Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) will be set up under Consumer Protection Act 2019, will address issues related to consumer rights, unfair trade practices, misleading advertisements and impose penalties for selling spurious and adulterated products.
Parliament last year approved ‘The Consumer Protection Bill 2019’, replacing the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The law seeks to revamp the process of administration and settlement of consumer disputes, with strict penalties, including jail term for adulteration and misleading ads by firms.
The district collectors have also been empowered to conduct investigations that affect the interests of the consumer as a class under the new law under the aegis of CCPA. The establishment of a central authority and initiating action as a class comes as an additional mode of relief that can be exercised along with individual consumers filing complaints to address their grievances thereby having two parallel proceedings.
