National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) is a quasi-judicial government commission established in India in 1988 under the Consumer Protection Act of 1986. Headquartered in New Delhi, it serves as the apex national-level forum for consumer dispute resolution in India. The NCDRC is headed by a sitting or retired judge of the Supreme Court of India or a sitting or retired Chief Justice of a High Court.

The commission has jurisdiction to entertain consumer complaints valued at over ₹2 crore (US$250,000) and also possesses appellate and revisional authority over State and District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions. It forms part of a three-tier quasi-judicial system established under the Consumer Protection Act to provide speedy and inexpensive redressal of consumer disputes.

As of 2024, the NCDRC is headed by Justice Amreshwar Pratap Sahi, former Chief Justice of Patna and Madras High Courts, and comprises nine other members. Appeals against NCDRC orders can be filed with the Supreme Court of India within 30 days.
