Today, we're looking at the last two rights in our series '#ConsumerRights'. As a #consumer, you have the right to seek redressal for your consumer grievances.

Competitive markets are better for #consumers - there is more choice at better prices. Should there be a monopoly on a particular service (for example the electricity services provided by #TANGEDCO), the consumer is still assured of high quality services at fair prices through laws & regulations. Consumer groups like CAG give consumers a voice - again, an undeniable right that you have as a consumer. #ConsumerRights #Awareness

Behind the labels

Fri, 06/08/2021 - 17:06

A CAG study in 5 cities in Tamil Nadu on compliance of plastic packaging used for food products with recycling labelling as required by BIS. The study also seeks to understand if the information provided is accessible and useful to consumers through a perception survey. The study found that recycling labels rarely provide all the information required as per law and that most of them are hard to locate, read, and understand. Consumers cannot make an informed choice unless a standard labelling mechanism is set up that is focussed on providing information in an appropriate manner.
