Explanation:

Under COPRA, the Indian govt.has set up comsumer courts for the protection of consumers against exploitation by unfair and unethical trade practises by sellers, producers and other service providers.

These courts have been set up at three levels,-Central, State and District Levels.

i)Central consumer courts address and settle claims of Rs. 1 Crore and above.

iii) District consumer court address and settle claims below 1 Crore.
