Question:
What is NCDRC and why it is important for consumer cases?
Answer:
NCDRC stands for National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. It is India’s national-level consumer forum where consumers can file high-value disputes, appeal against State Consumer Commissions orders or file revision against State orders in suitable cases. NCDRC is important because consumer disputes with serious money matters, complicated facts, higher-value products or detailed legal questions are litigated there. A builder buyer dispute for high-value flats, large insurance claims matter, big-value medical negligence complaint or serious deficiency in banking services are examples of cases which might require national-level consumer litigation in NCDRC if claim/value is within prescribed jurisdiction.
But why NCDRC matters for consumers. National Commission matters because it has power to examine all angles of the dispute. National Commission decides whether consumer received deficient service, whether opposite party resorted to unfair trade practice, whether compensation was wrongly denied or whether State Commission made mistake while adjudicating the matter. Most importantly, if NCDRC hears your case, someone from LEGAL365 will help you prepare documents.
