Since the institute is providing online service, the complaint needs to be filed online mode through e-daakhil portal ( https://edaakhil.nic.in/edaakhil/ ) following the provision of Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules and Consumer Protection(Direct Selling) Rules, 2021. Since a Complaint under the Act is required be filed within two years from the date of cause of action, so, it is time-barred under Sec.69 of the Act. Accordingly, you have to file an additional petition praying for condonation of delay along with the original complaint petition enclosing therewith sufficient proofs that support your prayer for condonation of delay.
