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.

Government should conduct drives to create awareness about how citizens can complain about misleading advertisements, where they can complain and how government offices will support them. Government should also let the complainant know from time to time on what action is taken, which will motivate him to be vigilant. Action should be taken in a time bound period & heavy penalties levied. Government official not acting should be punished. Government should also advertise action taken report.

Allow citizens to submit the photos, voice recordings of such advertisements to the MyGov or similar portal... and a large crowdsourced way to identify which once are quickly flagged as misleading by citizens. THese are then informed to the state/local gov to take action legally with the photographic/voice proof in place

Mr. Abhinav Bisht's note. You are right. Gov should bring in a legislation. It should ask e-retailers to have a deposit with government to compensate the customer when courts grant a decree against them. Then " cause of action should be deemed to have arisen at the place of residence of consumer in the matter of e-commerce transactions ".

See the misleading advertisement by UIDAI. "Aadhar is your birth right ". THIS IS TOTALLY FALSE. HOW does supplying foreign linked companies with my biometric data become my birthright ?
