India enacted Consumer Protection Act in 1986 with a view to providing for better protection of the interests of the consumers. This is a special Act and the provisions of this Act are not in derogation of any other law. This means the protection available under this Act is in addition to the remedy available under any other governing laws unless the other Act is a special Act enacted after 1986. Government has now passed Consumer Protection Act, 2019 which will repeal the old Act 1986.
India Consumer Forum, a non-government setup, was launched in 2009 with a view to assisting consumers in resolving their grievances and also to create awareness among the consumers on consumer products and services.
