Solution

Section 34 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, increased the pecuniary jurisdiction of District Commissions from Rs. 20 lakhs (under 1986 Act) to Rs. 1 crore (Rs. 100 lakhs). A District Commission can entertain complaints where the value of goods or services and the compensation sought does not exceed Rs. 1 crore. Appeals from District Commission orders lie to State Commission under Section 47. This substantial increase was introduced to reduce burden on higher forums and provide effective redressal at the district level itself. The amended limits reflect inflation adjustments and market realities, encouraging consumers to file at appropriate forums.
