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.

As per the RBI Guidelines Every Bank has to follow the policy of KYC i.e. Know Your Customer on the same principle there should be guidelines for Media regarding Know Your Advertiser (KYA).This would be helpful for the State Govt., local self-government and Police to take effective measures against Misleading Advertisements.

Advertisements through streets and cities as well as posters must be ban by government which lead to a great amount of pollution. The nessessary messages can be send through sms.

Sir consumer grievances against various misleading advertisements need to be settled in a speedy manner.State governments,local government can through media create awareness among the customers regarding misleading ads who make claims that rarely appeals to human reason.Police can also be made a part of conducting awareness in their circle and complaints registered with them can be sent to consumer forums.
