opened and the water allowed draining through the small hole at the bottom of the doors.
• The petrol meter is defective from day one and never shows the correct quantity available in the tank.
• Battery Acid is leaking.
Let me inform you that even after having to face such major problems with my NANO, I have still recommended the Tata Nano to several of my friends and family members who have bought the car and are satisfied customers. This just proves that the NANO is a good car. IT IS JUST UNFORTUNATE THAT THE UNIT I GOT TURNED OUT TO HAVE SOME MANUFACTURING DEFECTS WHICH COULD NOT BE RECTIFIED.
I SINCERELY REQUEST THAT MY CAR IS REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AS I HAVE PERSONALLY GIVEN MY NANO OVER A YEAR (17 months) TO BE RECTIFIED OF ITS DEFECTS AND MISERABLY FAILED. YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY GIVEN MY CAR AND MALIK MOTORS A FAIR CHANCE BEFORE FILING IN THIS WRITTEN COMPLAINT FOR IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT OF MY DEFECTIVE CAR. IN 17 MONTHS MY CAR HAS DONE ONLY 9000 + KILO METERS AS IT HAS BEEN VERY SPARINGLY USED PERSONALLY BY ME.
AS COMPENSATION TO THE NEGLIGENCE AND INDEFFERENCE SHOWN BY TATA MOTORS STAFF, I REQUEST DAMAGES TO THE TUNE OF IRS. 350,000/- TO COVER THE LOSS ON PETROL, HARDSHIPS, INTEREST ON LOAN BEING PAID AND COSTS INVOLVED.
I would like to add here that I do not have any PERSONAL complaints against the General manager, and Mechanics of Malik Motors workshop. When ever I visited them with a problem, I was always welcomed with a smile, patient hearing of my complaints and their best efforts trying to solve my problems to the best of their ability. I would like to thank Mr. Narendra GM Malik Workshop for doing his best to keep consumers and clients happy contrary to the support he receives from TATA Motors.
While thanking you for your patience in reading through my petition, I request an immediate response and favorable solution to my long and patient suffering and the amount of money I have lost in petrol even after buying the most publicized high mileage car NANO from TATA.
Your draft is not ok.
Pl remind me in a day or two. I will send you an actual complaint.
You can then reword your complaint.

sir i got bread from bakery,after eating i came to know that bread smells kerosene and after eating that i got severe stomach pain and irritation in throat night fully i did not sleep and got hyper tension and head ache shall i file compliant on them and can get compensation from them ,sir
sir i need a guidance of do me a favour and reply me
Dear Jeevitha
I would not advise you to file a case in the Consumer Forum.
Firstly, you will have to produce evidence that the bread caused the problems.
Have you kept samples of the bread and sent them to some testing lab?
Secondly, the amount of compensation is too small….unless you can establish damages suffered………
Still if you feel that you should fight for your rights, file a Complaint in the Consumer Forum.

Am quite impressed with the postings and replies.
My case – I had taken a membership with Sterling Holidays – RED category (at a higher EMI). We could avail of holidays only after payment of 5 installments. Membership rules state that cancellation should be within 7 days to get back entire refund!! Also, in spite of preferred category, at the time of booking we were informed that firstly there is no preferred category and secondly bookings have to be done 3-4 months in advance!! Hence applied for cancellation. Ten people tried to convince us to continue but we realised that it would not work. However, they have refused any refund. Sent them a notice through ICRPC but nothing happened. Those guys are not at all effective, waste of time.
Now need to file my own case in Consumer Court. Could you help me with District Forum addresses please? I stay at Mahim and Sterling Holidays office is at Andheri and Chennai.
Thanks in advance

Dear Sir,
I bought a built-in Hafele HOB from a dealer on 12th June 2013 (Product Name: MINA Built in Hob 538.09.521) for 15000/-. But dealer gave a product that resembles / replicate the product that I have mentioned above and mentioned product item as “MINA Built in Hob 538.09.521” in Bill. But I am facing the serious performance issue with this product. So I have made the number of visits to dealer asking him to correct the product or provide the product mentioned in bill. But dealer denied stating “MINA Built in Hob 538.09.521” costs Rs 45000/- and the product he sold me is “MINA Built in Hob 536.09.521” the amount is right collected for this product ( mentioned its a clerical error while billing). So I offered him to pay the balance amount of 30000/- to provide me the correct product or product mentioned in the invoice. he denied stating goods sold can’t be taken back.
I have written him a mail to replace or correct the product but not yielded any results.
Could you advice me if I can challenge the dealer in consumer court.
Thanks

Hello, This is regarding broadband connection with Tikona, I had this connection for while, now I do not require it any more, I raised a request for disconnection/cancellation of the connection, it has been disconnected but I still face the following problem: They get the money in advance (Advance billing), though I clearly gave the disconnection request with enough time for them to perform the closure procedure, even I got a confirmation over phone that I will not be getting any bill for the next billing cycle, They have billed for the next period as well, for which I have never used the service, and they are also asking me to pay for the entire month for which I had already paid in advance! i.e. for May 2013 and June 2013, May 13th I gave the disconnection request! I have given explanation many times regarding this, but they keep calling me and sending me email for the overdue! But from my end nothing has to be paid! I received an email in which they have mentioned about collection agents/Legal action and etc… Please advise me what should I do?

Hi
I purchased an Hitachi AC in 2011. I have been facing the problem with the AC right from day 1. First there was a problem of indicator lights not working and then deflectors were not working. subsequently deflectors were changed thrice within 6 months of purchase. After about 2 years (Jun 13), the motor of the AC required replacement (which was paid by me). Within a month, the motor has again gone bad. Now Hitachi engineer says that motor and PCB requires replacement. Alongwith this, the remote has also stopped working within 2 years of purchase (for which I again need to pay). To me, this seem like a manufacturing/quality problem. Can I approach Consumer Court and claim for a replacement as there seem to be clearly a quality issue with the machine. Thanks.

Hello Sir,
I am a resident of Faridabad,Haryana. The Electricity is supplied by D.H.B.V.N
We had got the Electricity meter replaced almost 1 year back, as the Electricity Board(DHBVN) advised it is end customers responsibility to pay for the replacement. (Meter was although still provided by them)
Post that, today when the Electricity board person came for meter reading, he found meter is faulty again.
This has made us really frustrated. It’s been hardly 1 year and we have to get teh meter replaced again.
Is there any advantage of going to the Consumer Court against the Electricity board for this issue , based on your experience ?
If Yes, what all documents should i have
Appreciate your valuable suggestion.

I asked explanation and status report twice but he did not reply. after receiving the second letter he send me a legal notice as if I agreed to give more money and now evade to do so. I did not singed anything otherthan our agreement and did not give any approval to anythin neither he informed me in writing on extra works otherthan agreed upon.

Hi
My name is Vishal Khandelwal
And my reliance data card number is 8443853111.
I don’t know what is happening with me. I have called up the customer care and informed that my data card connection was lost in d 1st month only,
I have called up the customer care number today I.e 180030005555 and they said that they don’t have my details in their system. For them I do not exist.
But I have got orders from civil court and now a lady called up and said that I have got a courier from delhi RCIL which she will deliver at my home. I checked out on internet that a lot of customers have filed complaints about a lady confirming address to send courier which came from RCIL.
I called up customer care in the very first billing month that I have lost it and they said someone from escalation will call up and they have deactivated the connection but they did not. they again send me a mail for next month making the total to rs.2888. I have also come across article on internet where consumers have complaint about reliance’s false bills and hard calling which they do and foul languages they use.
I m sending a copy of this to consumer court forum as well.
Please give a resolution.

I issued a cancelled cheque of axis bank to a person on 25/07/13 for application of bank loan. He claimed to be an agent of Kotak bank and even showed me his id when he came to my place to collect documents. With same cheque he has withdrawn 35000 on 03/0813 from my salary a/c. Please help
Dear Somik
If the cheque was cancelled, it could not have been used.
Then the Kotak Bank is liable.
Check up with them first.
Go and ask to see the cheque – whether the cancellation is there, or the fraudster used some sort of vanishing ink.
My wife had ordered a product from Fashion and You on 31.05.13′. For which she had received a reply stating the delivery details. But after a weeks time ; when we tried contacting Fashion & you; they told us that the product has been already delivered to us. When we asked them to produce the POD receipt copy of the courier; they say its going to provide me the details & are not mentioning any timeframe for the same. I have spoken to their customer care on more than 10 occasions. The Courier partners were Beacon Couriers. I am not aware of their existing in our state too. How am I supposed to get the matter resolved.
Please guide.
Thanks & regards;
Atul Harmalkar
You can not file a case against the courier complany for the simple reason the seller has used their services.
But you can certainly file a consumer complaint againt the seller.
If is for them to ensure delivery.
Where are you located.
We are located in Goa.
You should file a complaint in your wife’s name, if she is the purchaser,
in the Consumer Forum in Goa.
Dear sir,
When you say that from 25 Lakhs to 1 Crore rupees settlement, it should go to State court. Does that mean that total value of the service/product should be between to 25-100 Lakhs or only the claim amount should be between 25-100 Lakhs. For example I have a under-construction property of 60 Lakhs, but the claim due to builder’s fault I am expecting around 1 Lakh, which forum should I file the case?
Also is email sent to the builder is enough for sending notice? Or should I send a registered post? Please advise.
Thanks,
Megha
Dear Megha
The jurisdiction is decided by the claim amount.
If you are claiming only Rs. 1 lakh, you have to file the case before
the District Consumer Forum.
Dear Megha
Even though emails are accepted, to avoid any complications in future, Issue notice by Regd. Post with A/D

Dear Sir,

On my hearing date Judge told me to make HCL a party, i made HCL service center a party, please guide me what would i do in this case now, i got the hearing date of 30 september 2013 now.
Dear Deepak
In Maharashtra, and several other states, the complaint has to be filed in a proper format.
Has the Consumer Forum numbered your Complaint?
If it has, there is no need to worry.
The Forum will issue notice to HCL, and hopefully your grieance will be redressed.
Binoy Gupta
Thank you Sir,
Yes consumer forum filed the case and i have the case number with me, i was just confused over making HCL a party, don’t i have to submit a notarised request or a letter to make HCL a party?

