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.

An advertisement is not misleading...the product or service deliverd is short of what is promised in the advertisement....so it is a case of cheating. Since it affects a large number of consumers, it should be resolved under class action not undere individual consumer complaints....voluntary consumer organizations should facilitate these class action cases in relevant courts....

PLEASE STOP ALL THE SO CALLED YOGIS,SADHUS,SANTS ( SAINTS),SADHVIS,BABAS,BAPUS FROM spoiling the current atmosphere.Concentrate on good governance & service to the needy. HINDUISM IN reality is not so cheap as made by these so called people.To follow hindu culture one need not change his faith or even one changes his/her faith hinduism does not perish.It is actually a thoughtprocess or philosophy or way of life and accepts one and all.Real hinduism should be explained to the world.

Pick-up any news-paper or, magazine; or, look at a few Sponsored TV Programs. We don't need voluntary consumer orgns. Govt. authorities can very well take action. Liquor Cos. advertise as mineral water or, based on any subject remotely connected to hard liquors. Can't Govt. put full-stop? Why not strictly enforce rule-of-law on dupers in garb of med.practitioners? Many Advts. dupe on:- medicines, beauty-enhancing creams etc& hair growth, education& jobs in foreign lands, astrology, Real estates.
