The District Consumer Protection Council of a district in Gujarat held only one meeting in a year to discuss complaints against local bank branches. Under the Act, what is the correct position?

At least two meetings must be held every year. Section 8(3) provides that the District Council meets as and when necessary but not less than two meetings annually, so a single meeting in a year does not meet the statutory requirement.

  1. AOne meeting a year is sufficient
  2. BNot less than two meetings must be held every yearCorrect
  3. CNot less than four meetings must be held every year
  4. DMeetings are held only when the Central Government directs

Explanation

Section 8(3) says the District Council shall meet as and when necessary but not less than two meetings shall be held every year. One meeting falls short. Four meetings is not the requirement.
