Solution

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC), India, is a semi-legal commission in India that was set up in 1988 under the Consumer Protection Act of 1986. Its administrative centre is in New Delhi. The commission is headed by a sitting or retired judge of the Supreme Court of India. The commission is, as of now, headed by Justice R K Agrawal, previous adjudicator of the Supreme Court of India.

Section 21 of Consumer Protection Act, 1986 places that the National Consumer will have jurisdiction: To engage an objection valued more than one crore and furthermore have Appellate and Revisional purview from the sets of State Commissions or the District fora by and large.

Section 23 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, gives that any individual aggrieved by a request or an order for NCDRC might favour an Appeal against such request to the Supreme Court of India within a time of 30 days.