Janakpuri
New Delhi – 58
Sub :- COMPLAINT AGAINST HCL Service Centre ‘TOUCH’, JANAKPURI.
Sir
This is regarding my HCL Tablet (Y2), No. 512EDR010775. I had purchased my tablet on 29th July 2012 and on 8th June 2013 , i had submitted my tablet to the HCL service centre ‘TOUCH’ shop no. 5/126 & 5/127 Janakplace, Distt. centre Janakpuri, Delhi because of its booting problem.
Sir, this is to bring to your kind knowledge that, this booting problem of my tablet has been arisen by HCL service centre, itself only. In January 2013, my tablet screen has been broken and we had submitted my tablet to the service centre ‘TOUCH’ Nehru Place on 12-03-2013. They took 2 months to repair it, as per them parts were not available. Our experience remain so bad that after so many attempts and calls to the customer care, they had given our tablet back on 10 May 2013. After receiving tablet back, it start hanging on ‘ME’ logo i.e the booting problem. Then i submitted my tablet again for repairing which was already on the warranty period to HCL service centre ‘TOUCH’ shop no. 5/126 & 5/127 Janakplace, Distt. centre Janakpuri.
But this time its more then worst. First of all they hadn’t written any ‘Expected Delivery Date’ and asked us to come after a week. I asked them to provide me contact number so that i could confirm if my tablet is ready to receive before coming. They undoubtly gave me a number 011- 25615338 and manager, Mr. Umesh no. 8826729888. But they did not picked my phone call even once. Then i myself visited many a times but they said its under process. On 9th July 2013 Mr. Umesh had given me in written that they will give me my tablet back on 13th July 2013 and close the request. But after visiting on the date mentioned they said its parts are not available.
Sir, HCL customer care call charges cost us Rs. 2 per call. They keep me on hold long time which cost approximately Rs. 30 to 40 per call and every time i contact they even not bother to give me proper reply. After this when i try to contact them on email, they also not giving me positive response.
Sir, my tablet’s warranty has already been expired on 28th July 2013 and its on extended warranty for 2 months now and still my tablet is with the service centre. Its been more than 3 and half month that HCL keep my tablet with them ( 2 months before and more then 1 and a half month now). They had totally done a physically, mentally and financially harassment to me. I also don’t know whether my tablet works well after receiving back as its parts are not available as per service center.
Sir, i request you to take a strict action against the service centre and make a refund of my tablet.
Please look into the matter which became a very pathetic part of my life. I am a middle class citizen of India and even Rs. 1 cost valuable to me. After saving a part of my salary i had purchased the tablet and now this tablet cost me more then its original cost because of HCL services.
Kindly do the favour, i will be highly obliged.
Deepak
I do not know whether you have filed the complaint in any format.
You have to file it in a prescribed format in Maharashtra and other places.
You will have to make the Company …Opposite Party No. 1 and the service centre the Opposite Party No. 2.
You can send me the draft complaint on my email.

Hello sir,
I had purchased an Intel X900 worth Rs. 16,000/- about 8 months ago from a shop in Malad. The representative there assured me a 7-day replacement warranty wherein if any problem occurs the phone will be collected from your doorstep and repaired within 7 days,else it will be replaced.
As soon as I started receiving heating and network problems in my phone I contacted via calls and sms. After many times of trying they would finally reach me and simply ask to restore factory settings (which resulted in loss of all the data) and update my phone( although no update was available online).The problem got worse and more frequent day by day. Then I started e-mailing as phone lines were always busy. After some days, they asked me to submit the phone at one of their 5 pickup points in Mumbai. I did it but even after 15 days their was no proper response as the reply was it will be dispatched after necessary repair.
After several calls and emails, they said that they are unable to repair it and they would like to refund or replacement. But they are just giving some 9,500 back or go for another non-Intel phone.
After reading all comments here, I think I’m allowed to complain. But, I’m just a college student and don’t have any knowledge about these things.
Please help sir.

I have registered myself with one of the company based in Delhi to improve my credit rating (similar to somewhat satyam.com) They have taken almost 4500 rs from me in the month of July, for which I have a receipt. Since then no one has reverted to me. I tried calling them up several times but they promise me to come back to me, but no one follows up. Now in fact they have become so rude, that they themselves have told me to file a complaint in the consumer forum.. I am sure I am not the only one, but they must have cheated many others
Please suggest
I think we can write the Affidavit by hand and attach 100/- or above (according to require) postal order that is enough !!

Binoy, I’m a consumer. One day i went to flipkart.com and see they are giving all purfums for 74 rupees (Ranging from 1000 to 9000) i placed an order for 10 purfums. They immediately took the money and sent me email of payment received and a confirmation email saying it will be delivered on a date. The next day i received a email saying 4 of my items were cancelled. So i thought they were out of stock, Later all my friends orders were cancelled too. We called flipkart and they told us that was by mistake (technical error) and cancelled all the order and the refund to be done within 10 days. Only part of my order was cancelled i still had 4 items not cancelled. I immediately called the media and reported about the same. Next day media spokesperson called me to their studio with few other victims like me with the same reason. I spoke my heart out and also did the others, I also mentioned about the part of my order not cancelled. After few minutes the remaining items also got cancelled. Not to mention the media person called and emailed flipkart to come in to their studio for a discussion but they dint. After the few hours of the 1 hour discussion live on tv. Flipkart attorney email saying flipkart is sorry for the invoicevenice and has cancelled all the order for the manual mistake made. And they by mistake edited 50 rupees for a 4000 rupees perfume…… First of all the price was 74 rupees and secondly not all perfumes were 5000 rupees. Even their attorney were careless about the whole thing. Please advice if i can drag them to court and file for compensation?
Thanks for your help
I am Pravin Joshi, mobile connection user of RELIANCE (ADAG) from last seven years.
From last few days I am facing the problem of unnecessary balance deduction from prepaid account (9321605658).
I have been promised by the service provider to have the facility of having roaming free all over India but, as I cross border of my district the tariff for SMSs and voice calls increases to re.1 per voices call and SMS which more than thrice for my voice calls and for SMSs the normal price is re.1/100 SMS. And today I was in surprise to know that sum of INR 40 is been deducted from my prepaid account which is normally supposed to last for a month and a half.
I tried numerous times to connect to the customer care but failed each time. Although after many attempts when finally I was able to get to one of the costumer care executive that gentleman kept my call on HOLD and I think he forgot to get back to me or was it deliberately that ‘kind’ man only knows that.
I hope you will understand my situation and pay valuable but keen attention on it.
Waiting for your much needed response

Hi,
I am Somnath, I have purchase Toshiba LED for VIjay sales, in month of July, but in one month has been problem LED, i was complaint but he can not take action, purchase value RS.19000, please advice me
Sir, I bought tikona broadband connection in Jan-2013 and they made nice promises when i purchased it. I paid 1800 INR. However, even if they provided a connection, the broadband was not working at all. I raised a complaint immeidately and they even agreed that the society im staying in does not have the connectivity and that i should never have taken the connection (this was not told to me while the purchase). Its been 8 months now and this matter is still open. I dd not receive my money back. They taken back all the equipemnts from me and adviced me that i will be getting my payments in 14 days.
I raised this issue in consumercourt.in and its been 7 months since then. Still no positive response. Tikona has started threatning me to file a case against me for some unpaid bill amount. They have been doing this since last 3-4 months. Some person identifying as an advocate in delhi high court threatens me about all these. On the other side, when i call service center they say my concern has been sent to the concerned department and that it should be addressed very shortly.
I dont know what to do now. How to get justice? can i file a suit? Is there a solid case here? If yes, can I sue them for the financial and psychological damage? Kindly advice.

Sir,
I recently booked a flat in Gaur city (NE) 16 Avenue, M Block by giving 10 pc of booking amount. And then got the demand for next 30 pc. I paid most part of it, but for rest was dependent on the bank for disbursing the loan. The bank sanctioned my loan, but refused to disburse saying that property was not approved with the bank. On asking further, I have learnt that the builder has increased the number of floors against the approved site plan. The builder now says that it has submitted updated documents to the GNIDA authority for approval and will take another month.
The problem is that my due date for payment of demand letter is already past, and builder is keeping mum on charging me late fees. How can builder charge me late fees when the delay is at his end. Also, how can he sell units and raise demand letters for a property thats not even approved by the authority.
I am sending a registered post to the director of Gaursons to waive off my late fees for now.
What shall I do ??
Where is Gaur City? I presume it is in Gujrat.
What is the total price, and the penal interest the builder is asking ?
Refuse to pay it and file a complaint in the Consumer Forum if required.

Hi,
Thanks for your inputs.
Gaur City is in Noida Extension, UP. Total Property price is approx 46.5 lc. As per the Flexi plan, we are supposed to make payments every 6 months. Out of the current payment, just 3 lakhs are pending, and the builder is asking for 18 pc per annum late payment fees for the same.
I will be visiting the builder to talk face to face to see if things work out.
I had a Vodafone prepaid connection, But then around end of July I ported it to Airtel Postpaid by giving request on Airtel website, then I got a call from Airtel, after which they send their executive to collect the documents and Rs 200 as fees.
The connection was ported successfully within 7 days as they mentioned. But then I got an SMS from Airtel stating that my address verification has failed and they are disconnecting my outgoing calls.
After calling customer care, they re-initiated the verification process, During that period the outgoing calls were allowed.
But then suddenly without any notice, I found that the outgoing calls are not working when I needed them in an urgent situation.
After contacting Customer care again, they informed that Address verification has failed again and asked me to contact Airtel Relationship center, Then I visited Airtel relationship center, There to my surprise the address In their database was wrong and different from the document provided by me.
I told them about that error , but they expressed their helplessness in that and asked me to get a new connection.
After which I wrote to Airtel Nodal office, They sent a reply after 2 days stating that they are investigating, but no reply came after that.
Then I wrote to Airtel Appellate Office, still nothing happened.
That’s number is of immense importance to me and due to Airtel data entry mistake , I am suffering.
I have also got an email from them that a bill of rs 10 has been sent to my address (delivery confirmation), but I haven’t received any. so I requested them to send to my email
(Also I found that the process of Porting was carried out by Airtel agency named Yash Communication)
Please suggest what should I do in this matter.
Sir, I booked a hyundai i10 car from a showroom in Bangalore. There was an excess amount paid to them. I requested them to return. They did not. instead they started telling that I should give my loan account Number to them. i refused. They started contacting the bank and started telling the bank to cancel my loan. They I cancelled the booking of the car and asked to refund the entire money of Rs. 557410/= as I felt I was treated badly by the car dealer. Now the car dealer has refused the make the payment. He is telling that i must get a loan cancellation letter from the bank and then only he will refund the same. I have sent a legal notice and have complained to Hyundai company also. but it is one month up and they have not refunded the same. Can I send one more legal notice and after that go to consumer forum. Since my money is struck with them, I am paying the interest unnecessarily, Is there any other alternative to get my money immediately. How much time it would take from the consumer forum to get my money back. Can I file police complaint etc.
Pls let me know

Hi, i have a micromax funbook which is still under warranty & there is a strange problem of tab getting automatically getting switched off even when the battery is full. So far i have given this tab to their service centre for 5 times in the last 6 months & for the same problem yet the problem exists, I had earlier requested micromax (over email & telephone) to either replace me with new tab or provide refund instead they asked me to hand over the tab to their service centre & they assured the problem will be fixed.
I have finally decided to file a complaint in consumer court seeking damage of Rs.5lacs for all the harrasement i have undergone + refund the amount i spent in purchasing this tab
Pls advice, Do you think this makes a case to approach consumer court.

