We charge Rs 300 for sending a notice to the Opposite Party. This is non-refundable if your complaint gets rejected because you failed to follow the procedure given below or for any other reason. Your documents will not be returned as they are our property and we destroy them after use.

 

Steps to file complaint:

1) Pay Rs 300 by net banking and note the net banking transaction number.
