    Dear Sir, There are so many restrictions and you may lodge complaint with concerned department if he is selling for more than MRP or if it does not disclose MRP. Please give me rank after viewing my details. Please call me for further assistance.

    No, a retailer cannot any product above the printed MRP. It is the rule that a shopkeeper cannot sell above the MRP fixed by the manufacturer. Though a person can sell the product at a lesser price than that of the MRP or also known as the discounted price but cannot sell above it under normal circumstances. One can lodge the complaint by calling the toll-free number or by sending an SMS or by way of email to the Legal Metrology Department. Each state has their different number provided for the redressal purpose. One can go the website and get the phone number or the mailing address.

    Hi, No, a merchant cannot sell any goods at a higher price than the listed MRP. It is against the law for a shopkeeper to sell above the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Though a person can sell a product for less than the MRP (also known as the reduced price), he or she cannot sell it for more than that under typical circumstances. Any retailer who is selling the product above the MRP would be liable to pay fine or imprisonment or both. No seller can put the new sticker of MRP upon the printed MRP of the product. Under section 36 of the Legal Metrology Act, any person distributing or delivering any pre-packaged commodity that does not conform to declarations on the package shall be punished with fine up to Rs. 25,000 for the first offence, for the second offence the fine will rise upto Rs. 50,000 and for the subsequent offences the fine may go up to Rs. 1,00,000 with imprisonment for 1 year or both. Also as per the Package Commodity Rule 2007, it is illegal to sell any product above MRP (but these rules are not applicable on g]good weight above 25 kg or 25 litres). Hope this helps. Feel free to contact in case of further assitance.
