• D. 1979

Hint:

The Consumer Protection Act of 1986 is a landmark law in India that empowers consumers to seek redressal in case of grievances related to unfair trade practices.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Consumer Protection Act, which is an important piece of legislation in India aimed at protecting the rights of consumers, was enacted in the year 1986. This act established consumer councils at both the central and state levels to address grievances related to the unfair trade practices faced by consumers. The law provides a framework for consumers to file complaints regarding defective goods, unfair trade practices, and service deficiencies.
The options listed:
- 1987 is incorrect because the Consumer Protection Act was enacted in 1986, not in 1987.
- 1980 is also incorrect as it predates the establishment of the act.
- 1979 is incorrect for the same reason, as the act was established in 1986, not earlier.
Thus, the correct year of establishment of the Consumer Protection Act is 1986.
