State consumer protection councils establish advisory bodies defining composition, meetings, and procedural rules for state-level consumer policy. A State Government must notify the establishment of a State Consumer Protection Council as an advisory body. The Council is chaired by the Minister-in-charge of Consumer Affairs and includes prescribed official or non-official members plus up to ten members nominated by the Central Government. It must meet as necessary but not fewer than two times annually, at times and places the Chairperson sets, observing prescribed procedural rules.
