A ₹500 loss can still be a valid consumer complaint.
Many people believe that consumer cases are only worth filing when the loss is big.
In reality, consumer law protects you even for small amounts.
Whether it’s:
A defective mobile phone
Wrong electricity bill
Poor internet service
Delayed delivery
Faulty home appliances
You have the right to ask for:
Refund
Replacement
Compensation for mental harassment
The law recognises that mental stress and inconvenience are also losses, not just money.
Not keeping bills or invoices
Trusting verbal promises
Missing complaint deadlines
Accepting poor service silently
Even a small complaint sends a strong message —
Consumers are not helpless.
