In the absence of a written response along with documents for substantiation on or before the prescribed due date, the ASCI Secretariat considered this complaint exparte. Claim (in Bengali) as translated in English, "Have the mileage that cross century in just one charge”, was not substantiated with technical data or with technical test reports/ third party reports to prove that the advertiser’s electric scooty can indeed achieve such mileage on a single charge. The source and date for the claim is not indicated in the advertisement. The claim is misleading by exaggeration and is likely to lead to widespread disappointment in the minds of consumers. This advertisement is in contravention of Chapter I, Clauses 1.1, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.5 of the ASCI Code. Complaint was Upheld
