No particular format is prescribed for filing a complaint. A complaint can be filed even on plain paper. The services of an Advocate are not required. Complaints, where the value of goods or services and the compensation, if any, claimed does not exceed Rs. 20 lakhs, can be filed before a District Forum where Opposite Party resides.
Complaint can be registered within 2 years from the date on which the cause of action hadarisen.

You better contact the local consumer office. You need not engage an advocate and if you seek any help they would provide you the format and other information you are looking for.

first you should make a detailed complain to the authorities of the goods office were you bought the goods and if you have no response even after 15 days then you should complain in the consumer court with your detailed complain letter with xerox copies of the bills and any correspondence if any at consumer court and as said if the amount exceeds then at district forum
