Dear Sir,
Most of the People take a break on the Mumbai-Pune Express Way at the Variety of Food Malls placed at both the sides.
It has been observed & experienced that at most of the malls the consumers are being charged approx 25% Extra over MRP for various products.
I have asked for the Lays - Potato Chips packet which was Printed as Rs. 20/-
The reseller asked me to Pay Rs. 25/- & gave the reason that this location is too far & said if this price is expensive for your pocket then don't buy.
Then what is the meaning of the Printed MRP? Maximum Retail Price?
Please go through the following Definition of MRP.
The Resellers of the Products get adequate percent of margin for selling the same on MRP.
***Under the Weights and Measures (Packaged Commodities) Rules, all packed goods should carry certain essential information on the contents of the package, such as its weight or volume, the name and address of the manufacturer, the date of manufacture, and in case of food packages, the best before date and, of course, the maximum retail price (MRP).
Under the Consumer Goods (Mandatory Printing of Cost of Production and Maximum Retail Price) Act, certain guidelines has been provided so that the consumer can not charged over to the maximum price printed on the goods by the manufacturer. These guidelines are as follows:
1. consumer goods mean all goods and items brought in the market for sale and are meant for the use and consumption of the consumers;
2. cost of production means cost incurred directly or indirectly by the manufacturer in the production of goods;
3.printing means printing of the cost of production and retail price at a visible place on the product in Hindi and English and the local language of the place it is sold; and
4. maximum retail price means such price at which the product shall be sold in retail and such price shall include all taxes levied on the product.
The legislation has made it mandatory for the manufacturers to printing of cost of production and maximum retail price on packaging of consumer goods, so that the consumer could not get overcharged by the agents/dealer.

SO THIS SHOULD BE STOPPED...
WHY TO PAY MORE UNNECESSARILY...
