Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) The District Forum entertains the complaints where the value of goods or services does not exceed rupees fifty lakhs
Under Section 11 of the Consumer Protection Act 1986 (as it stood in 2010), a District Forum could entertain complaints where the value of goods/services did not exceed ₹20 lakh, not ₹50 lakh. Therefore statement 3 (option c) is incorrect, while the other statements accurately reflect provisions allowing multiple forums, mandatory inclusion of a woman member, and locus standi of State Government.([studyadda.com](https://www.studyadda.com/question-bank/judiciary_q98/4460/346932))
