It is of no surprise that the world, especially India is going through a huge pandemic crisis right now. Due to the crisis, most parts of India are either under partial lockdown or full lockdown to slow down the transmission rate of the Covid-19 virus spreading among the masses. Now, the most common issue faced by the public is that most offices and business are being forced to stay shut to adhere to the lockdown protocol. So, as you may already know, most authorised service centre’s of tech firms are also forced to stay shut, in other words, many customers who are facing issues with their gadgets at this time period can’t bring their gadgets to the service centre to get their gadgets fixed or to claim their warranty and there are also a huge number of people whose gadget’s warranty end within this lockdown period. So, the issue is if the gadget’s warranty ends within the lockdown period and the customers cannot claim their device’s warranty due to it. What will happen to them?
Solution
