Hi Dear Friend Satish, I am shiva from Hyd. As per reading your querry I would like to inform you that, since the service rendered by the Agent are purely of commercial in nature he cannot be treated as Consumer.

Dear Satish

As per definition of the consumer u/s 2 (1) (d) of the C.P. Act,1986 an agent of the Insurance Company cannot be said to be consumer. Moreover to file any case before the Consumer Forum under C.P.Act one need to be Consumer. As the relationship between agent and Insurance Company is one of Principal and Agent hence an Agent cannot come within the purview of Consumer.
