Advocate Ayantika Mondal Answered: 04 Apr 2026

Dear client, the unfair trade practices can be addressed under the Consumer Protection Act 2000 and 19 by filing a complaint before the appropriate consumer Commission seeking the refund compensation and Dear the penalties. Against an undisturbed immigration consultant, you can send a legal notice that demands refund within a specified time. and if it is ignored, file a consumer complaint and initiate a criminal action for cheating under the BNS. Legal notice charges usually range from ₹1000 to ₹5000, depending on the lawyer. Court fees in the consumer cases are minimal, making it an effective remedy. I hope this helps and if you have any further issues, do not hesitate to contact us.
