e-Jagriti is a unified digital platform for consumer dispute redressal in India, designed to make consumer justice faster, transparent, and paperless.
Launched on 1 January 2025 by the Department of Consumer Affairs.
Integrates earlier systems: e-Daakhil, OCMS, NCDRC Case Monitoring System, and CONFONET.
Connects District, State, and National Consumer Commissions on a single network.
Empowers consumers to seek legal remedies online from anywhere.

How It Works: The Journey
Rapid Adoption
Since its launch in January 2025, the platform has seen overwhelming adoption.
Ten States/UTs and the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recorded disposal rates exceeding 100% during July 2025, indicating that more cases were disposed of than newly filed during the period.
Impact & Reach
As of June 2026:
Hearing Modes
• NCDRC Hearings: Hybrid hearing facility available for participation through video conferencing or physical appearance.
• State Commissions (SCDRCs): Hybrid hearing facilities are available in many State Commissions, subject to local procedures and directions.
• Choice of Appearance: Parties and advocates may appear online or physically wherever hybrid facilities are permitted.
• District Commissions (DCDRCs): Hearing mode depends on the infrastructure and administrative arrangements of the concerned District Commission.
• Key Takeaway: Always confirm the hearing mode before the scheduled date, as practices may vary across Commissions.
Challenges & Way Forward
While successful, the transition to a fully digital justice system faces hurdles that require ongoing attention.
Technical Issues: Addressing occasional portal glitches.
Digital Literacy: Improving accessibility for non-tech-savvy users.
Infrastructure: Ensuring robust internet in remote districts.
Physical Mandates: Phasing out redundant physical document requirements in some commissions.
e-Jagriti modernizes India's consumer dispute redressal system, directly supporting the vision of a Digital India.
It promotes transparency, efficiency, and accessibility, empowering citizens to fight for their rights seamlessly.
