SAMET Is For Small Claim Settlements
The Free Press Journal|December 30, 2024
In October, I sent homemade Diwali sweets to my daughter in the USA through an international courier, expecting delivery on the first day of Diwali by October 31.

Despite paying Rs65,000 and following all the necessary rules, the parcel was not delivered. When I approached the courier company, they blamed US authorities. I then lodged a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline (NCH), but the courier company refused to settle my claim. I was advised to file a formal complaint under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Now, I am seeking a refund of courier charges and Rs1 lakh compensation. However, considering the time and money required for legal proceedings, I am exploring whether the Mumbai Grahak Panchayat's SAMET platform could help. I also wish to know whether settlements reached through SAMET are legally binding and the fees involved in the process.
