The government has prohibited television channels from airing advertisements for condoms any time in the day till 10 pm, since some of the commercials were "indecent and can impact children", evoking strong reactions from companies and advertisers.
The information and broadcasting (I&B) ministry in an advisory issued to all television channels on Monday said advertising for condoms will only be allowed between 10 pm and 6 am. "Some channels carry ads of condoms repeatedly which are alleged to be indecent specially for children," it said.
ET has seen a copy of the advisory.
Citing the Cable Television Network Rules, the ministry said advertisements that endanger the safety of children or create in them any interest in unhealthy practices shall not be carried. The move, it said, was "to avoid exposure of such material to children and to ensure strict adherence to the provisions".
"Any failure will attract action," it said. Full story...
