When India’s apex consumer watchdog decided to take suo motu cognisance of the UPSC coaching industry’s malpractices, it eventually had to fine four institutes and issue a notice to 14 others over a series of allegedly misleading advertisements.
Among the institutes that have been imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh by the Central Consumer Protection Authority last week are Chahal Academy, IQRA IAS, Unacademy and Rau’s IAS Study Circle. Rau’s IAS has moved the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission to challenge the penalty.
