Bajaj Consumer Care to Appeal ₹26.25 Lakh Consumer Order
Bajaj Consumer Care Ltd. has been ordered by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in Kalahandi, Odisha, to pay ₹26.25 lakh. The company stated the order will not have any financial or operational impact and plans to appeal the decision.
Order Details and Company Response
The commission's order, dated April 15, 2026, was communicated to the company on April 17, 2026. The total sum of ₹26.25 lakh includes compensation for the complainant and a contribution to the Odisha State Consumer Welfare Fund.
Bajaj Consumer Care has asserted that this order will not result in any financial or operational impact on the company. The company's intention to appeal indicates a disagreement with the commission's findings.
Background and Related Issues
This consumer commission order follows other regulatory and product-related disclosures. In July 2025, the company received a ₹27.23 lakh GST demand notice for an alleged credit mismatch, which it also contested, stating no financial impact.
Earlier in 2026, Bajaj Almond Drops Hair Oil faced scrutiny in the UK. Specific batches were seized due to the presence of Lilial (BMHCA), an ingredient banned in the EU.
The company also recently disclosed its related-party transactions for the latter half of the fiscal year 2025-26. While the ₹26.25 lakh order is not material to Bajaj Consumer Care's overall financials, it adds to the company's recent regulatory and compliance considerations.
