Claim: Government bans telecasting condom ads on Television from 6 AM to 10 PM
Fact-check: Indian government banned condom ads on TV from 6 AM to 10 PM in 2017, not recently - FACTLY
Verdict: in december 2017, citing rule 7  and 7 of cable television rules, 1994, the government advised all the television channels to telecast the condom advertisements only between 10 pm and 6 am. the advisory further states that the decision is taken since these ads are for a particular age group, and viewing by children could be indecent/inappropriate. however, social media users are sharing this news of partial ban as a recent phenomenon. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
