Misleading advertisements, tricks gullible consumer in purchasing the products and services which are often health hazards or substandard in quality, for example – various pills/food supplements, fairness creams, etc. The Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India having its office at New Delhi, would not be able to check the menace of misleading advertisement without the active participation and help from the State Governments, local self-Governments and the Police department of the States. These authorities are expected to intensify their action against the misleading advertisements as also the misleading advertisers on their own or once altered by the voluntary consumer organizations.

Suggestions are invited on how the State Govt., local self-government and Police can take effective measures against Misleading Advertisements.

The last date for submission of your comments is 23rd January 2015.

It must be a subject of debate nation wide can we run the country without having paper currency? If we get ready to implement this new financial system it will open a new door of success in terms of finishing crime of every kind & will also help bring down inflation on wholesale index as well stopping speculation of all type from our country completely. Implementation of electronic currency will surely help Indian rupee to improve against Us Dollar sharply.

One & only solution of all the problem persist in our country is to remove paper currency in circulation as early as possible & all payment should be made through mobile upto RS-5000/- after RS-5001/- upto RS/-20000/- only by debit card then after upto any amount should be made by cheque only.Banking data integration & centralisation of banking data is essentially required to implement one person one saving account policy not only for individual but it must imply on companies aswell all govt.org

Dear Sir, I would like to tell that there is high unemployment rate in India, this is very known fact. Students who have done their education with the help of education loan and are unemployed are facing cases in courts by the banks. Is this the gift these students have got from the chosen government. I am not saying the government should wave off education loan but atleast there should be a rule that till getting a job banks should not disturb the students for repayment, Please do something

राजस्थान में स्टेट गवर्नमेंट कोल्ड स्टोर में सो रही हे और ऐसी हालत में स्थानीय सरकार की क्या बिसात ? और पुलिस को तो आप जानते ही हे . कुल मिलाकर स्थिति भयावह बनी हुई हे कोई सुनने वाला नहीं , कहने को देश में मोदी जी अच्छे दिन लाने को प्रयास रत हे लेकिन राजस्थान भारत से अलग राह पर चल रहा यहाँ ACB वाले भ्रष्टों को पकड़ते हे और नेता मामले को रफा दफा कर देते हे और भ्रष्ट फिर बहाल हो दुगुनी स्पीड से चालू हो जाता हे इसे क्या ये समझा जाये कि मोदी जी राजस्थान पर ध्यान नहीं दे रहे , या यहाँ सब चलता हे ?

A very simple approach is possible, which would require little oversight. The government should establish an agency that would receive requests for publishing advertisements. The applicant should file an affidavit stating that whatever is mentioned in the ad they wish to publish is true to the best of their knowledge, and attach proof for the same (if necessary). Falsifying information in an affidavit is a serious criminal offence. Once the affidavit is received, the agency would permit the ad.

I am a resident of bihar state. There is a TAAL AREA famous for pulse crops is one crop land. If it may become two crops land, all farmers and their associate people of this area will earn more and become self dependent and migration will also be stopped from this area. This will create a lot of opportunity for employment for youths of this area. Many leaders had assured the people of this area about to do this plan many times but till date no action has been initiated. I would like to draw kind
