If the shop charged you an extra handling fee without informing you beforehand, it may be considered unfair under the Consumer Protection Act. If it was clearly mentioned before the purchase, it might be valid. So, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Forum. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
