Correct Answer: Option (C) — The District Forum entertains the complaints where the value of goods or services does not exceed rupees fifty lakhs.

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified

Statement (c) is incorrect: Under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, the pecuniary jurisdiction of the District Forum was up to ₹20 lakhs (not ₹50 lakhs). Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, this limit was enhanced to up to ₹1 crore (later adjusted to ₹50 lakh under revised rules in 2021). Thus, the statement given in 2010 was factually incorrect. Statements (a), (b), and (d) are correct provisions regarding the establishment, composition, and representative complaints at the District Forum.
