Reading: I bought a phone from a well-known Indian company recently. The box proudly claims a feature in big letters, but it’s completely untrue! The phone doesn’t even have that function. I’m a business student and I’m pretty sure this is misleading advertising. Can I demand compensation directly from the company, or do I need to follow a legal process? I’ve already contacted them, but they haven’t gotten back to me yet.

You can demand compensation from the company under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. You can initiate a legal process in the Consumer Forum if the company doesn’t respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe or doesn’t offer a satisfactory solution.
