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.

we need some kind of regulatory body for advertisements in every media.we may create statutory bodies like film sensor board for advertisement. simultaneously we need some improvements in INDIAN PENAL CODE also. current consumer forums/couts may be given this responsibility after due consultations with all stake holders.

First of all , there must be a special censor board , formed by the Govt. who have to do testing of the product with all precautions , before going to air. All the celebrities , who endorse the product , must also be fined , if the product is not , as per mentioned. The Govt should also stop also the advt , related to astrology , who are spreading the superstitions as well as wasting the hard earned money of public.

for misleading ads, a team of locals to be formed for a specific area in which persons from every sector should participate. and its key should be directly in the hand of an independent committee at national level. and committee should have right for strict decisions

Please support my views to remove caste based reservation from every sector of India. We have to grow collectively. I believe that reservation is ruining our talent pool of country and creating frustration among young people in somecase. We can provide reservation to needful people on basis of financial condition not on caste. Please do not derive any valueless points from this. Take it positively and support to remove CASTE based reservation.
