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.

Allow citizens to log misleading adverts using photos / voice messages / SMS / websites to govt website. Allow the consumer organisations access to these complaints so they can review, identify misleading adverts and take formal action. Govt can track all these cases and dispose them off and inform the citizen complainant.

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.

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.

one of the methods to handle such situations can be as follows : 1. make a "site visitors" group 2. give positive response to the advertisement by buying product or service by these people 3. do the recording of the use of product or service 4. if not satisfactory as per advertisement then strict actions should be taken against them, it may be banning of their licence or detention. Advantages of this method are : 1.concrete evidence against misleading Ads 2.special team acting 24*7.

Newspaper houses should check the identity of people giving matrimonial advertisements by asking for aadhar card of person giving advertisement.

Making new laws will not help our country to grow, making INDIAN'S aware of the losses they are making to themselve will be more fruitful.....the only thing is "how you do thi?"

MANAGING THE FINANCES BY HON'BLE MINISTERS - ALL MINISTERS (BARRING A FEW), MPs, MLAs, ETC. MAY BE PAID BEST SALARIES DEPENDING UPON THEIR RANKS AND ALL PERKS MAY BE STOPPED. THEY MAY BE PAID ONE OF THE BEST SALARIES WHICH WOULD INSTILL THE HABIT OF MANAGING THEIR FINANCES AND ALL TYPES OF UNNECESSARY EXPENSES WOULD BE CURTAILED. THIS WAY A LOT OF PUBLIC MONEY WOULD BE SAVED.
