Why Track Your Consumer Complaint?

Tracking your consumer complaint is key to:

• Know the Progress: See if your case is moving, stuck or resolved.
• Hold Businesses Accountable: Ensure companies or courts act promptly.
• Spot Issues Early: Catch delays or missing documents to avoid setbacks.
• Plan Next Steps: Access case details for appeals or escalation. Whether you filed with a company or a consumer court (District, State or National), online tracking saves time and empowers you to protect your rights.

Can Consumer Complaints Be Tracked Online?

Yes, most consumer complaints in India can be tracked online. Platforms like the National Consumer Helpline, E-Daakhil for consumer courts and company grievance portals offer real-time updates. 

These systems provide transparency, letting you monitor responses, hearing dates or resolutions with a complaint ID or case number. Rural consumers can also call NCH’s toll-free line (1800-11-4000) for updates, ensuring accessibility for all.

Online Tracking Tools

Here are the main platforms to track your consumer complaints:

• National Consumer Helpline (NCH): File complaints against businesses via www.nationalconsumerhelpline.in or the NCH app (iOS/Android). Use your complaint ID to check company responses or resolution status.
• E-Daakhil Portal: For consumer court cases (District, State or National), E-Daakhil tracks case status, hearings and judgments. You need a case ID from your filing.
• State Consumer Court Portals: States like Maharashtra or Delhi use portals like e-Jagriti. Check your state’s consumer forum website for court-specific tracking.
• Company Grievance Portals: E-commerce or insurance companies often have “Track Complaint” sections on their websites. Use your complaint ID or registered email.
• Email/SMS Notifications: NCH and E-Daakhil send updates on case numbers, progress or deadlines. These tools are user-friendly, but seniors can request priority updates via courts and rural consumers can use NCH’s toll-free line (1915) for assistance.
