E-DAAKHIL PORTAL

E-Daakhil portal for consumer grievance redressal is operational in 15 States/UTs.

What is E-Daakhil Portal?

  • It is a portal for e-filing of consumer complaints with the National Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission (NCDRC) and other consumer commissions.
  • It was launched by the NCDRC in September 2020 with Delhi being the first state to implement it.
  • The fees for filing the complaint can also be paid online through the e-Daakhil portal.
  • The e-Daakhil portal empowers the consumer and their advocates to file the consumer complaints along with payment of requisite fees online from anywhere for the redressal of their complaints.
  • It also facilitates the consumer commissions to scrutinize the complaints online to accept, reject or forward the complaint to the concerned commission for further processing.
  • To facilitate rural consumers for e-filing, it has been decided to integrate the Common Service Centres (CSC) with the e-daakhil portal.
  • As many consumers at Gram Panchayat level may either not have access to electronic modes of communication or are unable to use the tools, they may avail the services of CSCs in filing their complaints in the Consumer Commission. Also read: Consumer Protection Act, 2019