Hi Mr. Binoy
This is Pawan Kumar from Faridabad, Haryana. Need your help as I want to file a case against a college for misguiding us. The details of the case is hereunder:
My wife had taken admission in a college in faridabad in May-June, 2011 for Ph.D course under Management dept. There were some issues that my faced in last two years like, change of supervisor who was not contactable, misbehavior by the first supervisor, demand of money by the guide, and no proper guidance for doing Ph.D. Then we came to know about one major issue from our internal contacts (which developed during 2 years of term) in the college that this college is not authorized to run any Ph.D program as Ph.D program is not approved by the concerned university to this college.
I wrote a lette to the Chairman of that college mentioning all the issues (Mentioned above) as asked him to refund the complete fee Rs. 160000/- which I paid in two years. College refunded the fee and in the mean time I filed a RTI to the university with the subject “Whether said college is having approval from the univesity or not to run the Ph.D program”
I got the reply after more than a month stated that said college is having approval for B.Tech and M.Tech only. And there is no registration of any candidate for Ph.D program.
Now I just want to know, can I sui that college for fraud, and cheating us, as college wasted our two precious years of career.
I have already sent a (registered) first notice from my side to the Chairman on 3-8-13 for compensation of Rs. 500000/-. He received the notice on 7-8-13 and I have not received any response from his side as I had mentioned a time period of 15 days from the date of receiving of the letter.
I have all the documentary and audio/video proof which I believe are sufficient to make this case strong.
Please guide me what should I do now, and what are the chances of getting compensation.
I personally will follow and want to fight this case on my own.
Thanks & Regards
Pawan Kumar

Hi,
I was using Reliance broadband services and i requested them to terminate it from 15-march-2013. They terminated the connection and sent me the final settlement bill.
As per bill, Reliance will pay 400 INR to me withing 90 days. But i have still not received the refund. I have the evidence of the bills and mails communicated with reliance.
I think with these proofs i can lodge complaint in district forum.
I wanted to know that if i won the case then i will get the 400 INR only or i can claim for more money approx. 10000 INR.
I just wanted to know that how much we can request for the claim.
File a complaint in the Consumer Forum.
Claim Rs. 10,000 for mental agony and harassment.
You may get 1 to 2 thousand.

Dear Mr. Binoy,
I was the End User of Vodafone Mobile No.- 9619****** & wished to permanently disconnect my no. on 2nd of July, 2013 (as mail sent by my registered email ID), prior to that I did clear an outstanding amount of 2500/- for the same no. also have a receipt for the same, as per the TRAI under Termination of Service within 7 days clause Regulations 2009 (7 of 2009) dated 20.3.09 ] under Explanatory Memorandum to the “Standards of Quality of Service of Basic Telephone Service (Wireline) and Cellular Mobile Telephone Service Regulations, 2009” (7 of 2009) dated the 20th March, 2009 under section (b) : Closures my request should have been resolved within 7 Working Days by any means which has not & certainly it is not a happy experience at all to receive calls from your departments for payments. below mentioned are the few details of my transactions done with Vodafone.
2nd July 2013- 1366429076 sent a first mail from my registered email address
3rd August 2013- 678424986 walked into a Vodafone gallery given written application duly signed
5th September 2013- 1398670930 walked into a Vodafone gallery & fresh request sent for the same
It’s been post to 60 Days no. is not closed, 2 bills are generated & receiving calls from dept. for payments & as per TRAI, The service provider shall terminate the connection within 7 days. They cannot charge rental or any other charges beyond the period of 7 days of request for closure made by the customer. Further, fresh bills shall be raised only after adjustment of the security deposit. The closure/ termination of service shall not be made conditional upon payment of dues/ bills/settlement of dispute. The outstanding amount of security deposits has to be refunded within 60 days of closure/ termination of service. In case of delay in refund beyond 60 days, a consumer is entitled to interest at the rate of 10% per annum for the number of days refund is delayed beyond 60 days. Now on 5th September, 2013, i have been promised that issue will be resolved within 7 days starting from tomorrow morning & shall be resolved by EOD 12th September 2013, which I agreed for, however I dont think it will be & my beliefs had come true when I recd. a call this morning from the same dept. for a payment, I was in a terrible shock when I recd. that call after sending a mail to all possible mailing address on 5th of September as well, anyways as I am done with them & now want to pull them in Consumer Court, have all possible correspondenec with me, just need guidance as what needs to be done.
my contact details are 9619484883

There is no doubt jurisdiction of the consumer forum with regard to mobile complaints: I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IDEA CELLULAR LIMITED AND THE MATTER IS PENDING BEFORE THE FORUM.
With regard to the jurisdiction of the consumer forum wrt mobile complaints, leading consumer activists in India have said thus:
We find that there is no flaw in the existing laws so far as the consumers are concerned and therefore there is no necessity either to pressurise the government or other ways demand for an amendment of the Consumer Protection Act. The Law is well settled that even in cases where there is an arbitration clause either in the Act or in the contract, the Consumer Fora have jurisdiction by virtue of section (3) of the Act as per the following judgments of the Apex Court:
1. “Fair Air Engineers V. N.K.Modi”, (1996) 6 SCC 385
2. “Skypark Couriers Ltd V. Tata Chemicals Ltd” (2000) SCC 294
3. “Secretary, Thirumurugan Co-operative Agricultural Credit Society V. M.Lalitha” (2004) I SCC 305
The Judgement Nos.1 & 3 cited above are being relied on by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum who hold the view that there is jurisdiction. The decision of the Apex Court in “General Manager, Telecom V. M.Krishnan & Others” relied on by Hon’ble Justice Katju in which a contrary view was taken has been over ruled by the Apex Court in the following judgments:
1. Uttarkhand Power Corporation Ltd and another V. A.S.P Scaling Products Ltd (2009) 9 SCC 701.
2. Trans Mediterranean Airways V. Universal Exports and another (2011) 10 SCC 366
3. The National Seeds Corporation Ltd V . M.Madusudhanan Reddy (2012) 2 SCC 506
This apart, one more latest decision of the Delhi High Court rules that the Consumer forum does have jurisdiction to try mobile complaints.

Dear Sir,
My name is Charanjeet Singh, I have taken services from HEMSMAIL.COM (a web hosting company) for taking bulk mailing services.
They promised me via phone call that my server or anything related to sending emails will never get block in any way whatever it is , be it a spam or anything related to that. If it happens then we are sitting here to correct the issue. Trusting their words I paid INR 6000/- on 2nd September 2013 to Mr. ACHAL working in Hemsmail.com
Contact person: Mr.Achal
Company details: HEMSMAIL.COM

After 2nd day itself while sending email to different clients, I came to know that my server is blocked and they cannot do anything in that. I was shocked to know about this and asked them why you did not told it to me before?
I am getting harassed from past 13 days and my work is suffering just because of Hemsmail.com, who will pay for it?
My money is kept with (Mr.Achal) Hemsmail.com, they do not want to refund it back to me. It is a case of fraud with clients.
You can read many complaints of this company over the internet. Still this company is running without fear after doing fraud and cheat with their customers. This company should be banned at the earliest.
Just to sell their service they can do anything, be it a lie or fraud.
Kindly do the justice with me at the earliest.

This is regarding the order which I placed in thesurpriser.com for a cake. I placed a half kg cake order last week ie on 16th September 2013 to be delivered on 21st september 2013 for shirdi location. I called up the cusomer care before placing the order to check if there was any mid night delivery on 20th September and I was told that its not available. The delivery time mentioned by the customer care exeutive(it was always the same lady who picks up the call) is 10am to 6pm. So I placed the order for 21st september 2013 and told that the person to whom the order is supposed to be delivered might not be available all the time as Shirdi is a piligrimage so I asked her to check the convenient time before going for delivery for the delivery to be done smoothly. I was so particular about this and asked her to give a call at aroung 10 in the morning so that they will know well in advance. I also specifically mentioned that I would be out of country on the delivery date so i cannot personally keep pushing you to see the status of delivery.I gave all the details to her gave her the alternate contact details and all the necessary info. She promised me that there wont be any problem during the delivery. TOday evening(21th Sep) when I called my friend after 6pm, I came to know that no cake was delivered yet. I called up the same lady and asked her about the delivery. SHe said its in progress.I waited for some time and checked if the cake was delivered. The cake was still not delivered. I called the lady gain and asked if she checked for the convenient time with my fried for the delivery. SHe said she mentioned it in the order.When I clearly told thesurpriser.com executives that they should to call the person at 10 am and check the convenient time,atleast they should have called by afternoon!!. I spent more than the cake price to make calls to this lady as I was out of country and I told her the same. Then she called my friend and checked the time for delivery. I called her and enquired again and 8pm was the agreed upon time.. We were still fine with this even if the delivery got delayed. It was okay for us because the Aarti was at 10 pm and my friend and his family can finish the birthday celebration and then go for the aarti. My friend was waiting at the room from8 pm till 9.50 pm but the cake was not delivered.He sent his parents at about 9 30 to go inside the mandir and he stayed back to take the delivery. He was about to leave and it was then he revieved the call from the delivery boy at around 9 50 that he is near the bus stand and he would come in 10 pm.. In the mean time i kept calling the lady to take the delivery boy’s number. I called more than 50 times.. The delivey boy reached at 10!!!!! I spent a lot of money on the phone calls, a lot more than what we spent for the cake.More over the surprise was a flop.. The day was entirely spoiled.. Birthday surprise was spoiled …. The aarti darshan time was gone. It was a complete waste of time , money , energy, and the most imp thing was the Big Day!!! The birthday was spoiled. I spoke to the delivery boy details about which bakery the rder was coming from. It was Monginis bakery,shirdi and asked him few details like where is the cake delivered from and the managers details and the shop details so that I would go back and check with the customer care. I asked for a reciept that the cake was delivered at around 10pm. He was not ready to give the details. To my surprise he told us that he came to know that he was supposed to deliver the cake was only at 7pm on 21st september 2013. He said where he recieved the all from.. He told that someone from chennai called us and give the delivery.. I wonder how they operate. The local agent in SHirdi doesnt know who details about thesurpriser.com. He was saying that the order was placed from Chennai and you were not the ppl to whom he was supposed to deliver. There was not proper system at al!!!! I really dont understand how they operate… He said if we wanted the reciept he will take back the cake and give us our money. Had it been the matter of money why would one spend more than 800 rupees on a half kag cake and more than that in making calls. We were not given the delivery boys contact details nor the details of the local dealer who should give the delivery.This is really very very uprofessional and pathetic way of handling the customers. The day was entirely spoiled.. Birthday surprise was spoiled. WE DID NOT TAKE THE CAKE!!! The aarti darshan time was gone.
How can I reach out consumer court to take an action on the so called “THESURPRISER.COM”.
700 rupees for the cake *
Forget this loss.
Its too small to take all the trouble of filing a consumer complaint.

