  1. India's Consumer Rights and Responsibilities

  2. Introduction • The foundation of the Indian economy is its consumer base. But this important position has responsibilities as well as rights. It is not only advantageous but also necessary for every Indian citizen to be aware of their rights and obligations as consumers. The law expects consumers to behave responsibly even while it offers a robust safeguard. This blog provides a thorough overview of consumer rights, examines consumer obligations, and describes how you can protect your interests as a customer.

  3. What Are the Rights of the Consumer? • A legally recognised claim that gives consumers the ability to obtain fair treatment, precise information, a correct product, and protection from market abuse is known as a consumer right. Every consumer is guaranteed the ability to make knowledgeable decisions and, if required, seek remedy thanks to these rights. In India, these rights are codified under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which attempts to achieve equilibrium between consumers and businesses.

  4. Consumer Responsibilities: What Are They? • Knowing your rights is vital, but it's just as crucial to comprehend your obligations as a customer. By being vigilant, knowledgeable, and moral in their purchasing decisions, a responsible consumer helps create a marketplace that is equitable, secure, and sustainable. Buyers and sellers are guaranteed to respect and be accountable to one another when rights and obligations are balanced.

  5. What Actions Has the Government Taken To Safeguard The Rights Of Consumers? • The Indian government has worked hard to defend the rights of consumers: • Consumer Protection Act, 2019 • Consumer Dispute Redressal Commissions (CDRCs) • Online Grievance Portals • Mandatory Product Labeling and Advertising • Jago Grahak Jago Campaign

  6. What Actions Can a Customer Take To Safeguard His Rights? • For consumers to actively defend their rights, they need to: • File grievances with vendors, producers, or service suppliers. • If the issue remains unsolved, file complaints in various consumer complaint forums, such as the District, State, or National CDRCs. • For prompt grievance resolution, use the National Consumer Helpline or smartphone apps. • Engage in consumer advocacy campaigns and forums.
