Consumer Court
Limitation Period Calculator
Calculate the 2-year filing deadline under Section 69 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 from your cause of action date.
A consumer complaint must be filed within 2 years from the date the cause of action arose. If filed after 2 years, you must provide reasons — the forum may condone the delay if satisfied. Earlier the better: do not wait near the deadline.

Important Notes on Limitation
• The 2-year period runs from the date the cause of action arose, not the date you decided to file.
• For ongoing violations (e.g., builder still not giving possession), the limitation runs continuously.
• Time spent in mediation or NCH proceedings may be excluded under Section 69(2).
• If the last day falls on a court holiday, you may file on the next working day.
• Do not wait until the last few days — consumer forum counters have practical delays.
