Consumer related- refund of mbbs counselling security money

Kindly requesting for advice regarding maintainability of a consumer complaint for refund of ₹2,00,000 paid towards MBBS counselling security money to DGME, UP. The counselling record, application, and receipt are in the candidate’s name and roll number, but the payment was made by the father from his bank account on behalf of the candidate. In such circumstances, who has proper locus standi to file the complaint before the Consumer Commission- the candidate, the father, or both as co-complainants and what is the legally safest and practically accepted filing strategy to avoid objection on maintainability?

Either of them can be complainant, however, candidate would be in better footing as complainant.

Candidate is entitled to receive the security amount irrespective of fact that his father deposited the security amount from his own account.

Is it your personal case ?

If so, provide necessary details to a local prudent lawyer for necessary advise and proceeding.

Prima facie it is a time pass post.

The candidate is the aggrieved person hence he only can initiate the refund claim.

Yes, real issue.
MBBS counselling (UP state) security money is a refundable deposit taken by the state medical counselling authority during NEET UG counselling to ensure a candidate participates properly in the seat allotment process, and it is supposed to be refunded as per the official counselling rules after the counselling process is completed or if the candidate does not take admission.
In this real case, Applicant deposited ₹2,00,000 as security money for MBBS counselling under the state authority(DGME), the payment was made in July 2025 against official counselling demand and the receipt contains the candidate’s name and roll number, but even after completion of counselling on 31 Jan 2026 and repeated requests/grievances, the amount has not been refunded till date, so the issue is simply non-refund of a refundable counselling deposit despite completion of process and follow-ups.
As per rule they were supposed to refund within 60 days from the last counselling date which was 31 Jan 2026.
Now, it is overdue.
Thanks,
