Consumer organisations and NGOs perform several functions for the protection and promotion of the interests of consumers. Identify which of the following is not a function performed by them:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Consumer organisations and NGOs publish periodicals, file complaints on behalf of consumers, and file public-interest cases. They encourage protest against unscrupulous (dishonest) sellers, not against scrupulous (honest) sellers. Option 2 describes action against fair, scrupulous sellers, which is not a function performed by them.

Note: The option replaces 'unscrupulous' with 'scrupulous', which reverses the meaning; we have treated this wording as the basis for it being the incorrect function.
