Transparent Process

Consumer fraud, misleading advertisements, wrongful insurance rejections, and builder defaults are far more common than they should be. Yet most affected consumers either do not know their rights or do not know where to begin. PRAN (Policy Research Action Network) Foundation's Expert Desk bridges this gap — providing structured, professional guidance to help individuals and organisations navigate Consumer Commissions, RERA, and the dispute resolution process.

A Rigorous Three-Step Process

We do not offer vague advice. Every engagement follows a structured, transparent methodology — beginning with an honest assessment of your claim's merit, at no cost to you.

Free · No Obligation

Case Eligibility Review

Before you spend a rupee, we assess whether your dispute has legal merit. Submit your details and supporting documents through our Intake Form. Our domain experts conduct a preliminary review and revert with a clear, honest assessment — saving you time and resources upfront.

  • Submit via our online Intake Form
  • Upload invoices, policies, or tickets
  • We tell you the strength of your case — candidly
By Appointment

Expert Strategy Session

If the review confirms merit, we schedule a focused professional consultation by video or phone. Together, we analyse your case under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 or RERA, map the procedural timeline, and calculate the full compensation you are entitled to claim — not just the refund.

  • 30-minute structured consultation
  • Full damage assessment (principal, interest, mental distress, costs)
  • Clear roadmap for next steps
Formal Resolution

Legal Notice & Formal Filing

A formally drafted Legal Notice on an Advocate's letterhead signals to the company that your matter has moved from "Customer Service" to "Expert Resolution." Six in ten valid disputes conclude at this stage — no courtroom required. For cases that proceed, we draft and file the full complaint before the appropriate forum.

  • Drafted on Advocate's letterhead
  • Dispatched and tracked
  • 60–70% resolution rate at notice stage

Who We Assist

Our Expert Desk supports both individuals navigating personal disputes and organisations seeking compliance advisory, training, or research partnerships.

We Claim What You Are Legally Entitled To

A refund is only the beginning. Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, a successful claimant may be entitled to a comprehensive set of remedies — far beyond the initial amount paid.

01
Principal Refund
Recovery of the actual sum paid — the starting point of any valid consumer claim.
02
Interest on Delay
Applicable interest for the period of wrongful withholding or deficient service — typically 9% to 18% per annum.
03
Mental Harassment
Compensation for the stress, anxiety, and inconvenience caused by the respondent's conduct — an independent head of damages.
04
Litigation Costs
Demanding that the respondent company bear your professional and procedural costs — routinely awarded by Consumer Commissions.

What Sets Our Expert Desk Apart

Access to expert legal assistance has long been a privilege. PRAN's Expert Desk is designed to change that — without compromising on the quality of support you receive.

Candid Initial Assessment

We review your case before asking for any commitment. If the claim is weak, we say so — clearly and at no cost to you. Honesty, not optimism, is our starting point.

Plain Language, Always

Legal jargon is a barrier to justice. We explain your rights, your options, and the process in clear English or Hindi — so every decision is yours to make, fully informed.

Structured, Not Ad Hoc

Every matter is handled through a defined process — intake, assessment, strategy, formal action. This is not informal advice; it is professional expert assistance.

Mission-Driven Organisation

PRAN Foundation is a registered Section 8 non-profit. Consumer protection assistance is part of our public interest mandate — not a commercial venture.

Led by Two Decades of Experience

The Expert Desk is guided by Advocate Amarjeet Singh Panghal, who practises at the Supreme Court of India and Patiala House Court Complex, with over 20 years in consumer law, constitutional matters, and public policy.

Full Spectrum Support

From the first document review to formal notice, complaint filing, and execution of orders — we accompany you through the entire dispute resolution journey.
