"The proposed amendments would make the Act even more dynamic, responsive and consumer-friendly," Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Sharad Paw said after inaugurating the Central Consumer Protection Council (CCPC) meeting in New Delhi.
The Consumer Protection Act has already been amended three times in the past. Informing that the Planning Commission and the Finance Ministry have provided adequate budgetary allocation to strengthen the infrastructure of consumer fora, Pawar said computerisation of such fora is being executed on a priority basis by the National Informatics Centre.
Under this project, the National Commission, 34 State Commissions and 593 District fora have been provided with computer hardware and software. Funds to the tune of Rs 73.82 crore have been released to 21 states, in addition to the Rs 72 crore that had been given to the states under one-time grant, to prop up infrastructure of consumer fora, Pawar said.
