The Department of Consumer Affairs (DoCA), Government of India, recently held a review meeting to assess the status of vacancies in District and State Consumer Commissions across the country. Chaired by the Secretary of the Department, Smt. Nidhi Khare, the meeting was attended by Principal Secretaries, Directors, and senior officials from relevant State and Union Territory departments.
During the meeting, the Secretary emphasized the urgency of filling vacancies to ensure timely and efficient resolution of consumer disputes. She highlighted the need for States and UTs to expedite the appointment process for qualified candidates, aligning with the government’s commitment to addressing consumer grievances effectively. The Secretary urged stakeholders to prioritize the matter, stressing that the proper functioning of Consumer Commissions is critical for safeguarding consumer rights and maintaining service standards.
The meeting included a comprehensive analysis of current vacancy data. As of October 2024, significant gaps persist in the positions of Presidents and Members in both District and State Consumer Commissions. Specifically, 18 President and 56 Member positions remain vacant in State Commissions, while 162 President and 427 Member positions are unfilled in District Commissions nationwide. Despite ongoing efforts, the number of vacancies has increased in recent years, prompting concern from the Secretary, who called for swift action from the States and UTs to address the issue.
Referencing the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, the Secretary highlighted Section 32, which permits assigning additional charges to other District Commissions if needed to maintain functionality. This provision aims to mitigate disruptions caused by vacancies.
The meeting fostered constructive dialogue with State and UT representatives, resulting in a shared understanding of the need to prioritize filling these roles to prevent delays in hearings and reduce case backlogs. The Ministry reiterated its commitment to collaborating with stakeholders to establish a transparent, efficient, and objective process for addressing vacancies in Consumer Commissions. This initiative reflects the government’s dedication to strengthening the consumer redressal mechanism and enhancing its overall efficiency across the nation.

The Food Safety & Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) held a meeting with e-commerce Food Business Operators (FBOs) under the leadership of the CEO to reinforce compliance with food safety standards. During the meeting, the CEO emphasized the need for e-commerce FBOs to ensure that food products delivered to consumers have a minimum shelf life of 30 percent or 45 days before expiry. This measure is aimed at guaranteeing the freshness and quality of food items.
The CEO also issued a caution to FBOs against making unsupported claims online, stressing the importance of preventing misleading information to protect consumer rights. He underscored the role of online platforms in maintaining transparency and safeguarding public health. A key point of the discussion was the mandate that no FBO should operate on an e-commerce platform without a valid FSSAI license or registration, emphasizing the need for strict adherence to regulatory standards.
In addition, the CEO clarified that product claims made on e-commerce platforms must align with the details provided on product labels, as per FSSAI’s Labelling and Display Regulations. To enhance food safety, he instructed FBOs to ensure proper training for delivery personnel, equipping them with essential knowledge of food safety and hygiene practices.
