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.

Voluntary Consumer Organisation can help raise public awareness by conducting seminars and workshops and training programmes. It is important that they not only inform about the laws but stress on the public to be vigilant. Voluntary organisation can create pressure groups or lobby against a misleading advertisement and its promoter company. File PIL's in the Court and bring such ads to the notice of the judiciary for legal action against the promoters of such misleading advertisements.

Scan copy of cheques instead of physical cheques for clearing for net banking account holders Net banking account holders are presently only making all payments and transfers themselves. For clearing physical cheques are presented in bank for scanning and processing it for clearing. Submission of scanned cheques should be allowed for clearing. This will reduce unnecessary paper work, visit to the bank and work load of bank too.

Online Stores are the leaders in duping the onsumers with mis-leading advertisements. They do NOT take any responsibility for any items billed by them / through them They quote prices which are not affordable to any supplier, sell out-dated goods, without any warranty support, no service support. They harass the customer openly. They are also snatching the livelihood of lakhs of traders (who are the backbone of the country, next only to farmers), and have brought the entire trade to a halt.

Most of company do follow misleading advertisment tactices to lure cusmter towards their product. Take any field Pharma, education ,FMCG, financial, reality etc (long list). There should be a strict guidline and a governing body ( we do not need babu's here ). We are paying a high price of misleading adv from our hard earn money. Here interest of consumer need to be protect from money making people. example (shradha chit fund SCAM). ADV are hiding the actual info of product.

There shall be strict action against the companies if their product do not meet the promise which they make in advertisement.., just compensating the consumer is not the permanent solution. There might many other consumers who were cheated through advertisement and not claimed the compensation or have suffered loss which can not be compensated.

ASCI and Press Council of India, आज केवल नियम बनाने की संस्था बनकर रह गई हैं. जबकि हमारे देश में छपने वाले प्रतेक अख़बार, प्रत्रिका, साप्ताहिकी इत्यादि के एक कॉपी इनको भी जाती है. उसमे छपने वाले भ्रामक विज्ञापन क्या इनको नहीं दीखता है. साथ ही होर्डिंग, वाल पेंटिंग इत्यादि के लिए इजाजत देने के साथ ही उसपर छपने वाले विज्ञापन की कापी ली जानी चाहिए जिससे इसपर पूर्ण अंकुश लगाया जा सकता है.
