Consumer Protection Act 1986

Consumer Protection Act 1986: Consumer Protection Act was enacted in 1986 or may be enacted in the future to safeguard consumer rights. It protects the consumer against company practices that exploit the customer in order to maximize profits at the expense of the consumer’s and society’s well-being.

This right assists in educating consumers about their rights and obligations as consumers, as well as how to seek aid or justice when they are victims of consumer exploitation. It teaches the customer how to make good decisions and distinguish between right and wrong.

Business Practices to Follow Under the Consumer Protection Act

If a problem is discovered, the seller is responsible for removing the defects from the whole batch or the items in question. For example, when a car manufacturing unit discovers a flaw in one of the vehicle’s components, the defect is normally removed from all units or the unit is recalled.

They should replace the damaged product with a nondefective one that has a comparable configuration or is identical to the one that was bought.
