Section 5: Procedure for meetings of the Central Council

The Consumer Protection Act, 1986 was repealed and replaced by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 from 20 July 2020. It still applies to matters and proceedings from before that date, as the repealing law provides.

(1) The Central Council shall meet as and when necessary, but [at least one meeting] of the Council shall be held every year.

(2) The Central Council shall meet at such time and place as the Chairman may think fit and shall observe such procedure in regard to the transaction of its business as may be prescribed.
