The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 lets consumers seek relief before consumer commissions at district, state and national level, and complaints can be filed online. Before that, the National Consumer Helpline can often resolve things. GurugramHelp assists with documenting the complaint and preparing it for filing.
How do I file a consumer complaint in Gurugram?
First raise it in writing with the seller or service provider, and try the National Consumer Helpline (1915). If it is still unresolved, file a complaint with the District Consumer Commission, online or in person, with the bill, warranty, correspondence and a clear statement of the loss.
What counts
- Defective goods or deficient services
- Unfair trade practices and misleading advertisements
- Overcharging
- Refunds or replacements wrongly refused
- Insurance, banking, telecom, e-commerce and real estate complaints
Keep the evidence
- Invoice or receipt
- Warranty card or terms
- Photographs or videos of the defect
- Emails, chats and complaint numbers
- Delivery records
Time limit
A consumer complaint should generally be filed within two years of the cause of action. A late complaint needs a reason the commission accepts.

Common questions
Do I need a lawyer for a consumer complaint?
No. Consumers can file and argue their own complaints, though many choose an advocate for complex or high-value cases.

Where do I file if the company is based elsewhere?
You can generally file where you live or work, as well as where the company is located.
