A. Dear Client,
Since there is an absence of terms on refund policy in the contract, it might be difficult task for you to get back the refund amount from the service provider. However, a service provider cannot deny it as the services have not been availed by the consumer. You can file a consumer complaint against the service provider before the District Consumer Court for unfair trade practices and default in service and seek for the refund of the amount paid. Further, the complaint should be fil ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

This can be done at any stage of the proceedings until the final hearing concludes.

To address this, you should ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

The payment of road tax alone does not suffice for processing a vehicle registration application. The procedure mandates the payment of road tax at the current card rate, along with other requirements such as vehicle insurance, fitness certificate, pollution control certificate, etc. The date of road tax payment does not serve as the date of registration. If a revision in road tax occurs during the application processing, the registration is put on hold until the difference in the ...ReadMore