When I submitted my complaint, one paper was not attached by my advocate, probably due to oversight. Also there was some correspondence with tht eooposite party before the court hearing. 1) Is there a procedure to attach the missing paper; 2) Is there a procedure to include the corresspondence ?
Make an application to the Consumer Forum requesting for permission to file the documents and attach them.
There should not be any problem.

i have made the rate cutter recharge of Rs 35 through the sim card of aircel company during last 1 month. The validity of this offer was of 90 days that the call rate will be as 36 paise per 1 minute on local call in bihar and jharkhand. The call rate is charing as 60 paise per1 minute. I have made my complaint through aircel customer care.they told that my problem will solved within 48 hours but still it has not been solved.
This is too petty a matter to file a comsumer complaint.

Hello. I have prepared my case papers for filing complaint against sterling holidays. However, the membership is in the name of my husband. Do i need to get a Power of Attorney to attend the case? If yes, on what denomination of stamp paper? Do you have a ready draft please?Also, at the consumer court office, they are non commital. Just to reconfirm, I need to pay Rs. 200/- by court fees as my claim is Rs.3lacs ++. How do i pay this? The Affidavit for confirmation should be on what denomination of stamp paper? Could you share your no. so that i can call up if necessary.
You can prepare a General Power of Attorney on Rs. 100 Stamp Paper.
If you have problem in finding one, I will send you a draft.

sir i purchased a GODREJ REFRIGERATOR 6 years back…… since yhe fridge is 6 years old some of its parts are broken like freezer door bottle shelf etc.
Last month I called to the godrej service centre to register my complain, the technician from the godrej visited my place and took money from me in name of service charge (I also have the receipt of service charge) saying that in a few days he will fix it, and it has been a month now that i am calling them and they are just ignoring my complaints…… and now they have come up with a new excuse saying that your fridge is more than 10 years old and its parts are no longer available and its no longer their responsibility to fix it …….. but i have got the purchase bill which clearly mentions the buying date in 2007……..
So can i complain against them in the consumer forum/court?
Your Refrigerator is six years old and not covered by any sort or warranty or AMC.
You dont have any case for Consumer Forums.
Check up to whom you made the payment and what for….
if it is for service call, forget about it.
If he took the money for repairs, then he should do the repairs.

Sir, I would highly appreciated if you can go through below trail mail, and advise me if I can go further with consumer forum against Dealer or FIAT?
Thank you.
Dear Sir,
@RATHOD MOTORS: I have never given the consent on the said stuff, it was just infomed to me to which I said kindly send me a mail thereto. Further, such option was otherwise open to me, need not to suggest it as i have said earlier in my earlier mail and also written that I have given the car to you so its your responsibility to complete the task.
Firstly, who will bear the cost of travelling and most importantly my one or two working days will be wasted and what is the guarantee that it will be replaced without any hindrances. If locally i am facing so much of the trouble how can i handle the outstation dealer. Surat is 150 kms away one way and further my one working day cost me approx Rs. 5000. Further, as per earlier mail, FIAT has tie up with TATA MOTORS till 30th Sept, 2013 throughout India dealer and I am sorry to say that I can’t visit surat before 30th september under any circumstances as being a practicising Chartered Accountant we are having busy tax audit season which has due date 30/09/2013.
You can send the vehicle at your own cost and risk and i will take the delivery of fully completed vehicle.
@FIAT: If Rathod motors cannot do anything or helpless then I would request FIAT to compensate me all the collateral expenses or else take back the defective car and reimburse me its cost less wdv. because just in a span of 3 year and 15500 kms run I have gone through a lot of issues to which actually such expenses should have been taken place at around 160000 – 180000 kms. Why can’t same thing be worked out at Vapi if it can be done at Surat?
@FIAT: Why FIAT customer care department is silent in this issue since the inception of my complain? I have not heard from them till now. They just send a mail after my mail “thank you for your email we regret for inconvinience” but has failed to resolved the issue. Is this the BRAND FIAT or level of Customer satisfaction they offer??
@RATHOD MOTORS and FIAT : I want the final verdict on my complain by tomorrow evening i.e. 25th Sept, 2013 that what best possible either party can do so as to give me an idea whether this matter should be escalated further or not.
Thank you.

We do own other brand cars, we have never faced such a kind of loose and slow response for any of the issues posed.
I would request the FIAT and Rathod Motors to come to some amicable conclusion and close this issue.

I have purchased device tab bsnl penta online from snap deal. How do I file complaint for defective piece. After several request they are refusing to refund as well as for replacement.
I stay in Mumbai and snap deal office is near Delhi. (Noida).
Can I file online complaint.
I made a call log to the Lenovo Service centre on 10-9-2013 and the complain no is 7005573367 for repairing my laptop as it is under extended warranty service upto 2015. But till date I don’t get any service from their end. They gave me a telephone no to the respective kolkata service centre, I repeatedly call them but unfortunately they did not pay heed to my request. i am getting frustrated. what should I do. Can I lodge complain against the service centre to the consumer forum?
Before made a complaint you have to take all the things as a documentation.You can file RTI and take all the details from them. On the basis of documentation you can make suit against them. You can file RTI via this portal online.

I am consumer of TATADCOMO teleservices . On 20th september, 2013, I got the sms from tatadocomo as below.
“Starting today,You can enjoy 3G speed at 2G rates.
Recharge with Rs. 129 and enjoy with 1GB 3G data for 30 days.
Exclusive offer only for you. recharge now! ”
When I recharged with Rs. 129 at that day evening. My main account has been credited with 111.81 instead of getting special offer mentioned in sms.
I contacted to customer care no. of time but there is no solution. After I have written mail to listen@tatadocomo.com about my query. they reply as
“We would like to inform you that as per our records we have found, the
correct benefits of Rs 129 i,e, Rs 111.81 main account talk time has been
already credited in your account. Please make a note the said offer i,e, 1
GB 3G DATA on recharge of RS 129 was not applicable for your number.”
this reply doesn’t make sense if offer was not applicable to my number then why did he send this offer by sms.
Here amount of money is small but I feel that I have been cheated by tatadocomo . so what should i do regarding this query.
The filing of consumer complaint is a complex process.
And unless you can prove you have suffered substantial losses,
not really worth the trouble for such small issues.

Thanks a lot for suggestion
Dear Sir
My Nokia C6-00 (IMEI no.-357901041433317) was creating problem. As this is slide phone, Display was becoming white/sometimes lines where coming while sliding. Same problem was occurred last year also. Last year problem was resolved and services center guys guided me to take extended warranty and I took. Now again same problem came and guys of service center(Y.P. Enterprises, shop no-3, court road, Amritsar) checked my phone by opening all parts and after checking it thoroughly, they told me that they need to send mobile to head office. Job Id was created Job No- 11131 dated 13th Aug-2013. After that no response was given to me from service center side. I checked 3-4 times by doing phone calls and every time they replied that your phone will come today or tomorrow. On 4th Sept-2013 when I visited service center they replied me that due to water/liquid in mobile some part is missing and your phone is returned back by headoffice. But when I checked with Nokia care on 08030303838 Mr. Sourab told me that job id (139433527/130823/21) was created on 23rd Aug-2013. And he raised complaint (I-14628509713). And written complaint was also done 1-14631910048. After waiting for more near about one month, I’ve not got any proper update on complaint and question.
Now my questions to Nokia are:-
1. What services center guys checked for 30 minutes by opening all parts of Mobile?
2. Have they found any liquid/water on that time?
3. Was any part missing on that time?
4. If some part was missing then how mobile was working without opening slide?
5. After checking everything if liquid was there then why they created Job card?
6. Why I was not told same thing on that time?
7. Even after month why no information was given to me by doing phone call extra?
8. I was checking by doing phone call’s (even I can show my Bill details), what are responsibilities of service center? can they show any call done to me?
9. Maximum 10-12 days time was given to me for repair. Why online Job id was created after 10 days?
I am not getting any proper response from Nokia CCare. After one month have got mail saying same thing that warranty is void but not giving any answers regarding my queries.
Can I file case under consumer court ?

I had purchased, Ertiga VXI From your showroom on 5 th of September 2013.
The said vehicle is suffering from the following defects:- Skirting for my brand new Ertiga VXI not at all matching the body color and Teflon coating was not performed. Vehicle left side doors repainted by service center authority due to accident done by Navnit service center. I have reported the above matter to Navnit motors at the day one of the delivery of my vehicle, Later this was undertaken by the service center to repaint the skirting. This took around 3 days for the service center and at the time of delivery the service advisor called me up over the phone asking for a grace period for delivery because of some problem created by the mechanic in the store. But mean while I was on my way to service center and when I reached there no one informed about any incident that took place in the service center with my car, after when they bought the vehicle outside in sunlight I was shocked looking at the left side both doors color as it was not at all matching my other parts of the vehicle. The service executive was fooling us by saying no it’s perfect there is no other problem, later he himself committed his mistake that the vehicle met with an accident by one of the service mechanic. But despite all my pleadings you have not made good the defect in the goods (Other Color particles all over the vehicle and Alloy wheels, which left the entire body with a rough touch) which is indeed regrettable and highly unbusiness like. On account Of your aforesaid dereliction of duty and failure and neglect to rectify the same I have,
Dear Sir
I purchased SONY LCD TV around 4 years back. Within 2 years, the mother board had a problem and was replaced, which I paid fully. Another 2 years passes by and they say panel has to be changed. When I now check with showroom, they are saying that there must be some defect, otherwise Sony LCDs are very robust. 2 problems with 4 years they have never heard of. Hence they have convinced me that it was a defective piece.
I understand that company doesn’t have 100% control on quality, but if one-off problem come due to original / manufacturing defects, company should have a policy to compensate for it.
Also, sales people state that the panel has a life of 60000 hrs. But to my surprise, it’s life is over within 5000 hrs? If I do not use TV enough to start giving trouble in 1 year (warranty period), I should not be penalised to pay 13000 for panel replacement.
While purchasing it was told that nothing happens for 10 years. But today when I interact with customer-service, they say that 4 years is a good enough time for LCDs. Whom to believe? If I go by sales people, the model given to me was defective. If I go by service people, I was misguided and material facts were hidden while buying the TV.
To the above plea, company people are simply saying that its natural that defects do happen over time and since warranty is over, I’ve to pay the full charges.
The whole experience makes me feel that I was cheated & mis-guided and company/authorized show-room should replace the panel at their own cause.
Do you suggest to go to district forum or I do not have any chance against the T&C of the company ?
You have no case.
A Sony TV could last 10 years.
But the normal warranty is only for 1 year.
There may be extended warranty…..which does not appear to be in your case.

