    Central consumer protection authority under
    consumer protection act 2019
     The authority is being constituted under Section 10(1) of The Consumer Protection Act,
    2019.
     The Act replaced The Consumer Protection Act, 1986, and seeks to widen its scope in
    addressing consumer concerns.
     The CCPA, introduced in the new Act, aims to protect the rights of the consumer by
    cracking down on unfair trade practices, and false and misleading advertisements that are
    causing harm to the interests of the public and consumers.
    Structure of CCPA

     The proposed authority will be a lean body with a Chief Commissioner as head, and only
    two other commissioners as members — one of whom will deal with matters relating to
    goods while the other will look into cases relating to services.
     It will be headquartered in the NCR of Delhi but the central government may set up
    regional offices in other parts of the country.
     The CCPA will have an Investigation Wing that will be headed by a Director General.
     District Collectors too, will have the power to investigate complaints of violations of
    consumer rights, unfair trade practices, and false or misleading advertisements.
    Power of CCPA

    Under Section 20 of The Consumer Protection Act, the proposed authority will have powers
    to:
     recall goods or withdrawal of services that are “dangerous, hazardous or unsafe;
     pass an order for refund the prices of goods or services so recalled to purchasers of such
    goods or services and
     discontinuation of practices which are unfair and prejudicial to consumer’s interest
     For search and seizure, the CCPA will have similar powers given under the provisions of
    The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
     While conducting an investigation after preliminary inquiry, officers of the CCPA’s
    Investigation Wing will have the powers to enter any premise and search for any document
    or article, and to seize these.
    For manufacture, selling, storage, distribution, or import of adulterated products, the penalties
    are:
     If injury is not caused to a consumer, fine up to Rs 1 lakh with imprisonment up to six
    months;
     If injury is caused, fine up to Rs 3 lakh with imprisonment up to one year;
     If grievous hurt is caused, fine up to Rs 5 lakh with imprisonment up to 7 years;
     In case of death, fine of Rs 10 lakh or more with a minimum imprisonment of 7 years,
    extendable to imprisonment for life.
    Deal with false or misleading advertisements

     Section 21 of the new Act defines the powers given to the CCPA to crack down on false or
    misleading advertisements.
     The CCPA may order investigation that any advertisement is false or misleading and is
    harmful to the interest of any consumer, or is in contravention of consumer rights.
     If dissatisfied, the CCPA may issue directions to the trader, manufacturer, endorser,
    advertiser, or publisher to discontinue such an advertisement, or modify it in a manner
    specified by the authority, within a given time.
    Penalties

     The authority may also impose a penalty up to Rs 10 lakh, with imprisonment up to two
    years, on the manufacturer or endorser of false and misleading advertisements.
     The penalty may go up to Rs 50 lakh, with imprisonment up to five years, for every
    subsequent offence committed by the same manufacturer or endorser.
     CCPA may ban the endorser of a false or misleading advertisement from making
    endorsement of any products or services in the future, for a period that may extend to one
    year.
     The ban may extend up to three years in every subsequent violation of the Act.
