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.

The practice of Re-employment of Influential Retired Administrative Employees on Contract basis in Govt. and Govt.PSU in same Office be stopped forthwith. If vacancy arises to cover up their jobs new appointments should be made. Such re -employed staff are well know in the office circle and do not discharge their duties as per requirement but instead keep cases to suit their retirement period engagement. Such actions may also be considered as corrupt practice. Kindly stop such practice.

Dear Modi ji, First of all I would like to inform you that I’m one of your biggest admirers, as like many others I also believe that you are a doer & in coming time, India can really become a superpower under your learned leadership. Dear Sir, if possible, plz. change the financial year system to be based on calendar year (January to December) instead of April to March as most of the world using the former. It will in parity with the financial statements worldwide. Thanks & regards

Dear Modi ji, As per income tax act, we use to describe fiscal year as Financial year as well as assessment year (e.g. if FY is 2014-15 then AY is 2015-16), it creates un-necessary lot of confusion among the financial professional as well as foreigner expats working in India. As you give more emphasis on simplification of laws, working etc. I would like to propose the following : Plz. amend the Income Tax Act & remove the Assessment Year (AY) word & use only Financial Year (FY) word instead.

दिनों दिन जिले का एक नया सच सामने आता है | जितनी भी योजनाएँ हैं उसमे केवल लीपा पोती का सिलसिला बदस्तूर जारी है | इदिरा आवास , वृद्धा पेंशन , राशन घोटाला सामने आता है पर कभी कोई मुजरिम पकड़ा गया हो सजा हुई हो यह देखने में सुनने में नही आता | सबकी उपर तक पहुंच तक है यही है जिले का सच |

contd. but have no money to pay govt tax collected, pay to employee salary, default banks loan, but have the money to pay CEO of defunct Kingfisher and move freely in this independent country and can make law for others but no action for self. Nmber of UMPPs competed for min price for electricity and won, but now can not produce the power because cost of production will be more than selling price. so no production and default of bank loan and govt trying for some back door help for them.

yesterday our PM Mr Modiji while addressing Rally at Delhi announced that 10 electricty companies will provide electricity connection can be obtained from any one who provides best and cheaper electrcity. Very good. word of caution!!! please ensure all these competitive companies should not be given bank loan until and unless they provide collateral security worth min twice the amount, because after they make loss in the competition, we poor people have to bear their inefficiency and loss.
