Dear Client, yes. If the National Consumer Helpline could not resolve your issue, you can file a case before the appropriate Consumer Commission under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Keep all relevant documents ready, such as bills, invoices, emails, messages, and complaint records. In your complaint, explain what happened, what loss or problem you suffered, and what relief you are seeking. The case can generally be filed online or before the appropriate Consumer Commission having jurisdiction over the matter. I hope this helps, and do not hesitate to reach out if you have further questions.

If the National Consumer Helpline did not help, you can file a complaint in District Consumer Court. File it online on https://edaakhil.nic.in or submit a physical complaint. Include all documents, proof, and correspondence. No lawyer is required but helpful. Filing fees are minimal (₹100–₹500 based on your claim amount). For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
