1. Right to Safety

2. Right to Be Informed

3. Right to Choose
Access to a variety of goods and services at competitive prices.

4. Right to Be Heard
Consumer interests receive due consideration by the government and businesses.

5. Right to Seek Redressal


Fair settlement of genuine grievances.

6. Right to Consumer Education


Knowledge and skills to be an informed consumer.

Conclusion:

Being aware of consumer rights not only protects individuals from exploitation but also
strengthens the market system. The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 in India ensures
these rights are enforceable by law, and empowers consumers to take action.
