Filing consumer grievances in India shouldn't be this hard

Every year, millions of Indian consumers face issues with online orders: wrong products, delayed deliveries, refunds stuck for months. The government's National Consumer Helpline portal exists to help, but the complaint form is long, confusing, and time-consuming. That's why we built AutoComplaint, a Chrome extension that reads your Amazon & Shopify order details and auto-fills the complaint form, so you can file in minutes instead of hours.

Over 88,000 consumer complaints are filed monthly on the NCH portal (2024 data), with a 65% first-stage resolution rate. AutoComplaint helps you become part of that statistic faster.

How to file a consumer complaint in India

Step 1: Identify your grievance. Check if your issue qualifies: delayed delivery, defective product, overcharging, misleading ads, or refund not processed. Under the Consumer Protection Act 2019, you have the right to seek redressal.

Step 2: Gather your order details. You'll need your order ID, purchase date, seller name, and invoice. AutoComplaint reads this directly from Amazon or Shopify. No manual copy-pasting required.

Step 3: File on the National Consumer Helpline. Visit consumerhelpline.gov.in and fill the complaint form. AutoComplaint auto-fills the form fields for you. Just review the details and hit submit.

Step 4: Track and escalate. After filing, you'll receive a Docket Number. If unresolved within 45 days, you can escalate to the Consumer Commission (District up to ₹1 crore, State up to ₹10 crore, National above ₹10 crore).

Your consumer rights under Indian law

The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 grants every Indian consumer six fundamental rights:

  • Right to Safety: protection against hazardous goods and services
  • Right to be Informed: access to accurate information about quality, quantity, potency, purity, standard, and price
  • Right to Choose: access to a variety of goods and services at competitive prices
  • Right to be Heard: your complaints must be heard and addressed by consumer forums
  • Right to Seek Redressal: fair settlement of genuine grievances
  • Right to Consumer Education: awareness of your rights and responsibilities

If any of these rights are violated during an online purchase on Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, or any Shopify-powered store, you can file a complaint on the National Consumer Helpline (NCH) portal or call the toll-free number 1800-11-4000.
