The consumer courts in India are part of a three-tier system. A consumer can reach out to them based on the compensation amounts or dissatisfation over a verdict at each level. These are:

1. The district redressal forum settles disputes where the compensation claimed is not more than 20 lakh rupees.
2. The state redressal forum settles disputes where the compensation claimed is more than 20 lakh rupees but less than 1 crore rupees.
3. The National redressal forum settles disputes where the compensation claimed is 1 crore rupees or more.