Hello Sir,
I sent mobile as a courier though Overnite Express Pvt Ltd on 19-Sep-2013.
But when it reached It was empty. My brother opened packet in front of courier guy so didn’t sign any receipt. I have airway bill no and I am following up with company from last 10 days but I am not getting satisfactory response.
When I asked in detail they are giving reasons that there are some technical problems in your bookings so there is fight between their business agent and company for settlement.
Cost of Mobile is 17500/- they are asking me for 50% of the amout which is not at all acceptable to me. I have mobile bill as well booking receipt and mail communication with company.
So what should be my course of action.
I am getting mentally harassed by non cooperative behavior of company.
Also I am staying near Churchgate,Mumbai.
Please help.

Deal Sir,
This Regarding my CIBIL status “Post Written Off Settled” against vehicle loan with BAJAJ Finance.
I have taken Vehicle loan in 2008 from Bajaj finance As per this loan account there was some pending amount pending due to last check bounce. and these guys never informed me about this.
But now when i applied for another load, i found this entry in CIBIL.
So in order to remove this. I have paid full pending amount including interest and penalty to Bajaj Finance.
pending amount was 4289/_ but i paid 12805/_ which include everything.
i asked to remove Remark in CIBIL status. but currently it is showing as “Post Written Off Settled”.
With this CIBIL status banks are approving my loan. As per CIBIL rule if someone has paid full pending amount including penalty and interest loan account status should be [Blank] or [Close].
I called many times to Bajaj costumer care and sent mail. every time they say your request is in pending. But now they are saying they will not change status without any reason.
Please suggest if this is a valid Complaint for Consumer forum.
I have all communication mails. account settlement documents and statements as a proof.
Please advise…
Yes you should file a complaint with the Consumer Forum.

Dear Mr Yazdi
I am receiving a lot of enquiries, or rather complaints, several through your blog, as well as through other references.
I do try to reply to most of them. And I do have visitors in person whom I dont charge any thing. But I do have time constraints.
I have been working on a model where junior advocates will handle consumer cases in Mumbai – State Consumer Commission….and Mumbai from South up to Boriveli….subject to my overall supervision.
But then these advocates would expect payment…..which I would try to keep affordable and transparent.
You can advise your friends and well wishers.

After five month white line appear at display still I was talking and do all work thorough my phone.

District consumer forum rejected my complaint since the complaint against manipal finance was filed by me on the strengh of power of attorney executed by my son who is the fixed deposit holder.JUDJE ADVISED ME TO FILE A FRESH COMPLAINT BY MY SON ONLY NOT BY ME ON THE POWER OF ATTORNEY.NOW MY SON FILED IT AND HE HAS GIVEN ME POWER F ATTORNEY.AS PER EARLIER ADVISE COMPLAINT CAN BE FILED ON THE POWER OF ATTORNEY.NOW WHAT CAN I DO FOR THE JUDJEMENT I HAVE TO YET TO GET THE JUDJEMENT. I AM WAITING FOR THE POST. KINDLY ADVISE ME.-P.GOPAL SHASTRY
Since you have filed a fresh complaint signed by your son, forget about the old one.
You dont need that order.
You can appear in all the hearings on the basis of power of attorney.
But the Affidavit of Evidence will have to be signed by your son.
You can sign the written submissions.

Dear Abhishek
You have to file a complaint against the manufacturer…..you can add the service centre as a party.
But what is the reason for the water logging. If it is due to your own fault, then you dont have any chance of winning.

Hello Yazdi Sir,
I had got my Telephone and Internet connection from MTNL. The wifi modem they gave me has a range problem. I complained about it to MTNL customer care, and after that I got a call that instructed me to resolve it doing some changes in “my Admin” (MTNL website for wifi). But it didn’t work. so he asked me to go and change the wifi modem in MTNL exchange office. When I talked in exchange office they said they dont have modem right now, and they would resolve it as soon as they get the modem. After one week I called him and got the answer that we still dont have it. Again after one week I called him and got the same reply. almost one and half month later, again I called to customer care and told the whole story. He told me that he has filed a complaint and my problem will be resolved in 24 hours. But almost one week has past and no response…. There is another story that was going along is- I was not getting my Internet Bill at my home. I had to take the duplicate bill in exchange office only. The first time I paid it but next time when I didn’t get the bill, I went for the duplicate bill but they said “your bill has not been generated yet”. In anger I decided that I would pay the bill until I get the bill. So I didn’t go after that and waited for the bill to come at home. But after One and half month I got a call that I have not paid the bill and pay it in 2-3 days. I thought to pay after few days as I dint have money that time. But They cut my phone and internet after 3 days. And when I talked to the official in office, they said “dont say that you have not got the bill, its all your fault. Why didn’t you paid last month”. I told them the reason but they started talking in anger and told me to go to other person in office. I talked to another and he said “Ok, you will get the bill from the next time, but pay it for now”. And I paid it with penalty . Then someone told me to contact the manager, and I told them the whole story. He said ” why didn’t you come to me before paying the bill, I would have cut the penalty, now I cant do anything. But I will resolve your wifi issue next day”. but again one week past and no response. I am very busy with seeking job for me these day, and use internet a lot. But when I face the wifi problem I get irritated and frustrated. So I decided to stop my job search, and settle this problem first. And I want my issue to be resolved and get a compensation for that trauma. Is it sufficient reason to file the complaint and win it in consumer forum? Please help me out! And how much should I ask for compensation money?
Thank you.
Saurav Sagar
Dear Saurav
You can certainly file a complaint in the Consumer Forum….
But pernaps it may not be really worth the trouble.
If you want to claim damages, you will have to prove how much loss your suffered.
Otherwise, all you get is only token damages.

I will try to find out in a few days.

Dear Ravi
Your case does not under consumer protection act.
But there are other laws which could give you some relief.
I would like to have some more details
1. What were the terms and conditions for your admission.
2. What was the fee structure and who was supposed to pay it.
3. Why did you not receive your scholarship.
4. I am sure there must be other sufferers like you.
I will definitely try to help….and I will not charge anything.

HI Sir,
I had purchased Canon DSLR from Croma store and then I had submitted it at Croma store for cleaning purpose. They gave it to Canon service centre with a time gap of 4 days and then they are saying that it is a fall down case and you need to submit Rs 6000 for the damage. I have a document from Croma stating the date and the problem.I got a call from Croma to collect Camera and Lens which is not repaired.Can I lodge a complaint in consumer forum and should I collect CAmera and Lens or should I wait for the judgement.
Thanks
I think you should not collect the camera but file a complaint against Croma….and see their reaction.

Sir,
I have received letter from Croma that Collect your camera within 14 days else no claims will be entertained.
I haven’t filed case with Consumer Forum till now.
Please look into the below mail which I had send to them.
Dear Croma,
This is in regard with the camera which I purchased from Croma store, Bill attached and details are in below mail.
During the time of purchase it was promised by Croma as well as Canon representatives that during the time of warranty I can submit the camera at Croma retail shop of Gurgaon for any kind of defects or problems and servicing.
I along with two other friends purchased three camera in a period of 2 weeks, as I believed in TATA as well as Canon.
I went on many trips and used the camera and it was around six months from the date of purchase, So after the last trip I thought of getting my camera cleaned as it is an Electronic Equipment.
I submitted it to the Croma retail shop on 22/09/13 attached is the gate pass and the problem which was mentioned on the back of the receipt by the Croma representative Mr. Mahesh, both the images are attached. It was specifically mentioned to Mr. Mahesh that only cleaning is required and there are no other issues, as was mentioned by Mr Mahesh that Camera is submitted for Servicing.
During that time it was checked by Mr. Mahesh and he asked to remove the battery and memory card and take the bag back. Camera was functioning perfectly at that time and there were no problem as it was checked by the Crome representative and mentioned on the slip provided by them.
I was not informed about any details of my camera it’s whereabouts and it took a lot of efforts from my side in calling Crome support centre and Canon support centre. Contact number given by Mr. Mahesh was not reachable.
At last I was able to contact somebody from Canon stating that there is a non warranty job card issued against the camera and it requires Rs 1000 for its repair.I objected stating that Camera was in perfect condition when it was submitted and it is under warranty.
After 7-8 days I again got a call from Croma stating that Camera repair requires Rs. 6000 and when I objected stating that camera was in perfect condition and under warranty and why is there a change in estimate I was asked to come to Croma Retail Shop at Gurgaon.
I visited the shop on 19/10/13 and raised my concern about the repair cost when Camera was in perfect condition when it was submitted and it was examined. I was not provided with any solution instead I was asked to go and visit Canon Service centre along with Canon representative. When he contacted service centre it came into knowledge that it is closed and Mr. Mahesh Croma representative assured that they will report to me on Monday with the solution and they will contact Canon Service centre and get the Camera fixed.
It is 23:43 hours 23/10/13 and I have received no response from Croma.
These are my concerns:
1- I have bought this camera for my use not to deposit it in Canon and Croma store, It’s been a month I don’t have my Camera.
2- When Camera was submitted it was in perfect working condition and was examined. Now I am being told that it is a fall down case which can be by the Canon or Croma people but not by me.
3- I didn’t received any updates about the status of my camera and I believe that my camera was misused, mishandled and then broken.
4- Inspite of visiting Croma Store and giving assurance on saturday that I will be updated on Monday I haven’t received any information.
5- I have lost many opportunities where it was required by me to take pictures and use my camera which I will not get again. How is Croma as well as Canon going to compensate for this loss as it is the problem with the processes of Croma and Canon because of which I am suffering.
6- Since it is no fault of mine I am not going to pay for the repair and I want a detail about my camera and the date, time and place when I will receive it.
7- In the job card of Canon when it is a computerized job card why entries are filled with pen? How can I believe that these entries are genuine and are not compromised?
I believe that I will receive a prompt and appropriate reply and my issues and concerns will be taken care by both Croma and Canon as there were Canon representative also present in the Croma retail shop.
Thanks
Purchase Date- 17-02-2013
Submitted Date at Croma- 22-09-13
Delivered to Canon- 26-09-13
Expected Date of Delivery Warranty Case (4 Working Days)
Expected date of Delivery Non Warranty Case (7 Working Days)
My camera was submitted as non warranty case.
Sir Please advise me what steps should I take.
Advocates are asking Rs3000 for filling the case.
Thanks
Sir I send them this mail on November 1. Is this acceptable as a notice.
Dear Croma,
This has been more than month. I have received calls from Croma store that Camera is fine but lens and the problem is not rectified and I will not collect defective piece.
Please consider this as a notice and after a period of 7 days I will be lodging a complaint in Consumer Forum.
Please rectify my problems and issues and the inform me of the way you are going to compensate for the delay in the delivery and the problems that I faced.
I even cannot take pictures in Diwali.
In the telecon with the Canon authority they also agreed that it is a fault of Croma store and a delay of 4 days is unacceptable.
Thanks
Hello,
I had booked tickets on an airline through a reputed online travel agency. I missed the flight and after confirming the NO-SHOW and deducting fare and other relevant charges, the airline initiated a refund of the AIRLINE/AIRPORT Usage taxes. However, since the ticket was booked through the travel agency, the amount has been credited to their account and it is the responsibility of the agency to route it to me.
However, the travel agency is quoting their own charges and reverted back saying these charges amount to more than the refund and hence, there is no refund amount for me in this case.
The agency charges are as follows. Cancellation charges, convenience charges (for online booking) and discount charges.
First, this is not a cancellation but a NO SHOW. So, the claim is false.
Second, the convenience charge has already been pocketed by the agency and is neither claimed by me nor a part of the airline refund.
Finally, discount charges can be claimed if there is a cancellation. But since NO-SHOW is essentially a consumed ticket, there should be no case to charge this.
is this a fit case for a consumer complaint? Any prior cases of the above type you have come across. Here is a related and identical case. Note the responses.

