There is no limitaion as such for the filing a complaint. The complaint should be within a reasonable time when the Defeciency of service or goods is noticed, when you are aggrieved by that.

Manish Singh (Expert) 03 November 2008

Under the Consumer Protection Act, the limitation period is two years (Sec 24 A), but there is a proviso for condonation of delay provided you can satisfy the forum that the delay was bona fide and genuine, and not on account of callousness or ignorance on your part. The claim should also not be barred under the general law of limitation. Whether or not to condone delay is the discretion of the forum. But in certain cases, even the forum does not enjoy any such discretionary power.

Manish Sir is right. The limitation period for filing a consumer complaint is 2 years from the date when the cause of action arose but even after that you can file a complaint but you have to stisfy that the dealy is genuine

Both my friends were correct. Mr.Manish, thanks for saying me a term that a genuine reason can satisfy the court for the delay

I agree with the view that 2 years is the limitation stipulated in the CP Act with a provision empowering the Consumer courts with the discretion to condone delay exceeding the said two year period if sufficient reasons are shown.

Adv.Shine Thomas (Expert) 10 November 2008
