Write short notes on the following.

State Commission

Answer 1

State Commissions have been established under the Consumer Protection Act for the redressal of various consumer grievances. A State Commission works at the state level and comprises a president and one or more members, one of whom is always a woman. A consumer can file a complaint in the appropriate State Commission in case the value of the goods or services in question is more than Rs 20 lakhs but less than Rs 1crore. Also, an aggrieved consumer not satisfied with the judgement of the lower forum (District Forum) can file an appeal before the State Commission.
