The Act also provides for a nominal financial penalty for violations. However, more than the fine, being penalized for the improper use of Prime Minister's name could damage the two company's image.
Regarding the matter, Consumer Affairs Secretary, Hem Pande told PTI, "We have sent notices to both (the companies) for using PM's picture in their advertisement. We are yet to receive their response." As for the action to be taken against these companies, he added that "We will see once we get the replies."