Thanks.
No show is worse than cancellation. Because this may lead to a seat going empty.
Go through the terms and conditions printed on the ticket and then decide whether they have charged excess……if yes, you can certainly file a complaint in the cosumer forum.

Filing a consumer complaint involves time and some money, unless you can file it personally.
Being a scheduled case or a student of MBA does not really matter.
The concept of damages is practically not known in India.
If you want to claim damages, you will have to prove the loss you have suffered, other wise, you get only token damages.
Try to get the lap top repaired.

i have purchased refrigerator of whirlpool one year back. Being in army as i posted in place like Faridkot in punjab my refrigerator stopped working.
Subsequently I approached Consumer care center of Whirlpool for its repair. seven days past now also no one has come for repair,however I received email from whirlpool that engineer will come next day………but no one has come till date.
Filing a consumer complaint is a tedious process.
Talk to the Consumer Care Centre of Whirlpool every day….send them one email every day.
And tell them that if they dont get it repaired immediately, you will file a consumer complaint.
That should work.
Otherwise, You can always file a consumer complaint.

SRS Travels Fraud in Banglore…
I had booked ticket for 15/11/2013 from Bangalore to Hyderabad. My pick point was MARATHALLI but bus didn’t come to pick up point. Your agency (SRS Travels) sent a pick up van (at 9:10 PM) and I went to Anand Rao Circle. I had already boarded the bus after submitting my two carry bags (10:45 PM). I was also carrying two small cartoon of books, so the conductor denied to take it for the journey and suggest to send it through VRL Logistic (another Travels Agency). I had been to VRL logistic to deliver my cartoons and the bus left in 5 mins without informing me by leaving my two carry bags in open. I also asked the person who was the counter-in-charge to return my ticket fair, he too denied to return. Somehow I managed to return to my home at 12:30 in the night.
What kind of service it is?
Where are my carry bags?
If you can’t take me in your bus than why can’t you return my ticket fair?
If you were not ready to carry all my luggage, then why did you pick me up
from Marathalli?
I am frustrated and can go to any extent to get my belongings and ticket
fair. I hope you will take proper care of my horrible experience with you,
otherwise I will go for legal action through proper channels.

Particulars /Details of Complaint application:
We had finalised resale property and applied in HDFC Limited for home loan of Rs.35,00,000/- in April-13 by submitting all required self as well as property documents which HDFC sales representative Mr.Veerprakash asked for. Bank had demanded all property registered documents of first & second owner also which we had submitted to them. When Mr. Veerprakash received property documents ,he told us that there are already two home loans going ON which are approved by HDFC , hence there would be no any issue reg. property to disburse home loan to us on this particular property. After submitting all required documents to bank we have got confirmation of home loan approval on our file no.608305472 and they had confirmed us for going ahead for property registration. Accordingly we have did the aggrement of assignment on 15th June-13with property owner in sub-registrar haveli-IV office by paying required stamp duty rs.2,40,000/- , registration fees of rs.30,420/- , legal fees rs. 15,000/-, bank processing fees rs.11236/- and other charges @rs.10,000/-(Total of @rs.3,15,000/- ).
After then Banks has demanded us original aggrement which we had did with property seller for loan disbursement purpose which we have submitted to them .In receipt of original agreement copy from us ; Mr. Veerprakash has confirmed us and our property seller that HDFC will disburse loan within next ten days. When we had contact Bank after week period , they had told us that loan borrower have to make aggrement with Bank reg. terms & conditions reg.loan repayment etc.by paying stamp duty charges of Rs.7562/- which they have taken us from 13th July-13.However when we have contacted Bank for loan disbursement & signing on bank agreement which they had asked for , we got thier reply that our loan will not get disburse due to some legal reasons. Hence we had approached HDFC ,shivajinagar branch but nobody allowed us to meet related persons. We had again and again tried to meet bank officers but they denied to meet .When after several follow-ups and requests we meet to legal & technical department where we surprisely came to understand that Mr. Veerprakash has not contacted internally them of loan clearance against property selected,before giving confirmation to us for go ahead for registration of property. We have severally contacted HDFC peoples of legal & technical officials for clearing our loan by telling them that we had given 7 lacks rs. advance to property seller on confirmation from HDFC reg.loan clerance and we had spent Rs.3.15 lacks on account of property registration but they refused to hear our request & asked us to contact with HDFC sales dept. only to whom we had in dealing with. We had again and again contacted HDFC sales dept. & requested that already we had paid advance amount of rs. 7,00,000/- to seller which we can’t received back since we confirmed seller that HDFC already given clearance for loan disbursement and accordingly Seller also invested to brought new property. But Sales persons also not listened us & told us that loan disbursement is in hand of legal & technical department, so you need to follow with them only. We are already in financial trouble and due to non disbursement of loan by HDFC ,we had cancelled our purchasing registered aggrement with seller. The whole Cancellation Deed cost also we had paid including all legal ,registration office fees & other documentation charges @10,000/-.In this total procedure from home loan application to Bank till Cancellation Deed we had paid @3,25,000/- as well as we are getting very much mentally penalised and harassed by Bank peoples.During this period we were not in position to made round in Bank for followups since we had given birth to our baby in May-13 ,eventhough to get our money back we had tried to made several followups in that condition also.Actually on the basis of confirmation of loan disbursement from Mr. Veerprakash of sales dept. only we forced to did the aggrement & now we had not getting any support form bank. We would like to request you to please give justice us by arranging to refund us form HDFC bank the loss incurred on account of stamp duty,registration charges, legal fees & Bank fees, Cancellation Deed charges etc in total of@ Rs.3,25,000/- as we spent the same after firm confirmation from HDFC Bank of loan disbursement only.

Hi Sir
Based on the information provided by the company’s representative on telephone, I agreed to take policy named -‘Cash Flow Plan’
Though from the beginning I was asking for being very much clear about terms and conditions of the policy I was explained –
1. Premium paying term of 4 years and policy term of 10 years.
2. 1 gm of gold coin offer with policy.
On receiving documents it was observed that –
1. In policy documents (bond) as policy term of 10 years and premium paying term also of 10 years, which not explained earlier.
2. During explaining about policy they promised of 1gm gold coin with policy. After getting
policy documents they did not send gold coin. In policy documents they have clearly mentioned no gifts are offered with the policy.
On repeated inquiry they managed to send one gold coin, on checking it was found that the coin was actually weighing only 0.5 gms and not 1 gram.
3. Contact number printed in the policy documents is wrong.
4. The basic plan mentioned in the policy and quotaion provided by the company doesn’t matches with each other.
5. The work place, height and weight mentioned in policy documents is incorrect, this information was not collected by the company from me.
6. One of the signature in the application form is dummy.
So looking at above misguiding, cheating and forgery in the documentation I submitted application for cancellation of policy. But the company has deducted 2275/- rupees and giving reason of terms and conditions of the policy.
Even after repeated request to refund total amount paid towards premium paid by me, they have not taken any action and finally asked me to contact local Reliance life office. I tried to contact through mail and forwarded my request nobody has responded.
So I want to file a complaint of misguiding, cheating and forgery in documentation and fraud against Reliance Life Insurance Company in consumer court. is It Okay.
Here the fraud was probably committed by some agent.
But go ahead and file a consumer complaint.

Hi. I have booked a residential flat in April 2011 at mira road, mumbai which was under construction that time. After taking 20% of the total amount the builder changed the plan of the site in Nov 2011 and forced us to re-elect the flat and told us that they would get it approved soon and then after registration will be done once the construction will be started. It’s been 2.8 years now but they are still saying that they haven’t got the approval due to which construction is not started. I have been trapped and going through difficulties by paying rents and interests on loans here. Can you please suggest what should i do to come out of this trap.
What is the amount involved.
Contact an advocate and file a complaint in the Consumer Forum.

Hello Binoy sir,
Can you please tell me in my case currently builder is charging 1% MVAT on the agreement value, but i think this amount is to be paid by the builder.Please correct me if i am wrong. Also could you please tell me the current stamp duty applicable on properties in Thane (5% or 6%).
VAT is normally payable by the purchaser. But see what the sake agreement says.
I have no idea about the stamp duty and regn. expenses.
The builder’s lawyer should be able to give you these details.

