National Consumer Helpline (NCH) is the grievance redressal mechanism of the Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India. NCH has emerged as a single point of access for consumers across the country at the pre-litigation stage. Grievances can be registered in 17 languages via an omni-channel, IT-enabled central portal—through toll-free numbers 1915
or 1800-11-4000
, and also via WhatsApp, SMS, NCH App, web portal, and Umang App.
As part of this project, companies partner with NCH under the Convergence initiative on a voluntary, free-of-charge basis to resolve customer grievances quickly and amicably. Over 1027 companies and organizations have already joined. Grievances are forwarded in real-time, and responses are expected within 30 days.
