National Consumer Day is celebrated every year on 24 December.
On this day in the year 1986, the Consumer Protection Act Bill was passed.
The objective of this law is to provide effective safeguards to consumers against various forms of exploitation, such as defective goods, deficiency in services, and unfair trade practices.
This day was celebrated for the first time in India in the year 2000.
The Consumer Protection Act of 1986 marks a structural change in consumer rights.
Earlier, there was a lack of special laws for consumers to redress their complaints, and consumers had to face more difficulties in getting redressal.
