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.

Finance: Conveyance allowance paid to officers based on petrol bills reimbursement should be taxed. Many private as well as public enterprises use this Conveyance allowance to avoid tax of their employees. This non-taxable payment system should be reviewed and brought under tax net so that the exchequer is benefited.

Namastai Sir, Ref Grievance DPG/C/2012/80001(4B) (AAI). Legitimate and Legal Pension is denied to me in spite of clear detailed REPEATED Orders from the Honb'le HC of Andhra Pradesh SC of India DGCA and DOP and PW GOI by Pension Cell(CAD) AAI Chennai Airport and RPAO MOCA Chennai Airport. This is against the declared and well published policy of GOOD GOVERNANCE by the Honb'le PM. Such denial by handful of Govt. Officers brings Bad name to the Govt. in Power and public disgust. PRAY JUSTICE.

This ratio is very poor The worst condition is for general candidate .
