Before formally filing a Consumer Complaint, it is desired that the Consumer gives notice to the opposite party of the fact of any deficiency in service or of unfair trade practice etc to see if the trader is willing to make good the loss suffered by either replacing the commodity or returning the value of the purchase.

Consumer complaint cannot be filed online it has to be filed in the court.

You are best adviced to appoint an advocate first. Before filing the case, any competent advocate requires  an exhaustive cosultancy session with you

I didn't advise you to file online as per my knowledge i am not aware that any DCDRF accepts a complaint by the online method, however, if there is any such provision of online submission in your area you can submit the same.

but as per my knowledge, you have to prepare the complaint with the help of a lawyer, deposit fees and then submit (hard copy-three sets) it to the District Consumer Forum of your area,

but in any case, you have to engage the lawyer first and then file the complaint.

You can hire a lawyer or not. Consumer court doesn't mandatorily require lawyers but if you want to engage there is no bar.

On the basis of the legal notice stating that the damage has happened due to substandard construction, you may file a case before consumer court for deficiency of service.

2. It may run from two to three years.

3. you can engage the services of an advocate who will take care of the cases on the dates of hearing.

4. The court fee and the advocate fee may be enquired from the advocate whose services are being engaged.

5. It depends on what relief that you have approached court.

6. you may discuss with an advocate before filing the complaint

You may proceed in the manner and way  which you feel would be right enough and proper

1. The best way is to get your complaint drafted by a lawyer since it is a specialised subject and then file it before the Consumer forum.

2. You can iuse a medium grade lawyer to be economical in the pursuing the case.
