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.

I would like to raise a query regarding the RAC ticket policy of our Railways. When a ticket is in RAC the person gets only half the seat (the seat is shared by 2 people) but we have to pay the full amount for the same seat. Indirectly we are being charged twice for a single seat. I believe that in case of RAC tickets we should be refunded half of our ticket amount. Please let me know your thoughts/insights on the same.

It is need of hour to bring control over the misleading advertisement. there are many of advertisement are being on -air and telecast on different satellite TV Channels. it is to bring under your notice that some of the advertisement are full of vulgarity and are contented of some scenes which can not be seen with family. I humbly suggest that any advertisement is required to presented before a board comprised of public and govt. authority. it will bring positive change. Regards & Jai Hind

IN MY OPINION TO MAKE OUR CITIES MORE COMFORTABLE ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN AND ALSO TO EVERYONE IT IS REQUIRED TO HAVE TOILETS IN OUR CITIES. IN MOST OF THE CASES WE ROAM TO FIND A TOILET TO MEET OUR NATURE CALL. WHICH POSED A PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND HEALTH RELATED PROBLEMS. AS BEING A MALE WE DO IT BY THE SIDE OF ROAD AND FORCED TO DO NUISANCE BUT FOR WOMEN ITS A GREAT DIFICULTY AND POSING A MAJOR HEALTH RELATED PROBLEM FOR THEM. I PROPOSE TO HAVE TOILETS ALONG WITH ATMs AND CAN BE SPONSORED BY BANK.

IBPS, who has a mandate for PSU banks recruitment, is not doing fair allotment, not replying RTI, court case, being a private body even when it is for PSU banks. We have qualified written & interview for FY 14-15 & IBPS is not allotting seats, sitting idle on request by PSU banks for 2nd allotment against unfilled vacancy for 1st allotment, increasing unemployment. Kindly look into matter, advice IBPS to make allotment process more transparent and allow us in mission developed & dream India

Organization can act as voluntary rating agencies to show actual vs advertised behavior. Example: Build an neutral organization responsible for crash test results of cars. The leadership for such organization should be voluntary, rotational and should be decided by strict code of conduct defined by government.
