Quick Summary

A buyer in Delhi paid a 30,000 advance to a seller for a product but never received it. After two months of no contact, the buyer is considering filing an FIR. Legal advice suggests approaching the consumer forum and potentially filing an FIR under Section 420 IPC where the money was transferred.

An FIR may not be much help. Approach the consumer forum after serving a legal notice, though such is not mandatory.

Dear Sir,

You have 2 remedies i.e. Civil and Criminal.
1. You may file consumer complaint before the District Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission of the area where you reside under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. AND
2. You may also file FIR u/s 420 IPC in the police Station. The complaint is filed in the area where the offence has taken place. In the present case, you may file FIR where money was given/transferred.
