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.

Govt PSU are generally in red.Reason they do'nt try to be competitive.The Management is not free to take decision. For every thing they look at their respective ministry and department.Had they been trained to take independent decision, carry out changes with time they can always compete in the market.Govt PSU is just like Pet which looks very beautiful inside house but they can not face any External danger .Spoon feeding is dangerous and the same is applicable to PSU. Now it is too late

If you're in dispute with a company, or have a serious complaint about a company, the small claims court could help you get your money back. Although the small claims court is a simple way to settle a dispute, it should only be used as a last resort. You must try to resolve the problem before it goes to court.

We have reduced the Petrol/Diesel prices several times. Now we should not reduce the rates but SAVE THE REDUCED PRICES, MAKE SAVINGS FOR NATIONAL WELFARE,CALAMITY,HELP TO THE NEEDY, because reduced prices will increase more spending and wastage. By saving we will help building a STRONG & ABLE INDIA.

Sir, these days traffic violations are increasing day by day, is it possible to start a website where any person with a smart phone can capture a photograph and send the snap. After verifying the snap the traffic violator can be penalized. This create a sense of fear and people will be forced to follow the traffic rules.

misleading advertisements are violation of consumer law, penal law and other laws. but in our country, you have to undergo the time taking and costly litigation to teach a lession to misleading advertiser. therefore, to save consumers from becoming a prey to such advertisements, government should formulate and enforce guidelines or code of conduct for all advertisers/sellers of goods and services. In this regard BIS can also contibute by checking whether advertisements are true or not

Most of the advertisements come with the rider 'conditions apply' in very small font size, indicated by '*' inconspicuously in the Advt. It should be made compulsory that the font size of tne rider should not be less than the font used for advertising the product. It should also be mandated that the advt.should contain conspicuously, a waning "The consumer should satisfy himself about the truth of what is stated in Advt., before making purchase decision'
