Question

Assertion (A): As per Consumer Protection Act, 2019, State Commission can service consumer complaints where claim is not more than Rs. 1 crore.

Reason (R): State Commission is set up by state government.

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is True but Reason (R) is False.

• Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True.

Answer 1

Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True.

Explanation:

The State Commission now handles cases up to ₹2 crore, not ₹1 crore, so Assertion (A) is false. However, Reason (R) is true because State Commissions are indeed set up by state governments.
