2. INTRODUCTION
We go to market and buy a variety of goods and avail
services required in or day-to-day life. In exchange of
these goods and services, we pay money and derive
satisfaction by consuming them. But sometimes, we
feel dissatisfied due to poor quality, high prices, false
promises made in advertisements, hidden information
and costs, etc. and so on. This is done because we are
not aware of our rights as a consumer

3. Who is Consumer?

which has been paid or promised, or partly paid and partly promised, or under any

with the approval of the buyer, but does not include a person who obtains goods for
resale or any commercial purpose.
ii. In Case of Use of Services- Any person who hires or avails of any service for a
consideration, which has been paid or promised or under any scheme of deferred
