Misleading advertisements covers all sectors of business across the country. The vulnerable sections of the society living in the backward and rural areas are the worst sufferers. To tackle the menace of misleading advertisements in such areas, the roles of VCOs are perceived to be of great importance. The VCOs working in various parts of the country with their experience in handling consumer related issues may help identifying misleading advertisements and suggest appropriate action to the consumers, State Governments and local self-Governments.

Suggestions are invited on the role of the voluntary consumer organisations in tackling the menace of Misleading Advertisements.

The last date for submission of your comments is 23rd January 2015.

Reelections reverse the campaign for saving public money. Why can’t we take into consideration the % of vote bagged by each political party when number game fails to deliver stable government at the center or state? This would save public money and ensure desirable governance. Delhi voted for its Assembly through a fractured mandate, within a year the state shoulders another election in Jan 2015. Any guarantee that this time the state would get its desirable government? J&K now on the same road.

The Government has published an advertisement to link Bank accounts with LPG connections. It contains a false statement that Aadhar is not necessary. BUT in the form given, we find that in non-aadhar cases, it contains an undertaking that we will obtain aadhar and link the same ( in small print), The government should be truthful first. STOP misleading advertisements by government

Voluntary organisations should first see that advertisements by government are regulated. In case of aadhar, the drawbacks are not published by media in view of the advertisements by UIDAI which generates crores for the media. STOP aadhar which enables private foreign linked operators to grab our data.

Create SMS/App/web based tracker of advertisements to get a feedback from anyone who want report bad/good. This should have big data processing to provide the advertisement that has received bad/good feedbacks on a periodical manner automatically.

severe punishment and penalty should be imposed for those who are giving misleading adds.voluntary consumer organisations should find the source ,who actually give such a misleading advertisements, either by the website or the printing or electronic media who publish them or through the people who got cheated and secondly the authenticity of the advertisement is to be checked before its publishing.

Dear Sir, I would like to tell that there is high unemployment rate in India, this is very known fact. Students who have done their education with the help of education loan and are unemployed are facing cases in courts by the banks. Is this the gift these students have got from the chosen government. I am not saying the government should wave off education loan but atleast there should be a rule that till getting a job banks should not disturb the students for repayment, Please do something

I dont find retired officers should be given some post already they have made enough money when they are in office. also never a honest officer will require any post if he is willing to work private companies will absorb such people with very good ease
