Now- a- days it has become very difficult for the consumer to make an effective choice because of the large variety of goods and services available in the market. Further a consumer is constantly exploited by the seller, traders and producers through unfair and unethical practices adopted in the market. Food adulteration, short weighments, hoardings, black marketing, fluctuation in prices and misleading advertisements are some of the problem faced by every consumer. To minimize consumer exploitation and to protect the consumers from market malpractices, certain rights are given to the consumers.
