General advice as per the existing law.
👁️🗨️ In the Legal Metrology Act of 2009, our government created the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011. These rules, among other things, specify that a packaged good's Maximum Retail Price (MRP) must be printed, including all applicable taxes.
👁️🗨️ Selling any product above the MRP price is punishable under *Section 36 of the Legal Metrology Act, 2009*, and it is punishable with fine which may extend to ₹25000/, for the second offence, with fine which may extend to ₹50000/ and for the subsequent offence, with fine which shall not be less than ₹50000/ but which may extend to ₹100000/ or with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year or with both.
👁️🗨️ The department of Legal Metrology should be contacted with complaints regarding the sale of products that are over MRP. In this regard, you can file a complaint to the consumer forum in accordance with *The Consumer Protection Act of 1986.*
