Advertisement plays a critical role in modern commerce as it informs, persuades, and influences consumer behavior. The legal framework governing advertisement aims to protect consumers from misleading, deceptive, or unfair promotional practices, while simultaneously ensuring that businesses can market their products and services effectively. Various laws and regulatory mechanisms have been developed to regulate the content, medium, and claims made in advertisements, with the ultimate goal of safeguarding consumer interests. In India, the primary legislation that governs advertisements is the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which replaced the earlier 1986 Act. The Act explicitly addresses unfair trade practices, including misleading advertisements that can deceive consumers. Section 2(47) defines unfair trade practices and includes false or misleading representations about the quality, quantity, standard, or price of goods or services. Any advertisement that misleads a consumer into buying a product based on false claims can attract legal action under this provision. The law empowers consumers to approach the Consumer Dispute Redressal Commissions (CDRCs) at the district, state, and national levels to seek compensation for damages arising from misleading advertisements. The role of the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) is significant in self-regulation of advertising practices. ASCI is a voluntary organization that sets guidelines to ensure advertisements are truthful, socially responsible, and not offensive. While ASCI does not have statutory powers, it collaborates with broadcasters, advertisers, and agencies to monitor compliance. Complaints from consumers are investigated, and non-compliant advertisements are required to be modified or withdrawn. ASCI acts as a bridge between consumers, the industry, and legal authorities, promoting ethical advertising practices and reducing litigation. The Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954, is another important legislation that governs advertisements, particularly those related to medicines and health products. It prohibits advertisements that make false claims about curing diseases or promoting unproven remedies. This Act empowers authorities to penalize advertisers and publishers who promote misleading claims that may endanger public health. In a broader sense, advertisements for food, beverages, and healthcare products are also subject to regulations under the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to ensure safety, quality, and truthful representation.
