  1. Recall the hierarchy of consumer forums: District, State, and National.
  2. Refer to the Act for the monetary limit fixed for the District Commission.
  3. The Act specifies that the DCDRC can entertain complaints where the value of goods or services and the compensation claimed does not exceed Rs. 1 crore.