I am being using Tata Photon Plus connection around last 2 years time. Recently from last 4 months time, I am using Rs 400 plan which is expected to give at least 1 MBPS speed for first 1GB surfing. Then it is expected to give me Unlimited Usage at speeds up to 153.6 Kbps. I tried making complaint with tata teleservices that I am not getting even 10 KBPS, but no one is ready to listen to me. Tata Teleservices is not ready to take my complaint. What Nodal Officer said to me is as Company claimed that after usage speed will be from 0 KPBS to 153 KBPS, so even if you are getting 1 or 2 KBPS speed we cant take complaint. As a customer, do we really expect to get 5-10 KBPS when Company is advertising it as upto 153.3 KBPS. Isnt it is a cheating with genuine Customer? May I know to whom I need to contact for resolution. Who will listen to my voice? Tata Teleservice is not ready to take my complaint.
Now I am thinking to close my connection.
This is really too small a matter to file a consumer complaint.
Simply change the service provider.
You have so many.

Hello Sir,I had purchased a Mobile handset of a branded Indian Company in April 2013 in Mumbai with one year warranty.After approximately three and a half months of the purchase in August,2013,various problems started cropping up and in a span of other four and a half months the handset had to be sent to the company’s service centre and it had to be repaired three times.After that again a problem occurred for the fourth time and this time I thought that enough is enough and thereafter sent a mail today to the company asking them to give me a full refund of my purchase price or else I will file a case against them in the consumer court.I received a call from their executive today morning informing me that his company is ready to replace this defective handset with a new one.But when I told him that I will accept the new handset but with a warranty of one year for it,he refused it by saying that he can give warranty as per the old handset’s warranty only,i.e as per the old invoice of the to be replaced handset.I refused his offer saying that when I am entitled to a new handset then I should get it with a new warranty of 1 year as my old handset remained with the service centre for more than three months due to it’s defectiveness.
Now,my question is that according to consumer rights,can I press for a full refund only or is it mandatory/compulsory for a consumer to accept a replacement in lieu of the defective product and not press for a full refund? I actually wanted a full refund because I fear that if the warranty of this handset gets expired in March,2014 and if some problems occur thereafter then what will I do? I don’t want to experience the harrowing experience again that I had with the old defective handset.I don’t have faith in their product now and am worried that if I accept the new handset,the same problems might happen again and now with a new warranty of three months,the matter would get worse.
Please advise me whether I can refuse their replacement with a warranty of only three months and instead press for a full refund of my purchase price of the handset according to consumer law.
Thank you in advance for the answer.
Take the replacement.
If its a new piece, there will not be any problem.
In case of defective pieces, normally, problems start appearing within a month or so.
If there are problems, you can again fight.

Thanks a ton for the reply Binoy Ji but I would like to know from you that as per the consumer rights law,can I refuse the replacement and instead press for a full refund of my purchase price or is it compulsory to accept the replacement? I am afraid that with the three months warranty,I might land in to troubled waters again and I don’t want to take chances.What will happen if the handset starts troubling after three months when the warranty expires? My purchased handset started giving me trouble after three months only as you might have read in my post above and hence I am least interested in taking the replacement with a three month warranty now.Just tell me whether it is in my right as a consumer to refuse the replacement and instead ask for a full refund only? And if the full refund is denied by the company and they only offer replacement then can I take them to consumer court for obtaining my full refund and in such a case what are my chances of winning?
Thank you.
I really do not know the answer to your question.
You will have to file a consumer complaint and see.

Dear Sir
I have a complaint against PNB metlife regarding life insurance policy which was mis-sold to me one year back. I communicated with company several times but the company has not agreed to refund my deposit money. Hence, I have decided to move to consumer court. It would be great help if you could let know me the chances of winning a case in consumer court. I know my complaint is quite strong as company and their agents have cheated me right from the beginning and my signature has also been forged.
Any suggestion from you would be great help to me.
Thank you

Hi Binoy,
I just found a live worm in a Cadbury Dairy Milk Crackle packet that I opened. The worm was actually feeding off and living inside the chocolate piece. When I opened the packet, the chocolate had a whitish layer on it, but on the packaging it says, “Temperature and humidity changes may cause product to develop a whitish layer, without affecting its fitness for consumption”. It was when I broke a piece of it, that I noticed something move, and realized it was a worm. I have wrapped up the rest of the chcolate bar & kept it with me now, as I’m sure there might be more inside it. I also have pictures of the worm as proof.
The chocolate pkg date is 01/2013. Best before 12 months from packaging.
I wish to sue Cadbury for this. Please suggest how do I go about addressing it.
I do not know where you are located.
You can certainly sue Cadbury….
But remember, they will engage senior lawyers to fight their case.
If you wish to go ahead, send the Chocolate to a reputed laboratory and obtain a test report first.

Thanks for this great article. For business related transaction what is the procedure to file a complaint or get compensation? Thanks.
The Consumer Protection Act is essentially for consumers.
Would you give more details of the transactions you have in mind?
The normal legal procedure for business related transactions is to file a case in the Civil Court.

Dear Sir,
I bought hyundai i20 CRDI Sportz car in July 2012 from day one itself there are issue showing up due to falulty assembly, spares etc. In last 18 months major components replaced are, steering assembly ( within 5 month of purchase), sensors, brake rotor and brake vacum pump ( within one year), wind shield , i visited many times for various issues to the Hyundai service centre regarding dash board noise , door issues, etc. Problems are repeating very often. I am scared to drive this as major componants are failing one after the other. They are replacing everything under warranty, but i donot when and what fail next time. Before replacement of brake disk, there were frequent brake failures. Could you please guide me will this stand in consumer court if i ask for the replacement or compensation for selling a car which has a history of failure of major components.
Regards
Kiran
I do not know where you are located and where is the office of Hyundai Service Centre.
You should consult a competent lawyer and file a complaint in the Consumer Forum.
There is no point in owning such a defective car.

Hi,
I had purchased nokia lumia 925 in campus sale with a discount of around 10%. After 5 days of purchase i noticed that the panel was damaged. When i went to Nokia care center (VCare mobile solutions, Bangalore) i dint get a responsible reply from them so i had to write an email to customer care regarding the same.When Customer care representative informed nokia care center(NCC) people to take action they serviced my phone. But later on within a month another problem arised with my phone’s audio jack. I had to go to the NCC twice for the same problem.But in the process of servicing they damaged my phone’s panel very badly even though the problem with my phone’s audio jack was not working at all. When i observed it I demanded for a replacement. They said the phone will be sent to Head Office where the phone will be examined and the further action will be taken. But after few weeks I’m getting a registered post from NCC telling me to collect the serviced phone.
I bought my phone on OCT 30th 2013 and within a span of 2 months i had to face so many problems in my phone. I’m demanding for the replacement but they are not ready for that either.
Even now i’m writing continuous mails to Customer Care to which they are replying in a diplomatic way saying nothing clearly. Even though my phone is serviced i’m not ready to take the same since i had demanded for the replacement.
Now i want to file a case demanding for the refund of the money. I’m also planning to ask for the compensation. What amount will i be eligible to ask as a compensation… I bought the phone for 29k.. Kindly reply..
You can file a Consumer complaint and and claim the refund. But in India, consumer forums give only nominal damages unless you can prove the loss.
The approx. amount you can expect is about Rs. 5000.

Dear sir,
I had invested 1Lakh rupees in a Pvt Ltd. company on August, 2012, Company had promised to give me 5% return every month. But company had given return only for one month and after that they are making me fool and till date neither returns nor priciple amount had been given to me. They had given me a PDC Cheque of 1 Lakh of my principle amount, but cheque got bounced. After that I sent a legal notice to compny regarding the bounced cheque, but I did not get any response, because office was closed and notice was returned due to office closed. Then I came to know that the MD of this company had been arrested on behalf of some more FIRs lodged for cheating cases, that is why, the office was closed. Then I filed a case in court on behalf of that returned legal notice.
Then now I want to know what will happen on this my case filed in court, if accused had allready been arrested in Lucknow jail on some other’s complains before my case was filed. Will I be able to recover my amount of bounced cheque in this condition as accused is allready in Jail….? Will I be eligible to get just double amount of bounced cheque…?
Please tell me how will my case be effected by the arresting of accused before my case was filed, will it be in my favour or not…?
Thanks & regards,

Hi
I have ordered a laptop from flipkart.com. After receiving the laptop i found it was faulty with many problems. Then i raised a complain with flipkart customer care guys. Then they assured me that they will do something on this matter. Then after my repeated calls to them no solutions yet , this is the 10th day. So shall i go to consumer forum or i will wait for some more time. But their 10day assurance is over today.
At its best, the Consumer Forum takes several months to give its decision.
Flipkart customer care is very good and responsive.
I suggest you follow up with them. 10 days is not too much.

Sir,
I am a senior citizen, I had filed a complaint in District Consumer Forum against a builder for having allotted a smaller space than assured in the document. The District Forum dismissed my complaint without referring to catena of judgments and evidences in my favour. I have now filed an appeal in Maharashtra State Commission against the order of the District Forum. The State Commission has refused to accept a carpet area certificate issued by the Municipal Corporation and has asked me to submit a certificate from an architect. I am arranging for a certificate of an architect, my query is: how do I submit this certificate, do I hand it over to the Hon. State Commission at the appointed date or do I have to prepare some affidavit to be submitted with the certificate. I also want to draw the attention of the State Commission to the judgments and evidences that I had submitted to the District Forum.
I shall thank you for the advice.
Regards,
Kishor Mehta
Dear Kishor
I do not know what your stakes are…..
Whatever the reasons are, the fact remains you have lost in the District Forum.
Every thing will depend on the Forum’s order and also the State Commissions order.
If you do not have an advocate….consult and engage someone …..of course, if the amount involved justifies this.
Its not only about how to submit the documents….but the contents …or drafting of the contents.

