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.

Greetings!. I would like to mention about wrong policy of admission at MDI. Last date of form submission ends at nov 2014 while CAT results were declared on 27 dec 2014. It means students without knowing how much his percentile is , how his CAT score is, has to apply to MDI and submit its fees. A young person without job who aspires for MBA has to deposit such money ( admission form purchase) to atleast 5 colleges costing him over 10,000/-

I will request first setup pricing control board, Misleading Advertisements will automatically get controlled. They hire celebrity for most misleading Advertisements, and pay them and charge to consumers. For example if you buy water bottle it will cost you 10RS to 150 RS / litter. Same thing , same cleaning process everything same, why two product have different price? Answer come Advertisement cost also come from product sell only.

They can easily open their companies account with banks. So many companies are misleading the customers on falls promises and easily making fraud activities.Normal lay man don't have so much knowledge so they innocently involved in that fake deals and suffering huge losses.we should improve our company registration process for misleading customer
