7. The State Commission has rightly observed that the subsidy amount is sent directly to the bank account by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, hence local dealer and local bank have very limited role and no deficiency in service can be attributed to the opposite parties. Moreover, the person claiming subsidy is not a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act 1986 as held by this Commission in Chaudhary Ashok Yadav Vs. The Rewari Central Co-operative Bank and Anr, Revision Petition No.4894 of 2012, decided on 08.02.2013 wherein it has been held that a person seeking benefit of subsidy under a scheme is not a 'consumer', as the subsidy is not a service within the meaning of Consumer Protection Act, 1986, and his remedy does not lie under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, by filing a complaint and that he can seek relief from a Civil Court, or some other forum, as per law. Thus, the petitioner is not a 'Consumer' within the meaning of Consumer Protection Act, 1986. Hence, the complaint was not maintainable.
