No need to inquire . What so ever the rate is displayed for package product is MRP and that is inclusive of all taxes. The only thing you have to check the MRP on the pack if GST is added after MRP, it falls under Unfair trade Practices as the price mentioned on website is considered as MRP for customer . They cannot hide any price from the customer. more

All States shall mandate and make all Traders display the Rates of GST & their product for sale . This will help the GOI & people at large . All Traders are to follow the Returns fixed at the concept of GST and their Accountants to realize the concept of Quantitative returns that reveal the product Manufactured and , quantity being sold to end users/customers . THIS NOW, THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO CREATED LAKHS OF CRORES BLACK MONEY . more

There is no clear cut penalty described for selling goods by--if sold for price/ charging more than MRP however as per Section 36 of LM Act it falls under fine of Rs 25000/- for first offence .

Displaying prices on net does not mean it is MRP. First please confirm that the displayed prices is MRP or exclusive of GST, then pay. more

Yes, there was a statement from Union Minister for such proposal but the same was protested by traders. I am of opinion that there should not be any punishment as the officials will misuse the power and threat to traders for imprisonment. There must be effective monitoring by department and impose fine with due diligence without taking bribe. Cash memo to be compulsory even at vendors level and this the best solution to control Unfair trade Practices.
Jag Grahak Jago and make your habit to get receipt at the time of purchase even in plain paper with the name of outlet, Date, Item, signature, address and mobile number. Once you start asking such receipts, no vendor will dare to charge more than MRP and sell you expired product. more
