What is Consumer Dispute Cases?
Consumer rights in India are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 2019, which gives every buyer of goods or services the right to file a complaint against defective products, deficient services, unfair trade practices, and misleading advertisements. In Bengaluru, consumer complaints are filed before the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (DCDRC) for claims up to ₹50 lakhs, the Karnataka State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission for claims between ₹50 lakhs and ₹2 crores, and the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) in New Delhi for amounts above ₹2 crores. Consumer courts across India cover a wide range of disputes — from builders who have delayed possession of a flat in a registered project, to e-commerce companies that have refused refunds, hospitals that have overcharged, airlines that have denied boarding compensation, and banks that have mis-sold insurance products. The process is consumer-friendly, filing fees are nominal, and individuals can appear without a lawyer in the district commission. At Right Assets Management, we connect you with consumer lawyers across India and also guide you through the self-filing process for straightforward complaints. We are not a law firm, but we help you quantify your full claim — including compensation for mental agony and litigation costs — and present a clear, well-documented case that gives you the best chance of a favourable order.
Who Is This For?
- Homebuyers across India whose builder has delayed possession beyond the agreed date in the sale agreement
- Customers who have been denied refunds or received defective products from e-commerce platforms
- Patients or families who have experienced medical negligence, overcharging, or deficient treatment at hospitals
- Passengers denied compensation for flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding by airlines operating from Bengaluru
- Customers who have been mis-sold financial products — insurance policies, mutual funds, or investment schemes — by banks or agents
- Individuals who have paid for a service — education, professional services, construction work — and received deficient or incomplete delivery
How We Help — Step by Step
Complaint Assessment
You brief our team on your consumer dispute. We assess whether it qualifies as a deficiency of service, defective product, or unfair trade practice under the Consumer Protection Act 2019, and estimate the value of your claim including compensation and costs.
Legal Notice to Opposite Party
In many cases, sending a formal legal notice to the company or service provider resolves the matter without court filing. We facilitate this step and give the opposite party a clear deadline to respond or settle.
Complaint Drafting
If the notice is ignored or rejected, we draft your consumer complaint — clearly stating the facts, the deficiency or defect, the relief sought (refund, replacement, compensation, or all three), and attaching all supporting documents.
Filing at the Correct Commission
We help you determine whether to file before the District Consumer Commission across India or the State Commission, based on the value of your claim, and assist with the nominal filing fee payment.
Lawyer Matching (if required)
For complex matters — medical negligence, builder disputes, or high-value cases — we connect you with a consumer lawyer across India. For straightforward cases, we guide you through self-representation, which is fully permitted and often effective.
Hearing Representation
At each commission hearing, you or your lawyer respond to the opposite party's written version, submit additional evidence as directed, and argue for the relief you have sought.
Order Enforcement
Once the commission passes an order, we assist with enforcement if the opposite party fails to comply within the stipulated period — including execution proceedings with interest and penalty under the Consumer Protection Act.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to file a consumer case across India?
Consumer court filing fees in India are very nominal and are tiered by claim value. For claims up to ₹5 lakhs, the fee is ₹200. For ₹5 to ₹10 lakhs it is ₹400, and it scales up proportionally for higher amounts. There are no court fees in the traditional sense — the process is designed to be accessible without a large financial outlay.
Can I file a consumer case against a builder across India for delayed possession?
Yes. Builder delays are one of the most common consumer complaints across India. You can claim the agreed penalty for delay as per the sale agreement, interest on your invested amount, and compensation for mental agony. If the project is RERA-registered, you can also file before the Karnataka RERA authority. Both forums can be pursued — our team helps you decide the best approach.
How long does a consumer case take across India district commission?
The Consumer Protection Act 2019 mandates that cases should be decided within 150 days of filing. In practice, the Bengaluru district commission typically resolves matters within six months to two years depending on complexity and workload. Straightforward cases with clear documentation often resolve faster, especially when the opposite party prefers settlement.
Can I claim compensation for mental agony in a consumer case?
Yes. The Consumer Protection Act specifically allows consumer commissions to award compensation for mental agony and harassment caused by the deficiency of service, in addition to the actual refund or replacement value. Bengaluru consumer commissions regularly award such compensation — especially in cases involving builder delays, medical negligence, and insurance mis-selling.
Is Right Assets Management a consumer law firm?
No. We are a legal advisory and facilitation service. We assess your complaint, help you draft the consumer notice and complaint, determine the correct forum, and connect you with consumer lawyers for complex cases. For straightforward consumer complaints, we can guide you through self-representation — consumer commissions are specifically designed to be accessible without mandatory legal representation.
