No, under Indian law, there is no requirement for a consumer filing a complaint in the District Consumer Forum to pay stamp duty on the amount they are seeking. This is because consumer complaints fall under the purview of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, which exempts such cases from stamp duty.
