  3. External Escalation via Consumer Protection Routes

    If the company fails to resolve the issue, approach India's consumer grievance mechanisms: National Consumer Helpline or the Consumer Commission under CPA 2019.

    National Consumer Helpline Website
    https://consumerhelpline.gov.in Online complaint registration
    • File a complaint online or via the helpline with all supporting documents.
    • If the matter involves financing, you may also approach the RBI Ombudsman.
    • For vehicle safety defects, you can report to the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways.

Tips for a stronger escalation

  • Always keep a written record of your complaint, including dates, names, and reference numbers.
  • Be clear and concise about the issue and the resolution you expect.
  • Give each level a reasonable time to respond before escalating.
  • Use email or written communication for formal complaints to have a paper trail.
  • If you have purchased through financing, check if the issue is with the financier and escalate separately.
  • For safety-related defects, report to the relevant government authority.

Stop chasing emails

Log the complaint once in the Simply C2 app and keep every escalation step, date and reply in one place.