IMEI 1:911310650154827
IMEI 2:911310650154835

I buy CELKON A-58 mobile for Rs.3949/- on 08-07-2013 from BIG-C (Invoice no.SI/HYMT/4909), and I am facing so many problem with CELKON mobile.
1) After 15 days from date of purchase the mobile speaker was not working and head phone also not working. As per your suggestion I approach to TIMELINE MOBILES service centre,chirag-ali, raghava ratna towers,abids,Hyderabad. they kept it one day with them and solved mobile speaker issue. I asked about head phone speaker, they said they don’t have stock and come after one week for exchange the speaker as per warranty.
2) After two months I faced one more big issue that is my mobile was automatically restarting frequently.
3.I again approach to TIMELINE MOBILE service centre on 25/10/2013, and they kept the mobile with them from morning to evening and return to me. But problem was not solved. Mobile was automatically restarting.
4.I again submitted to the Timelinemobile service centre on 26/10/2013, they return to me same day without solving issue. And they said mobile has to sent to L3 for resolve the issue and it takes 20-25days for resolve.
5.I again Hand over mobile on 1/11/2013 and collected on 25/11/2013. After half an hour the problem was repeated.
6.I call to celkon customer care 9052345678 regarding the issue. They advice to approach MOBILE 9 service centre, dilsuknagar, hyderabad.
7. As per the advice of customer care representative, i hand over mobile to MOBILE 9 service centre on 01/12/2013. And they said it will take 20 days of time. I collected on 21/12/2013. But problem was not solved. Mobile was restarting again and again.
8. Immediatly (21/12/2013) i again handover my mobile to them same day (work order no.CM13C04115968 ).They said again it has to send to L3 support and it takes 15-20 days time.
9. Today I collected mobile from MOBILE 9 service centre. But problem has been repeated again, my mobile auto restarting.
10. My issue is not solving from last 4 months. I purchased on 8 jul 2013(6 months back) and almost 5 months it kept in service centers only. And I roam to service centers nearly 10 times (each time I spend Rs.40 to Rs.50 travelling charges). I wasted my valuable time, and money (Product cost, travelling Expenses) for MOBILE.
It’s very difficult to me managing myself without mobile phone from last four months. I am temporary adjusting with my family and friends mobile.
11. And also I am sending so many mails to servicesupport@celkonmobiles.com, but am not getting any reply from them.
12. Today I called to customer care 9052345678 and spoke to your representative LAXMI regarding the issue and I ask why you are not replying my mails.
She told that “call tomorrow after 1PM”.
I get such an irresponsible answer from your representative.
And very difficulty managing myself without mobile phone from last four months. Money and Time is very valuable to me. Please help me to solve the issue.

I have received a inoperative product from shopclues and am preparing to file a complaint in consumer court. They advertise full refund within 10 days of purchase but have not adhered to it. I have a few questions:
1. Can the notice be sent by email?
2. I live in Bangalore and the address of shopclues is new delhi. Can i file in Bangalore counsumer court?
3.How much compensation can I claim? I know this is subjective but what are the typicla figures for anguish, delays and other intangible costs of a deficient product
4.Can I ask that misleading ‘buyer protection program’ contents on their website be altered or removed. It would be a shame if they could continue to mislead customers
Many thanks once again
Hello sir,
I need your opinion of taking action against Karbonn mobiles . I bought a smart phone through online on May 4th 2013 with in 2 months of usage i realised it is a defective peace and submitted the same in
service center on 4th December 2013 and was given with a job sheet number. I was also informed that my problem will be resolved with 45 days from the date of complaint. Now it is almost 60 days neither service provider is responding nor the service manager not even a single official from karbonn. I am vexed off to reach customer care as it always rings but none of the executive answers, this is a daily routine for the past few weeks.Finally i dropped a mail to support team requesting the status of my mobile service, all i get is an automated mail stating my complaint is under process and we require some more time. No where they stated the status and how long they need as i already awaiting since 60 days.
So i thought of approaching consumer forum , request your support in this regard.

Good Day Sir/Mam,
On 28 Jan 2014, I had given my Micromax, android super canvas phone A100 model to Micromax service station at Eternity Mall Thane (w). which is not under warrenty. I had given it to remove 1. Little dust under the display. (2) A message pops up as “Android phone.com stopped working” and (3) photos taken are stored upside down in the gallery. The service station called me next day and gives me the estimate of Rs 9000 saying there is board issue. I told them there was no issue with the board. I told them that “in that amount of 9000, I can buy a new phone”. so don’t do anything. Next day when I went to collect the phone, I found out the display was in the dirty condition as if cleaned with dirty cloth, completely stained, and a scratch mark by the camera. and the person says me that they cannot clean the display. I told him that you already have tried to clean it, the dust has gone but it is not cleaned properly. Then I noticed the phone was not getting on at all and understood that the service center has damaged my phone. I again gave my phone back and told them to give me my phone in the same condition as I had given it to them. After two three days when I went, the display screen was able to get on but was not working. The touch screen was not working properly and was jumping, some application would come repeatedly. Nos would come continuously. Finally the service people are not agreeing on that they have damaged my phone Micromax A100. Can you please help me to get my phone back in good working condition as it was before? The phone was in good working condition. I mainly wanted to have only the dust removed from the screen.
Please help me get my phone back . Do you think I can put a case in consumer court. I have complained to Micromax Gurgaon main office, Delhi as well. even they say that you will have to pay the amount in lieu to get the phone repaired. I tried with Akosha and even they could not help me.
I have hopes that if only I file a complaint through consumer court, I might be able to get some help.

I Ashwin, booked a renault duster (INR 13,30,3000/-)from a dealer in Mysore on 28.12.2013, and on the delivery date (26.01.2014) i found out the vehicle they were trying to give me was of very old make of may 2013 which has been verified by decoding the VIN number also ac was not working, there were scratches and some visible parts were worn out. Had refused the delivery stating the same and asked for replacement of new vehicle on make 2014. The dealer initially refused but on complaint to renault customer care he agreed to deliver new vehicle of make 2014 within a weeks time. But since then i have been visiting the dealer every week, he makes false promises and is intentionally delaying the delivery. Its been 40 days since he promised me for a new vehicle.
Also have taken a loan from IOB for 11,50,000/- for the same and they have released the entire amount to the dealer on 18.01.2014 and i am incurring interest since then
I am fed up with the dealer and have asked for refund of money along with interest and compensation, but the dealer is so negligent he is not responding. Also have given him a hand written letter stating all the same and as a token of receipt have got the letter signed by the dealer with the dealers seal.
how should i take this up with the consumer court and what are all the compensation i can ask the dealer to pay for.
Please lend me your valuable feedback on this.
Thanks,
Ashwin Hebbal

Sir,
I have bought Lemon mobile for basic use for sms for Rs. 1000. But this phone has issue since first day I.e massage does not open unless you switch off the phone and turn it switch on.
I went two time lemon care after 2 days of purchase and told them the issue and they had sent my mobile for repairing . Now after 16 days a got my phone repaired but latter on when SMS came there was same hanging problem. No rectification, no solution of the problem.
I called lemon care and ask them what you have done in 16 days so far ?
I approached them to initiate a replacement or repair this mobile but they told me that “your mobile cannot be repaired and we advise you to call customer care and ask them what to do” .
I have tried al toll free numbers and other office no. Of LEMON MOBILE but none of them is active and not reachable.
I have also mailed to helpline@lemonmobile.com stating the problem and intimation for complaint in consumer fourm but no replay till the date I have received.
How poor their service is. There is No way to contact them .
Now I want to file a complaint even though considering the fact that my mobile is only Rs. 1000.
I have only invoice of purchase. Can I file complaint. Please tell me about written notice can be sent via mail?
Very poor service from lenovo
Hi,

Since then I am facing probem in audio system.
After trying reinstallation of drivers and factory resetting as suggested by your service executive on chat support, things are not improved.
Since then I am chasing them and no positive reply.
After my post on lenovo page on facebook, I am being contacted by lenovo executive that too on facebook private message.
After multiple chasers got Service Request:8002340372.
Last week I had received a call from lenovo and got the commitment that a senior technical officer will give me a call at 10am on Saturday I.e.29 mar 2014 and will resolve my issue.
But, didn’t got any call.
Really… I could not expect such service from a global brand.

Dear Mr Gupta,
Hats off for your “do it yourself for filing an application to the consumer forum and which is indeed very handy guide. I have two questions:
1) I live in Faridabad where as the company against whom I have to file the case is based out of Bombay – so where am I supposed to file my application of the grievance.
2) I and my wife are the joint owners of the property in question – will the application be made in the joint names or the first named person in the agreement.
3) If there are two issues that need to be addressed, will a single application suffice or two separate applications needed.
Cheers and thanks in advance of your continued guidance.

Good day sir, i booked Ford Ecosports in October ’13. I was told that it will be delivered in month of March ’14 or earlier if there will be cancellation.
In feb i got call from ford that vehicle had been alloted to me and delivered by end of february, never got.when I called customer care i was told that it was their mistake, the vehicle was meant for someone else, they mistakenly called me.
When i asked the time of delivery, they said another 6 months. I got angry and warned them to complain to higher level. Then the guy talked to someone and told me that it will be delivered by march end. Again not delivered. Now they are saying for delivery in month of may.
I don’t trust them.
Can i file a case in consumer court for compensation for the mental agony they cause and made me wait for last 2 months by lying to me continiously along with the booking amount.
Thanks.

Hi,
I made a booking with a real estate organisation named maxworth reality in Bangalore in dec 2012. Till date no registrations happened and in Jan 2014 maxworth reality and I made an agreement to cancel booking and to refund the whole amount on 1st March 2014. Till date they have not refunded any money and are making excuses. Going by there policy it states all refunds are processed with in 30 days and no interest paid during this time. But since they are holding my money outside of agreement date , are they eligible to pay me interest rates? I have mail communications from there organisation with the dates and I started to record our conversations after there manager asked if I have any evidenc of call recording.
Since I have already informed them in Jan 2014 for refund, should I still give them one more month notice? Is it possible to file a case online? I heard judgement from consumer courts are generally slow and will take years to complete?
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated
Thanks,

Respected Sir,
Few days back my child was admitted in a hospital and at that time what ever medicine were purchased from hospital medical store are sold me on MRP which is written on the medicine box. But the same medicine I was bought from other store which costs me less than half price of MRP with same company, batch no and with bill and store was also reputed store so that I inquired about price for the same medicine to one of my regular chemist and he also replied the same price(less than half price of MRP) which I got from the other store so is there any law or way to file a complain against such a medicine manufacturer and medical store. Because now a days majority hospitals are asking customers directly or indirectly to take medicine from hospital’s medical store only to make easy money from the customers. The medicine purchased was injectable antibiotic and very costly could you please let me know antibiotic drugs are fall under a life saver drug. I just want to make aware others that they are not become a victim like me. I was also visited that hospital medical store afterwards and showed original bill for the same medicine at that time he told me that what ever you want to do you can. So I would like to taught a lesson to that store owner and manufacturer of that medicine for printing this kind of MRP to cheat the customer. You are requested to kindly give your valuable suggestions on my email ID hp.patel82@gmail.com at earliest.

Hardik Patel
