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 as a consumer can reduce the various misleading advertisements just by using our common sense and ignoring those products or services there by compelling those companies to change their marketing or advertising policies

There should be ban on "conditions apply" clause. whatever the company claim in advertizement if fails to provide the service there should be 10 times of penalty need to pay to the consumer suffered.

Hi all! I believe we have a potential highly educated workforce in housewives. Due to lack of quality day care at work place and inflexibility in timing in corporate sector especially in cities like Kolkata . If a platform is created to absorb the TV watching homemakers who are getting depressed as they have similar aspirations as their husbands, they can be change makers.

there should be heavy penalty on the advertiser if product or service if same failed to meet the claims. there should be advertising regulator who takes public complains, investigate it and make class suite for general compensation.

Govt. Of India have an online portal named pgportal.gov.in for redress the public grievances. I found this portal useless because i lodge a grievance around 7 months ago but till the date no action taken. Kindly make the available system effective instead of start the new system. When a central online monitoring system failed to perform how we expect for the new system will be workable.
