Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019: District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (DCDRC) — complaints up to Rs. 50 lakhs. State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (SCDRC) — above Rs. 50 lakhs up to Rs. 2 crores. National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) — above Rs. 2 crores.

MACT compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 is calculated on the principles laid down by the Supreme Court — principally the Sarla Verma formula (for death cases) and the method for permanent disability cases. Key heads include: loss of dependency/income, medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of future earnings, loss of consortium, and funeral/transportation expenses. The multiplier method applies based on the age of the deceased or injured. No-fault liability compensation is also available under Section 163A MV Act for limited amounts without proof of negligence.
Yes — an application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 BNSS (formerly Section 438 CrPC) can be filed even before an FIR is registered, provided there is an apprehension of arrest. The applicant must show a reasonable basis for such apprehension. The Sessions Court and the High Court have concurrent jurisdiction to grant anticipatory bail. The court considers factors including the nature of the accusation, antecedents of the applicant, the possibility of fleeing justice, and whether the accusation appears to be made with mala fide intent.
Under Section 69 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, a complaint must be filed within 2 years from the date on which the cause of action arose. The Commission may condone delay if sufficient cause is shown. If the opposite party does not object to the delay, the Commission may proceed with the complaint. It is important to file promptly — delay in filing can be a ground for dismissal at the threshold stage.
