Consumer Rights Violations
Consumer rights violations are prevalent in India, primarily due to a lack of awareness, education, and understanding of laws and regulations among consumers. Many individuals, especially in economically disadvantaged districts and states, remain uninformed about their rights. This ignorance makes them vulnerable to unscrupulous producers and retailers who exploit their lack of knowledge.
Below are common instances of consumer rights violations
