Bengaluru Consumer Commission Orders Refunds in Sofa and Chit Fund Cases
Two Bengaluru consumer commission rulings addressed disputes involving local residents. In one case, Ratnesh Nigam won a refund with interest and compensation after receiving sofas wider than agreed, with the store found guilty of deficient service. In another, Vishnuprasad was awarded over Rs 4 lakh plus interest after Samith Chits Pvt Ltd failed to pay his full chit fund prize, with bounced cheques cited. Both orders highlight consumer protection enforcement in Bengaluru.
